Description
Opto 22’s G4 AC output modules are used to control or switch
AC loads. Each module provides up to 4000 volts of optical
isolation (transient) between field outputs and the control
side of the circuit, and each features zero voltage turn-on and
zero current turn-off. All AC output modules are equivalent to
single-pole, single-throw, normally open contacts (Form A,
SPST-NO) except the G4OAC5A5, which is equivalent to a
single-pole, single-throw, normally closed contact (Form B,
SPST-NC).
Each module is equipped with a 4 amp fast-blow fuse. The
fuse breaking capacity is 40 amps at 250 VAC. Current should
be limited to prevent the short circuit current from exceeding
the rated breaking capacity of the fuse.
The G4OAC5MA and the G4OAC5AMA are special modules
featuring a manual-on/manual-off/automatic switch, ideal for
diagnostic testing of control applications.
Typical applications for AC output modules include switching
loads such as AC relays, solenoids, motor starters, heaters,
lamps, and indicators.
Part numbers ending in FM are Factory Mutual approved.

Products
Opto 22 develops and manufactures reliable, flexible, easy-to-
use hardware and software products for industrial automation,
energy management, remote monitoring, and data
acquisition applications.
OptoEMU Energy Management System
The easy-to-use OptoEMU Sensor monitors electrical energy
use in your facility and delivers detailed, real-time data you
can see, analyze, and use in building and control systems. The
Sensor can monitor energy data from pulsing meters,
electrical panels or subpanels, and equipment. View energy
data online using a software service or incorporate the data
into your control system for complete energy management.
SNAP PAC System
Designed to simplify the typically complex
process of selecting and applying an
automation system, the SNAP PAC
System consists of four integrated
components:
SNAP PAC controllers
PAC Project Software Suite
SNAP PAC brains
SNAP I/O
SNAP PAC Controllers
Programmable automation controllers
(PACs) are multifunctional, modular controllers based on
open standards.
Opto 22 has been manufacturing PACs for over two
decades. The standalone SNAP PAC S-series, the rack-mounted
SNAP PAC R-series, and the software-based SoftPAC™ all
handle a wide range of digital, analog, and serial functions for
data collection, remote monitoring, process control, and
discrete and hybrid manufacturing.
SNAP PACs are based on open Ethernet and Internet Protocol
(IP) standards, so you can build or extend a system easily,
without the expense and limitations of proprietary networks
and protocols. Wired+Wireless™ models are also available.
PAC Project Software Suite
Opto 22’s PAC Project Software Suite provides full-featured,
cost-effective control programming, HMI (human machine
interface) development and runtime, OPC server, and
database connectivity software for your SNAP PAC System.
Control programming includes both easy-to-learn flowcharts
and optional scripting. Commands are in plain English;
variables and I/O point names are fully descriptive.
PAC Project Basic offers control and HMI tools and is free for
download on our website, www.opto22.com. PAC Project
Professional, available for separate purchase, adds one
SoftPAC, OptoOPCServer, OptoDataLink, options for controller
redundancy or segmented networking, and support for legacy
Opto 22 serial mistic I/O units.
SNAP PAC Brains
While SNAP PAC controllers provide central control and data
distribution, SNAP PAC brains provide distributed intelligence
for I/O processing and communications. Brains offer analog,
digital, and serial functions, including thermocouple
linearization; PID loop control; and optional high-speed digital
counting (up to 20 kHz), quadrature counting, TPO, and pulse
generation and measurement.
SNAP I/O
I/O provides the local connection to sensors and equipment.
Opto 22 SNAP I/O offers 1 to 32 points of reliable I/O per
module, depending on the type of module and your needs.
Analog, digital, and serial modules are all
mixed on the same mounting rack and
controlled by the same processor (SNAP
PAC brain or rack-mounted controller).
Quality
Founded in 1974, Opto 22 has established a
worldwide reputation for high-quality
products. All are made in the U.S.A. at our
manufacturing facility in Temecula,
California. Because we test each product
twice before it leaves our factory, rather
than only testing a sample of each batch,
we can guarantee most solid-state relays
and optically isolated I/O modules for life.
Free Product Support
Opto 22’s California-based Product Support Group offers free,
comprehensive technical support for Opto 22 products. Our
staff of support engineers represents decades of training and
experience. Support is available in English and Spanish by
phone or email, Monday–Friday, 7 a.m. to 5 p.m. PST.
Additional support is always available on our website: how-to
videos, OptoKnowledgeBase, self-training guide,
troubleshooting and users guides, and OptoForums.
In addition, hands-on training is available for free at our
Temecula, California headquarters, and you can register online.
Purchasing Opto 22 Products
Opto 22 products are sold directly and through a worldwide
network of distributors, partners, and system integrators. For
more information, contact Opto 22 headquarters at 800-321-
6786 or 951-695-3000, or visit our website at
