Totalization/Integration Applications
Application
The AP7500 and AP7501 are useful in totalizing applications, where
the total number of pulses counted in a given time period
represents the time integral of the DC input. If, for example, the
input represents a flow in gallons per hour, then the time integral
of this flow signal (total count) will represent total gallons. The
AP7500’s 6V square wave output can be used to drive electronic
counters (DTL, TTL, CMOS). The AP7501 can be used to drive
electromechanical counters when connected to an external AC or
DC power source. In the AP7501, the DPDT relay contacts are
pulsed (closed) for only a short duration (100 milliseconds) for
compatibility with standard electromechanical counters. The
AP7500 can also be used in telemetry systems, where the dc signal
is converted to a frequency, transmitted over long lines, and then
decoded at the receiving end by means of a frequency to DC
converter, such as the AP7380.
Options
CS Canadian Standards Association Certification.
U Urethane coating of internal circuitry for protection from
corrosive atmospheres.
C Open collector output instead of the standard 6V output,
sinks up to 50mA, up to 30V (AP7500 only).
Output Ranges
The output frequency range is selectable via the 16-position rotary
switch accessible through the top cover. See tables 1 and 2 for
output selection. Since ranging is accomplished through digital
circuitry, the accuracy of the unit is unaffected by the switch
position; each successive position exactly halves (clockwise) or
doubles (counterclockwise) the previous output frequency (see
“Calibration”).

Input Ranges
Standard input ranges and limits are included in Tables 3 and 4.
Cutout
The top accessed Cutout adjustment determines the input (level)
at which the AP7500 or AP7501 no longer responds (i.e., the unit
is effectively “off”) and is adjustable from 0-10% of the input span.
This feature is especially useful with low frequency spans, where
the time between output pulses is excessively long at low input
levels. A light-emitting diode (LED) visible through the top-cover
aids in adjusting cutout. This LED lights when the unit is no longer
responding to the input. With the input at the desired cutout level,
adjust Cutout slowly clockwise until the LED lights. Then turn the
adjustment counterclockwise until the LED just goes out. Cutout
is now set for the input level present.
Calibration
Zero, Span and Low-End Cutout adjustments are screwdriver
adjustable, accessible through the top cover.
Zero and Span: Monitor the unit’s output using an accurate
frequency counter. Apply an input equal to 5% of the specified
input span. If the cutout LED (visible through the top cover) is lit,
adjust Cutout counterclockwise until it turns off. Adjust Zero for
5% of the desired full scale output frequency. Apply full scale input
and adjust Span for the desired maximum output frequency.
Repeat these adjustments for best accuracy.
Note: For faster calibration of low frequency spans, use the range
selector switch to multiply the output frequency. Each position
counterclockwise exactly doubles the output frequency. After
calibration, return the selector switch to the proper range position.
