Description Configuration
The Ultra SlimPak G408 is a DIN rail mount, DC input signal The G408 has 18 input range settings. Trim potentiometers allow
conditioner with 1800VDC isolation between input, output and 50% input zero and span adjustability within each of the 18 full
power. The field configurable input and output offers flexible, scale input ranges.
wide ranging capability for DC current and voltage signals.
Unless otherwise specified, the factory presets the Model G408-
The input can be configured for any one of 12 voltage ranges from 0001 and G408-1001 as follows:
10mV to 100V or 6 current ranges from 1mA to 100mA (see Table
1). The output is linear to the input and can be set for either 0- G408-0001
5V, 0-10V, 0-1mA, 0-20mA or 4-20mA (for models G408-0001) Input Range: 4-20mA
and -5 to +5V or -10 to +10V (for model G408-1001). Output Range: 4-20mA

Wide ranging, precision zero and span pots allow 50% adjustability G408-1001

turned down to 0-1mA and provide a full scale output signal (e.g.
4-20mA), or turned down and offset to achieve a 1-2mA/4-20mA The DC power input accepts any source between 9 and 30V;
I/O combination. typically a 12V or 24VDC source is used (see Accessories).

The G408 also accepts bipolar inputs (e.g. 10V range set to bipolar = To minumize interference from electrical and magnetic fields, the
-10 to +10V) and offers selectable normal or reverse operation (e.g. use of shielded, twisted pair wires on the input and output is
4-20mA/20-4mA). The ASIC based I/O channel is optically isolated recommended.
to 1800VDC and is transformer isolated from the power supply.
WARNING! Do not change switch settings with power applied.
Application Severe damage will result!
The G408 is useful in eliminating ground loops, converting signal
levels, and providing signal drive. The field configurable, wide Refer to Tables 1 through 4 for the proper switch settings. Use the
ranging capability ensures maximum flexibility for most DC to DC switches on SW1 to select the input type (voltage or current) and
applications, minimizing spare part requirements. also to select the desired input range and function setting. Use
SW2 to select the desired output type.
Diagnostic LED
The G408 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.
 Calibration
1. After configuring the DIP switches, connect the input to a calibrated
DC source. Connect the output to the actual device load (or a load
approximately equivalent to the device load) and apply power.

Note: To maximize thermal stability, final calibration should be

performed in the operating installation, allowing approximately 1
to 2 hours for warm up and thermal equilibrium of the system.

2. Set the calibrator to the desired minimum input and adjust the
zero potentiometer for the desired minimum output.

3. Set the calibrator to the desired maximum input and adjust the
span potentiometer for the desired maximum output.

Note: All Ultra SlimPak modules are designed to operate in ambient

temperatures from 0 to 55°C when mounted on a horizontal DIN rail. If
five or more modules are mounted on a vertical rail, circulating air or
model HS01 Heat Sink is recommended. Refer to HS01 Technical
Bulletin (#721-0549-00) or contact the factory for assistance.
