Configuration A major
advantage of the G438 is its wide ranging capabilities and ease of
configuration.
For example, in a valve positioning application a
potentiometer is sometimes used as a feedback signal. Quite often a wide open
valve is only a 25% turn of the feedback potentiometer. In this case the G438
can easily be adjusted with the zero and span to provide a full scale output
signal (e.g. 4-20mA) representing 0-25% or even 50- 75% of the potentiometer
input.
Unless otherwise specified, the factory presets the Model
G438 as follows: Input Range: 0 to 100%/Output: 4 to 20mA.
The DC power input accepts any DC source between 9 and 30V;
typically a 12V or 24VDC source is used (see Accessories).
For other output ranges, refer to Tables 1 and 2 to
reconfigure switches SW1 and SW2 for the desired input and output ranges.

Calibration
- With power disconnected, set the output and input switch
selectors (SW1 and SW2) to the desired ranges (Tables 1 and 2).
- Connect the input and output as shown in Figure 1.
Connect the output to the actual device load (or a load approximately
equivalent to the actual device load value) and apply power.
- Set the input potentiometer to the desired minimum and
adjust the zero potentiometer for the desired minimum output.
- Set the input potentiometer to the desired maximum and
adjust the span potentiometer for the desired maximum output.
- Repeat steps 3 and 4, if necessary, for best accuracy.
eter to the desired minimum and adjust the zero potentiometer for the desired
minimum output.
- Set the input potentiometer to the desired maximum and
adjust the span potentiometer for the desired maximum output.
- Repeat steps 3 and 4, if necessary, for best
accuracy.
