AP6380
Input Isolated, Field Configurable Isolator
Provides a Fully Isolated DC Output
in Proportion to an AC Input
Field Configurable Input Ranges: 50mV to 200V AC,
5mA to 100mA AC
Four Field Configurable Output Ranges: 0-5V, 0-10V,
0-1mA, 4-20mA
Description
The field configurable AP6380 signal conditioner offers wide
ranging input capability for scaling, converting or isolating AC
inputs ranging from 5mA AC to 100mA AC or 50mV AC to 200V
AC. The DC output of the AP6380 is proportional to the average
of the fully-rectified AC input signal, and is calibrated for sine
waves from DC to 1KHz.
For current inputs above 100mA AC, it is recommended that an
input shunt resistor be used and the AP6380 be configured for the
proper input voltage range. For example, for a 5A AC current
transformer output, use the Action model C006 resistor (0.1W,
5W, 1%) and set the input for 0-500mV AC.
Application
The Action Pak AP6380 is useful in applications requiring a
conditioned DC output from an AC source. Typical applications
include energy management, load shedding, motor current/load
monitoring, locked rotor detection, isolation and data acquisition.
The output of the AP6380 can drive a digital meter for direct
display or can interface with alarming or control devices including
PLCs and computers.
Diagnostic LED
Input power and signal status are indicated with a dual-function
LED on the AP6380. The green LED will illuminate when line power
is applied, and will pulse quickly (8 Hz) if the input rises 10% above
the set input full scale range. If this continues to occur, you may
wish to change your full scale input range setting.
Eliminates Ground Loops
Plug-In Installation
Selectable 120/240VAC Input Power
The line power is preset at the factory for 120V AC. This may be
reconfigured by referring to figure 2.
Warning: Do not change switch settings with power applied.
Severe damage may occur!
Calibration
1. Before applying power to the Action Pak, set the DIP switches
inside the Action Pak for your full scale input and full scale output
ranges. Refer to Tables 1, 2 & 3 showing switch configuration
settings.
2. Connect the AC input terminals (5 & 6) to a calibrated AC
voltage or AC current source. Connect a meter to measure the
output (terminals 7 & 8).
3. Connect power to terminals (1 & 3) on the Action Pak and turn
on the power.
4. Wait approximately 1 hour to ensure thermal stability before
calibrating.
5. Set the calibrator to the desired minimum AC input on the
Action Pak. Adjust the “Zero” potentiometer until the DC output
coincides with the desired minimum output.
6. Set the calibrator input to the desired full scale AC input. Adjust
the “Span” potentiometer until the DC output coincides with the
desired full scale output.
Configuration
The AP6380 can be set for a wide variety of full scale input ranges.
The factory pre-sets the AP6380 with an input range of 0-500mV
AC (SW1 & W2) and an output range of 4-20mA DC (SW2) as shown
in Figure 1. For other I/O ranges, remove the four base screws to
access the I/O range configuration selectors.
7. Repeat steps 5 and 6, as necessary, for best accuracy.
