MODEL APLIT - APOLLO 5 AMP AC CURRENT METER
DESCRIPTION
The Model APLIT Apollo 5 amp AC Current Meter provides the capability
of measuring large AC currents. The internal current shunt in the APLIT can
measure up to 5 amps AC current directly. Using an external current
transformer, AC currents of up to 1,999 amps can be measured and displayed.
The APLIT can be scaled, using the coarse scaling pot., to display between
200 and 1999 when measuring full scale current. Using the DIP switch
selectable decimal points, the display can be customized for direct readout for
practically any application.
The attractive die-cast metal bezel of the Apollo not only enhances the
appearances of any panel, it can be sealed in the front panel for use in wash-
down areas and tough, dirty industrial environments. The 3 1/2-digit display
features 0.56" (14.2 mm) high, 7-segment LED's for easy reading. Also
featured is a removable terminal block on the rear that facilitates installation
wiring and change-outs.
SAFETY SUMMARY
All safety related regulations, local codes and instructions that appear in the
manual or on equipment must be observed to ensure personal safety and to
prevent damage to either the instrument or equipment connected to it. If
equipment is used in a manner not specified by the manufacturer, the protection
provided by the equipment may be impaired.
CAUTION: Read complete
instructions prior to installation
and operation of the unit.

SPECIFICATIONS
1. DISPLAY: 3 1/2-digit, 0.56" (14.2 mm) high, 7-segment LED. Decimal
points inserted before the 1st, 2nd, or 3rd least significant digits by DIP
switch selection.
2. POWER: Available in either 115 VAC or 230 VAC versions. Allowable
power line variation ±10%, 50/60 Hz, 6 VA.
Isolation: 2300 Vrms for 1 min. between inputs and supply (300 V working
voltage).
3. ACCURACY: ±(0.5% of reading + 5 digits).
4. SIGNAL INPUT:
Range: 0 to 5 Amps AC @ 25 to 400 Hz
Resolution: 2.5 mA
5. OVER-RANGE INDICATION: indicated by blanking 3 least significant
digits.
6. MAX SHUNT CURRENT: 50 amps for 1 sec.; 8 amps continuous.
Caution: In circuits where fault currents can exceed the maximum shunt
current, a fast-blow fuse should be installed in series with the input signal.
Otherwise, a slow blow 8 amp fuse is recommended that will allow for
start-up over current situations, while still protecting the instrument.
