Description
The Ultra Slim Pak G168 is a DIN rail mount, DC powered, AC
voltage or current input limit alarm with dual setpoints and two
contact closure outputs. The field configurable input and alarm
functions offer flexible setpoint capability. Input voltage spans
from 100mV to 250VAC and input current spans from 10mA to
100mA AC can be field configured. For current input spans of 1 to
5 Amps a 0.1 Ohm (5W) shunt resistor (Model# C006) is available.
The G168 is configurable as a single or dual setpoint alarm, with HI or
LO trips and failsafe or non-failsafe operation. Also included are
adjustable deadbands (0.25 to 5% of full scale input) for each setpoint.
The G168 will accept any DC voltage between 9 and 30VDC.
Diagnostic LEDS
The G168 is equipped with three front panel LEDs. The dual
function green LED is labeled INPUT and indicates line power and
input signal status. Active DC power is indicated by an illuminated
LED. If this LED is off, check DC power and the wiring connection.
If the input signal is more than 110% of the full scale range, the LED
will flash at 8 Hz. Below 0%, it flashes at 4 Hz. Two red LEDs indicate
the relay state for each setpoint. An illuminated red LED indicates
the tripped condition.
Output
The G168 is equipped with two SPDT (form C) relays, rated at
120VAC or 28VDC at 5 Amperes. Each of these relays is independently controlled by the field configurable setpoint and deadband.
Operation
The field configurable G168 limit alarm setpoints can be configured for HI or LO, failsafe or non-failsafe operation. Each of the
setpoints have a respective HI or LO deadband. In a tripped
condition, the setpoint is exceeded and the appropriate red LED
will illuminate. The trip will reset only when the process falls below
the HI deadband or rises above the LO deadband (see Figure 1).
For proper deadband operation, the HI setpoint must always be
set above the LO setpoint. In failsafe operation, the relay is
energized when the process is below the HI setpoint or above the
LO setpoint (opposite for non-failsafe). In the failsafe mode, a
power failure results in an alarm state output.

ASIC Technology for Enhanced Reliability
RoHS Compliant
Dynamic Deadband
Circuitry in the G168 prevents false trips by repeatedly sampling
the input. The input must remain beyond the setpoint for 100
milliseconds, uninterrupted, to qualify as a valid trip condition.
Likewise, the input must fall outside the deadband and remain
there for 100 milliseconds to return the alarm to an untripped
condition. This results in a “dynamic deadband” (based on time)
in addition to the normal deadband.
Configuration
Unless otherwise specified, the factory presets the Model G168 as
follows:
Input: Voltage
Range:
Output: Dual, SPDT
Failsafe: No
Deadband: A, B: 0.25%
The DC power input accepts any DC source between 9 and 30V;
typically a 12V or 24VDC source is used (see Accessories).
For other I/O ranges, refer to Table 1 and Figure 4 to reconfigure
switches SW1 and SW2 for the desired input type, range and
function.
1. With DC power off, position input switch "SW1-9, 10" for voltage
or current.
2. Set position 1 through 8 of “SW1” for the desired input range
(see Table 1).
3. Set position 1 and 2 of "SW2" to ON for a HI trip setpoint or
OFF for a LO trip (see Figure 4).
4. Set position 4 of "SW2" to ON for non-failsafe operation or OFF
for failsafe operation (e.g., alarm trips when power fails).

Calibration
Note: To maximize thermal stability, final calibration should be
performed in the operation installation, allowing approximately 1
to 2 hours for warm up and thermal equilibrium of the system.
1. After configuring the dip switches, connect the input to a
calibrated AC source and apply power. Refer to the terminal
wiring (Figure 6).
2. Setpoint: set deadband at its minimum (fully counterclockwise)
before adjusting the setpoint. With the desired trip input applied,
adjust the setpoint until the relay trips. For HI trip calibration, start
with the setpoint above the desired trip (fully clockwise). For LO
trip calibration, start below the desired trip (fully counterclockwise).
Relay Protection & EMI Suppression
When switching inductive loads, maximum relay life and transient
EMI suppression is achieved using external protection (see Figures
2 and 3). Place all protection devices directly across the load and
minimize all lead lengths. For AC inductive loads, place a properly
rated MOV across the load in parallel with a series RC snubber. Use
a 0.01 to 0.1uF pulse film capacitor (foil polypropylene recommended) of sufficient voltage, and a 47 ohm, 1/2W carbon
resistor. For DC inductive loads, place a diode across the load (PRV
> DC supply, 1N4006 recommended) with (+) to cathode and (-) to
anode (the RC snubber is an optional enhancement).

Figure 3: AC Inductive Loads
3. Deadband: Set deadband to its minimum (fully counterclockwise). Set the setpoint to the desired trip. Adjust the input until
the relay trips. Readjust deadband to 5% (fully clockwise). Set the
input signal to the desired deadband position. Slowly adjust
deadband until the relay untrips

Note: All Ultra SlimPak modules are designed to operate in ambient
temperatures from 0 to 55°C when mounted on a horizontal DIN rail. If
five or more modules are mounted on a vertical rail, circulating air or
model HS01 Heat Sink is recommended. Refer to HS01 Technical
Bulletin (#721-0549-00) or contact the factory for assistance.
