Diagnostic LED
The G468 is equipped with a dual function LED signal monitor. The green, front mounted LED indicates both DC power and input signal status. Active DC power is indicated by an illuminated LED. If the input signal is more than 110% of the full scale range, the LED will flash at 8Hz. Below -10%, the flash rate is 4Hz.

Configuration
The G468 has 15 input range switch settings. Trim potentiometers allow 50% input zero and span adjustablity within each of the 15 fullscale, input ranges.

Since the unit has 50% adjustability, it can be ranged so that any 100 volt input span can create the full output (e.g., 25 to 125Vac = full output).

Unless otherwise specified, the factory presets the Model G468 as follows:

Input Range: 0-500mVAC
Output: 4-20mA

The DC power input accepts any DC source between 9 and 30V; typically a 12V or 24VDC source is used (see Accessories).

Refer to Tables 1 through 3 for the proper switch settings. With power disconnected, use the switches (9 & 10) on SW1 to select the input type (voltage or current), on SW2 to select the desired output ranges, and (1-8) on SW1 to select the desired input range.

Calibration
  1. After configuring the DIP switches, connect the input to a calibrated AC source. Connect the output to the device (or a load approximately equivalent to the device) and apply power. Refer to the Terminal Wiring Diagram (Figure 2).
  2. Set the calibrator to the desired minimum and adjust the zero potentiometer for the desired minimum output.
  3. Set the calibrator to the desired maximum and adjust the span potentiometer for the desired maximum output.
  4. Repeat steps 2 and 3, if necessary for best accuracy.
