I/O Wiring, Installation/Removal
Electrical Connections
Polarity must be observed for input and output wiring connec-
tions. If the input and/or output do not function, check switch
settings and wiring polarity.
*
Do not make any connections to unused terminals or use
them as wiring junctions for external devices. This may cause
permanent damage to the module!
Input
The APD 7580 is compatible with most types of sensors as
long as the waveform produces a minimum 100 mV amplitude
change and a minimum 5 microsecond pulse width.
A 15 VDC supply is available to power the sensor if required.
Always refer to the sensor manufacturer's data sheet to deter-
mine supply voltage compatibility and proper wiring.

Sensor Load
The signal input of the APD 7580 is capacitively coupled to
prevent any DC in the input. Some sensors, typically those
without an internal load resistor, require a resistive load in
order to function.
The resistor value may be specified by the sensor manufacturer
as the "minimum resistive load" or calculated from the sensor
manufacturer's specified "load current range".
The 15 VDC power supply is capable of providing 25 mA. A
load current range of 3 mA to 25 mA would typically use a 5
kΩ to 500 Ω resistor.
For NPN sensors use an external resistor across terminals 2
and 3 if required.
For PNP sensors use an external resistor across terminals 2
and 4 if required.
Output
Polarity must be observed when connecting the signal output to
the load. See the table below and the wiring diagrams at right.
The APD 7580 output can be wired to provide power to drive
a current loop. Determine if your receiving device provides
power to the current loop or if the loop must be powered by
the APD module.
Use a multi-meter to check for voltage at your device's input
terminals. Typical voltage may be 9-24 VDC if it provides power
to the loop.
Type of Device for Output

Measuring/recording device
10 (–)
accepts a voltage input.
Measuring/recording device
accepts a mA (current) input
10 (–)
and the input is unpowered or
passive. APD module provides
the loop power.
Measuring/recording device
accepts a mA (current) input
11 (–)
and provides power to the
current loop.
Module Power
Check model/serial number label for module operating voltage
to make sure it matches available power.
When using DC power, either polarity is acceptable, but for
consistency with similar API products, positive (+) can be wired
to terminal 13 and negative (–) can be wired to terminal 16.

Mounting to a DIN Rail
Install module vertically on a 35 mm DIN rail in a protective
enclosure away from heat sources. Do not block air flow. Allow
1" (25 mm) above and below housing vents for air circulation.

Removal
Avoid shock hazards! Turn signal input, output, and power off
before removing module.
1. Push up on bottom back of module.
2. Tilt front of module downward to release Upper Mount
