AP4151

RTD Input, Signal Conditioners

Provides a DC Output in Proportion to an RTD Input

 Direct RTD Input
 Integral Lead-Length Compensation
 Wide-ranging input and output

Description

The AP4151-2000 is a wide-ranging, isolating signal conditioner
for RTD inputs. The input is configurable for either 2- or 3-wire
RTDs (2-wire requires a jumper wire across terminals 4 and 5 of the
mounting base). The RTD types supported are Platinum, Nickel
and Copper. Pushbutton ranging is used for adjusting the input
and output ranges. The output can be set to be either linear to
resistance or linear to temperature.

In most applications, the model AP4151-2000 can be used to
replace previous models of AP4001 and AP4151.

Mounting

All Action Paks feature plug-in installation. The model AP4151-2000 uses an
8-pin base and either molded socket M008 or DIN socket MD08.

Dimensions

Dimensions are in millimeters (inches)

 Plug-in Installation
 Selectable 120/240VAC Input Power

Applications

The Action Pak model AP4151-2000 is useful in any application
requiring a DC output from an RTD input. Typical applications
include energy management and data acquisition of process
temperatures. The output of the AP4151-2000 can drive a digital
meter for direct display, or interface with a computer for monitor­ing and control.

Mounting

All Action Paks feature plug-in installation. The AP4151-2000 uses
an 8-pin base, either the molded socket (M008) or the DIN rail
socket (MD08). An optional retaining spring (M801) is available if
required for the application.

Power Connections

Power is connected according to the table above. The unit
supports either 115VAC input (the default) or 230VAC input. If you
need 230VAC input, jumpers, located next to the input trans­former on the base board, need to be changed according to the
diagram below.

2. Hold down the pushbutton switch for 4 seconds. The Yellow and
Red LEDs should be on. Push the CAL button momentarily and the
Yellow and Green LEDs will be on. (From this point on, you can exit
the calibration procedure at any step without saving new data by
holding the CAL button for at least 4 seconds.)

3. Set the resistance to the value that matches your desired
maximum operational input temperature and push the CAL
button. The Yellow LED should now be on.

4. Set the resistance to the value that matches your desired
minimum operational input temperature and push the CAL
button. The Green and Red LEDs should now be on. If you do not
wish to change the output calibration, press the CAL button
rapidly three times to exit the calibration routine.

Diagnostic LEDs

Other than when executing the pushbutton calibration routine,
the LEDs blink under the following conditions:

GREEN: 2 Hz when the input is under range 8 Hz when the

input is over range

RED: 2 Hz when the output is under range 8 Hz when the

output is over range

An Under Range condition exists when the signal is lower than the
operational low value minus 6.25% of the operational span. An
Over Range condition exists when the signal is higher than the
operational high value plus 6.25% of the operational span.

A voltage output short circuit can cause an under range condition
(RED blinking at a 2 Hz rate). A current output open circuit can
cause an over range condition (RED blinking at an 8 Hz rate). There
could be two or more LEDs blinking at the same time, which means
the module has more than one error condition present. Only when
all error conditions have been cleared will the LEDs retrurn to their
normal condition (Green ON, Red and Yellow OFF).

Calibration

For best results, calibration should be performed in the operating
environment, allowing at least one hour warm-up for thermal
stability of the system. If pre-calibration on a test bench is desired,
an output load equal to the input impedance of the devices
connected to the AP4151-2000 output is recommended, along
with the warm-up period.

Note: Many applications do not require calibrating the output
levels and simply utilize the default operational ranges of the unit
(0-5VDC, 0-10VDC, 0-20mA or 4-20mA). If the factory default
calibration has been changed, the last saved operational output
values are utilized. In those applications, the only calibration
required is the operational input values. Once the maximum and
minimum input values have been set, the Green and Red LEDs will
be on. At this point, simply press the CAL button rapidly 3 times
and you will exit the calibration routine without effecting the last
saved calibration for the operational output values.

1. Connect a resistance decade box (with 0.01 precision) to the
input (Pins 5 and 6). Jumper pin 4 to pin 5. Connect the output
to a voltage or current meter, depending on your application.
Apply power and allow the system to reach thermal equilibrium.

5. If you do wish to do a custom operational range for the output,
increase the resistance until the output is precisely at the desired
maximum level (e.g. 20.00mA) and push the CAL button. The Red
LED should be on.

6. Decrease the resistance until the output is precisely at the
desired minimum level (e.g. 4.00mA) and push the CAL button. All
three LEDs should now be on.

7. To finish calibration, push the button one final time. The
calibration data is now saved. The Green LED should be on if the
input is within the calibrated range.
