Description
The API 3200 G controls the position of a valve or linear actua-
tor by comparing a DC input (control signal) to that of a position
feedback potentiometer or slidewire. An SPDT relay provides
bi-directional (open-close) signals to drive a motor to open or
close a valve.
When the valve position, as indicated by the feedback poten-
tiometer, becomes equal to the position as represented by the
control input, the relay will go to the neutral position and the
motor will halt. A top-accessible multi-turn deadband control
allows precise positioning of the motor without hunting or
oscillation.
The API 3200 G M01 controls the position of a valve or linear
actuator by comparing a DC voltage control signal to that of a
voltage feedback signal.
The API 3200 G M420 controls the position of a valve or linear
actuator by comparing a DC milliamp control signal to that of a
current feedback signal.
All versions of the API 3200 G have heavy-duty relay contacts
allow the modules to directly control high capacity loads with-
out a secondary device.
Auto/Manual Switch
A top-accessible Auto/Manual switch allows either closed-loop
automatic control of valve position or manual positioning via
the Open/Close push buttons.
The manual mode is useful for troubleshooting, calibration,
system testing or as a manual bypass.
LoopTracker and Relay Status LEDs
API exclusive features include a LoopTracker LED that varies in
intensity with changes in the input signal. Monitoring this LED
can provide a quick visual picture of your process at all times
and save time during initial startup and/or troubleshooting.
A red/green bi-color LED visually indicates control relay status.
The LED indicates green for opening, red for closing and off
for neutral position.

Instructions API 3200
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.
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.
Socket and Mounting
Install module in a protective panel or enclosure. Allow space
around module for air flow. Use API 011 or API 011 FS socket.
See specifications for maximum allowable socket voltages. The
socket clips to a standard 35 mm DIN rail or can be mounted to
a flat surface.
Control Input
The input range is factory configured and calibrated (at 24°C
±1°C), and normally does not require adjustment. See "Zero
and Span" at right if adjustment is needed. See the model/
serial number label for input type, range, and options.
Terminals 4 and 5 provide the appropriate connections for the
input signal. Polarity must be observed when connecting the
signal input. The positive connection (+) is applied to terminal
4 and the negative (–) is applied to terminal 5.
If a 4-20 mA control input is specified the module does not
provide power to the loop. The 4-20 mA signal must be from a
powered transmitter or a loop with a power supply.
Potentiometer (Slidewire) Feedback Signal
Terminals 6, 7, 8 provide the appropriate connections for the
position feedback signal. The potentiometer or slidewire wiper
is connected to terminal 7.
Voltage (M01) or mA (M420) Feedback Signal
Terminals 6 and 7 provide the appropriate connections for the
position feedback signal. Polarity must be observed.
The API 3200 G M420 uses a 4-20 mA feedback signal. The
module does not provide power to the loop, thus the feedback
signal must be from a powered transmitter or a loop with a
power supply.
Relay Output Terminals
Terminals 9, 10, 11 provide the appropriate connections for the
desired motor operations.
Module Power
Check model/serial number label for module operating voltage
to make sure it matches available power.
When using DC power, polarity must be observed. The positive
(+) must be wired to terminal 1 and negative (–) must be wired
to terminal 3.
Deadband
For most applications the deadband is the only required
adjustment.
1. Deadband is normally adjusted after installation is com-
plete.
2. Turn the deadband potentiometer counterclockwise to
minimum.
3. Provide a near mid-level control input signal.
4. Allow the valve to stabilize.
5. If overshoot, oscillation, or hunting are detected, slowly
increase the deadband clockwise to eliminate the oscilla-
tion.
Zero and Span
Zero and span adjustments are located on the side of the case
and normally do not need to be adjusted.
1. If adjustment is required, apply a control input that repre-
sents the fully closed position.
2. Adjust the zero control to just close the valve.
3. Apply a full open control input signal.
4. Adjust the span control to just fully open the valve.
Operation
The API 3200 G provides an excitation voltage to the feedback
potentiometer on the valve or valve actuator and monitors
its position. If the difference between the control signal and
the feedback signal is greater than the deadband setting, the
appropriate relay is energized to actuate the positioning motor.
The API 3200 G M420 uses a 4-20 mA control signal input
and feedback signal (unless another current range was speci-
fied). The difference between the control signal input and the
feedback signal is compared to the deadband setting. If the
difference between the two is greater than the deadband set-
ting, the appropriate relay contact is energized to actuate the
positioning motor.
API 3200 G M01 has a voltage feedback signal and control
signal input (unless another voltage range was specified). The
difference between the control signal input and the feedback
signal is compared to the deadband setting. If the difference
between the two is greater than the deadband setting, the
appropriate relay contact is energized to actuate the position-
ing motor.
The LoopTracker®input LED provides a visual indication that a
signal is being sensed by the input circuitry of the module. It
also indicates the input signal strength by changing in intensity
as the process changes from minimum to maximum to provide
a quick visual picture of your process loop at all times.
If the LED fails to illuminate, or fails to change in intensity as
the process changes, this may indicate a problem with module
power or signal input wiring. This features greatly aid in saving
time during initial start-up or troubleshooting.
Control Relays
For all versions an electronic lockout circuit is used to prevent
both relay contacts from closing simultaneously. When the
input and the feedback signals are equal, the relay contacts
will go to the neutral position.
The bi-color relay LED provides a visual indication of the relay
status. In all configurations, a green LED indicates a valve open
relay position and a red LED indicates a valve closed relay posi-
tion. In the neutral position, the LED will be off.
Manual/Auto Mode
Switching the top-mounted toggle switch to Manual allows the
Open and Close push buttons to be used to position the valve
independent of the control and feedback signals. The manual
mode is useful for troubleshooting, calibration, system testing,
or as a manual bypass. The bi-color relay LED indicates the
controller’s Open/Close relay contact status. Switching to Auto
mode allows normal operation.
