The MM7501 is used, together with a counter, to integrate or totalize flow and other signals. Its output is a pulse rate proportional to a DC input. When totalized on a counter, the pulses indicate the total flow or other quantity being measured.
Typical input ranges are 4/20 mA, 10/ 50 mA, 0-1 V, 0-5 V, and 0-10 VDC. Other ranges are available down to minimum spans of 1 V or 1 mA DC. The MM7501 includes a frequency scaler (binary pulse rate divider) which, together with wide-ranging zero and span controls, provides a 4096:1 range of output pulse rate adjustment. This allows the output to be scaled in engineering units (one pulse equals 1,000 gallons, for example). The output may be an spdt relay, a voltage pulse suitable for driving a 12 V electromechanical counter or an open collector output. An integrating DC to frequency converter generates the basic pulse rate.
All Wilkerson products are designed with RFI filters and lightning protection to reduce susceptibility to electrical noise and damage by lightning.
TYPICAL APPLICATIONS
