In this application, the ICM7249 is configured as an hours-in-use meter that displays the total number of whole hours of line voltage applied. The 20-MD resistor and high-pass filtering enable AC line activation of the SIS input. This configuration, powered by a 3-V lithium cell, is designed to operate continuously for approximately 2.5 years. Without the display, which only needs to be connected when a reading is required, the operational lifespan can be extended to 10 years.
The ICM7249 serves as a reliable hours-in-use meter, specifically designed to track and display the duration of line voltage application. The circuit employs a 20-MD resistor in conjunction with a high-pass filter, which allows for the effective activation of the SIS (System Input Signal) input via the AC line. This configuration is particularly advantageous in applications where monitoring the usage time of electrical devices is essential, such as in industrial settings or equipment maintenance.
The powering of the ICM7249 is facilitated by a 3-V lithium cell, providing a compact and efficient energy source. The design ensures that the meter can operate continuously for about 2.5 years under normal conditions, making it suitable for long-term monitoring applications. Furthermore, the operational lifespan can be significantly increased to 10 years when the display is only connected during reading sessions, thus conserving energy and extending the life of the battery.
This hours-in-use meter can be integrated into various electronic systems where tracking usage time is critical. The ability to activate the SIS input through the AC line enhances the meter's functionality, allowing it to respond to voltage changes and provide accurate readings. The high-pass filter plays a crucial role in this process by eliminating low-frequency noise, ensuring that only relevant signals are processed.
Overall, the ICM7249 configuration represents an efficient and effective solution for monitoring hours of operation in electrical systems, combining longevity, reliability, and ease of use in a single package.In this application, the ICM7249 is configured as an hours-in-use meter and shows how many whole hours of line voltage have been applied. The 20-MD resistor and high-pass filtering allow ac line activation of the SIS input. This configuration, which is powered by a 3-V lithium cell, will operate continuously for 21/z years.
Without the display, which only needs to be connected when a reading is required, the span of operation is extended to 10 years. 🔗 External reference
