GENERAL DESCRIPTION The Apollo Intelligent 5 Amp AC Current Meter (IMH) accepts AC currents An optional integrator (totalizer)/linearizer can be used to totalize or integrate up to 5 amps and precisely scales them into engineering units with high signals up to a maximum display value of 999999. It features independent scaling resolution.
FIG. 1: BLOCK DIAGRAM Note: Analog (-) and Alarm common are separate and isolated from the signal common. The commons should NOT be tied together. Check label for wiring connections.
THEORY OF OPERATION FIGURE 2: SLOPE DIAGRAM The IMH employs a microprocessor to perform the A/D conversion on the input signal via a voltage-to-frequency converter. It digitally scales the result, corrects for meter drift which may be present and then displays the result in a 6-digit display (5 for input, 6 for totalizer).

The indicator will be ready to accept more scaling points (if more are desired) The sequence of entering display and signal values continues with “dSP 4”, “INP 4”, “dSP 5”, etc. until the number programmed for “SEGt” is reached. for multisegment linearization. The quantity and location of the linearization points should be chosen very carefully to best utilize the segments available.

PROGRAM NUMBER OF LINEAR SEGMENTS This programming step loads in the number of linear segments desired for multisegment linearization. If single slope scaling is desired, program “1” for this step. If two segments are desired, program “2”, etc. You must have one more scaling point known than the number of segments selected (ie.

MOTOR MONITORING EXAMPLE An IMH is employed to monitor AC current of a single-phase 10 horsepower 115V AC motor. Also, the meter will be used to total current for preventative maintenance purposes. Knowing the maximum full load current is 100 amps AC, a current transformer (CT) of 100:5 ratio is selected.
