Description
20 Hz
The API 7500 G accepts a DC voltage or current input and
provides an optically isolated frequency output that is directly
proportional to the input. Common applications include pulse
counting or totalizing of DC process signals from devices such
as flow transmitters, analog signal transmission over long
distances, or analog inputs into PLCs. The full 3-way (input,
output, power) isolation makes this module useful for ground
sink
loop elimination, common mode signal rejection, and noise
depending on load
p-p
pickup reduction.
A low frequency cutout potentiometer can be adjusted to dis-
able the output when the input falls below a pre-determined
level. The API 7500 G can be field-configured via external
rotary and slide switches. Common ranges are on the module
label, however, virtually unlimited combinations are possible.
The API 7500 G has an open drain MOSFET (open collector)
output which requires a user supplied external power supply
and pull-up resistor allowing the module to be interfaced with
a wide variety of devices. For a TTL powered output, order the
M02 option.

Sink/Source Versatility
For maximum versatility the input can be selectively wired for
sinking (unpowered) or sourcing (powered) milliamp output.
The 18 VDC loop excitation supply can be used to power a
milliamp current loop if required. The input can also be wired
for an externally powered loop.
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 the output span.
The output test button greatly aids in saving time during initial
startup and/or troubleshooting.
