Description

The API 6380 G accepts an AC voltage or current input and pro-
vides an optically isolated DC voltage or current output that is 
linearly related to the input. Accuracy is maintained over a wide 
frequency range for maximum flexibility. A true RMS model API 
6380 G S is available for distorted AC inputs. 
The full 3-way (input, output, power) isolation makes this mod-
ule useful for ground loop elimination, common mode signal 
rejection or noise pickup reduction. 
20 input and 16 output ranges can be field-configured via 
external rotary and slide switches. Popular ranges are listed 
on the module label. Consult the factory for assistance with 
special ranges. 

LoopTracker 

API exclusive features include two LoopTracker LEDs (green for 
input, red for output) that vary in intensity with changes in the 
process input and output signals. These provide a quick visual 
picture of your process loop at all times and can greatly aid in 
saving time during initial startup and/or troubleshooting. 

Output Test 

An API exclusive feature includes the test button to provide a 
fixed output (independent of the input) when held depressed. 
The test output level is potentiometer adjustable from 0 to 
100% of output span. 
The output test button greatly aids in saving time during initial 
startup and/or troubleshooting.
