The SP718-mA Modulated Carrier Amplifier and Analog Transm it t er is a meter mounted device designed to combine the advantages of the Modulated Carrier principle with the convenience of an analog output in a single PCB assembly. The SP718-mA linearly converts the detected carrier frequency shift rate t o an equivalent 4-20mA current output. When incorporated with a turbine flowmeter a current representat ion proportional to flow is obtainable. Data transmission in a curr ent format exhibits excellent noise immunity and the capability of long distance transmissions.
The SP718-mA produces a carrier frequency in conjunction with an RF pickup coil, detects the shif t in t he carrier frequency (Modulation) that occur s with the passage of magnetic mater ial and linearly generat es a 4-20mA output that is proportional to the rate of modulation.
A full-scale freq uency range of 25-3500Hz is jumper selectable. The Span Adj ustment establishes the frequency point at which a 20mA output is achieved.
The Modulated Carrier principle introduces no drag on the passing magnetic device; therefore, when utilized with a turbine flowmeter extension of the flowmeter’s nominal linear rang e at the low end of the flow spectrum is realized. This parameter is particularly useful when measuring a low mass gas and the operating flowrate is at the f lowmeter ’s low end.

E)
Install Jumper @ JU1-3 for desired Full Scale Freq uency Range
Turn Power Supply ‘ON’, LED D1 Illuminates & O’Scope displays a 50KHz +/- 5KHz 6Vp-p Carrier Sinewave
G)
Adjust ‘ZERO’ (R25) for a DMM Indication of 4.00mA
H)
Set Frequency Generator function to Sinewave, Amplitude to 500mVp-p with 2.5VDC Generator POSITIVE Lead to TP1 (R11) & NEGATIVE Lead to J1-2.
I)
Adjust ‘SPAN’ (R23) for DMM Indication of 20.00mA
Reduce Signal Amplitude of Frequency Generator to Zero, Adjust ‘ZERO’ (R25) for DMM Indication of 4.00mA if necessary
K)
Increase Signal Amplitude of Frequency Gener ator to 500mVp-p, 2.5VDC OFFSET; Adjust ‘SPAN’ (R23) for DMM Indication of 20.00mA if necessary
L)
Adjust Frequency of Freq uency Gener ator to 0, 25, 50, 75, & 100% of Full Scale Frequency of Step H
To check for Linearity at any Freq uency Point, incor por at e t he following formula -
(F/F Max X 16) + 4 = mA
Example: Assume Maximum Frequency Point = 2KHz (20mA Point) Check for Linearity at 750Hz
750/2000 = .375
16 X .375 = 6
6 + 4 = 10 DMM Should indicate 10.00mA at 750Hz
