Table 1: Input range switch selector (SW2) Description Table 2: Output range switch selector (SW1) The Ultra SlimPak G438 is a DIN rali mount, potentiometer input signal conditioner with 1800Vdc isolation between DC power and the input/output circuitry. The input provides a constant voltage and is designed to accept any three-wire potentiometer from 100M to 100KM. The field configurable output is switch selectable providing either 0-5V, 0-10V, 0-1mA, 0-20mA or 4-20mA DC signal.
