Description
The G468 is a DIN rail mount, AC input signal conditioner with
1800VDC isolation between input, output and power. The field
configurable input and output offers flexible, wide ranging capa-
bility for scaling, converting or buffering AC inputs ranging from
5mA to 100mA or 50mV to 250V.
For AC current measurements above 100mA, use the model C006
shunt resistor (0.1 Ohm, 5Watt). This resistor must be wired in
series with the current source, with the G468 configured to
measure the voltage generated across the resistor (see Figure 3 for
an example).
The DC output of the G468 is proportional to the average of the
fully-rectified AC input signal, and is calibrated for sine waves
between 40-400Hz.
Application
The G468 is useful in applications requiring an isolated, condi-
tioned DC output from an AC signal. Typical applications include
energy management, load shedding, motor current/load monitor-
ing, locked rotor detection, isolation and data acquisition. The
output of the G468 can drive a digital meter for direct display or
it can interface with alarm or control devices, including PLCs and
computers.
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.
WARNING: Do not change switch settings with power applied.
Severe damage will result!
