Description
The APD 6380 accepts an AC voltage or current input and
provides an optically isolated DC voltage or current output that
is linearly related to the input.
Typical applications include signal isolation, conversion, boost-
ing or a combination of the three. Full 3-way isolation (input,
output, power) makes this module useful for ground loop
elimination, common mode signal rejection or noise pickup
reduction.
Sink/Source Output Versatility
For maximum versatility a milliamp output can be selectively
wired for sinking or sourcing. This allows the APD 6380 mil-
liamp output to connect to a powered or unpowered current
loop. The 20 VDC output loop supply can be used to power a
passive mA device if required.
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.
All models are field rangeable

Precautions
WARNING! All wiring must be performed by a qualified electrician
or instrumentation engineer. See diagram for terminal designa-
tions and wiring examples. Consult factory for assistance.
WARNING! Avoid shock hazards! Turn signal input, output, and
power off before connecting or disconnecting wiring, or remov-
ing or installing module.
mV and Voltage Input Table
Précautions
ATTENTION! Tout le câblage doit être effectué par un élec-
tricien ou ingénieur en instrumentation qualifié. Voir le dia-
gramme pour désignations des bornes et des exemples de
câblage. Consulter l'usine pour assistance.
ATTENTION! Éviter les risques de choc! Fermez le signal
d'entrée, le signal de sortie et l'alimentation électrique avant
de connecter ou de déconnecter le câblage, ou de retirer ou
d'installer le module.
Ranges
See tables below and on next page for switch settings.
For ranges not listed here or for ranges that fall between
the listed ranges see api-usa.com/APD6380 and download
apd6380ranges.pdf for the complete range table.
Electrical Connections
Polarity must be observed for output wiring connections. If the
module does not function, check switch settings and wiring.
See wiring diagrams at right.
*Do not make any connections to unused terminals or use
them as wiring junctions for external devices. This may cause
permanent damage to the module!
Input
Set switch A to "V" for a voltage input or "I" for a current input.
Connect the AC signal input to terminals 9 and 11 as shown at
right. Either polarity may be used.

Voltage Input Range Selection
See table below (voltage inputs) and on the next page (current
inputs) to select I/O ranges for your application. It is generally
easier to select ranges before installation.
The module side label lists common ranges. See the model/
serial number label for module information, options, or if a
custom range was specified.
It may also be possible to use the next highest setting and trim
the output signal with the zero and span potentiometers.
Switch A: Set to "V" for voltage input
Switch B: Input range
Switch C: Input range
Switch D: Output range
Switch E: Set to "V" for voltage output or "I" for current
output
Note that when using a current shunt input, it measures a mV
drop across a fixed resistance, typically 50 mV, 75 mV or 100
mV. The correct input setting would be the appropriate mV
range for the shunt.

Voltage Output
Set switch E to "V" for a voltage output.
If your receiving device (such as a PLC or a display) uses a
voltage input, use terminals 3 and 4 as shown in the wiring
diagram.
Current Output
Set switch E to "I" for a current output.
Determine if your receiving device (such as a PLC or a display)
provides power to the current loop or if the loop must be pow-
ered by the APD module. Typical voltage may be 9-24 VDC at
your device's input terminals if it provides power to the loop.
If your device does not power the current loop, the APD can
provide power using terminals 3 and 4 as shown in the wiring
diagram.
If it provides power to the loop or an external supply provides
power to the loop, use terminals 2 and 3 aas shown in the
wiring diagram.
Module Power
Check model/serial number label for module operating voltage
to make sure it matches available power.
When using DC power, either polarity is acceptable, but for
consistency with similar API products, positive (+) can be wired
to terminal 13 and negative (–) can be wired to terminal 16.

Mounting to a DIN Rail
Install module vertically on a 35 mm DIN rail in a protective
enclosure away from heat sources. Do not block air flow. Allow
1" (25 mm) above and below housing vents for air circulation.

Removal
Avoid shock hazards! Turn signal input, output, and power off
before removing module.
1. Push up on bottom back of module.
2. Tilt front of module downward to release Upper Mount from top
edge of DIN rail.
3. The module can now be removed
from the DIN rail.
Calibration
Input and output ranges, if specified on your order, are factory
pre-configured (at 24°C ±1°C).
Front-mounted Zero and Span potentiometers are used to
calibrate the output to compensate for load and lead variations.
Note: Perform the following calibration procedure any time
switch settings are changed.
1. Apply power to the module and allow a minimum 20 min-
ute warm up time.
2. Using an accurate calibration source, provide an input to
the module equal to the minimum input required for the
application.
3. Using an accurate measurement device for the output,
adjust the Zero potentiometer for the exact minimum
output desired. The Zero control should only be adjusted
when the input signal is at its minimum. This will produce
the corresponding minimum output signal. For example: 4
mA for a 4-20 mA output or –10 V for a ±10V output.
4. Set the input at maximum and adjust the Span pot for the
exact maximum output desired. The Span control should
only be adjusted when the input signal is at its maximum.
This will produce the corresponding maximum output
signal. Example: for 4-20 mA output, the Span control will
provide adjustment for the 20 mA or high end of the signal.
5. Repeat adjustments for maximum accuracy.
Output Test Function
When the Test button is depressed it will drive the output with a
known good signal that can be used as a diagnostic aid during
initial start-up or troubleshooting. When released, the output
will return to normal.
The Test Cal. potentiometer is factory set to approximately
50% output. It can be adjusted to set the test output from 0 to
100% of the output span. Press and hold the Test button and
adjust the Test Cal. potentiometer for the desired output level.
Operation
The APD 6380 accepts an AC voltage or current input and
provides an optically isolated DC voltage or current output that
is linearly related to the input.
The green LoopTracker®input LED provides a visual indication
that a signal is being sensed by the input circuitry of the mod-
ule. It also indicates the input signal strength by changing in
intensity as the process changes from minimum to maximum.
If the LED fails to illuminate, or fails to change in intensity as
the process changes, check the module power or signal input
wiring. Note that it may be difficult to see the LEDs under bright
lighting conditions.
The red LoopTracker output LED provides a visual indication
that the output signal is functioning. It becomes brighter as
the input and the corresponding output change from minimum
to maximum.
For current outputs, the red LED will only light if the output loop
current path is complete. For either current or voltage outputs,
failure to illuminate or a failure to change in intensity as the
process changes may indicate a problem with the module
power or signal output wiring.
