Section 1 - Forward
This document provides technical information on wiring the Bristol Babcock line of
TeleFlow series products to an Invensys Auto-Adjust Turbo-Meter.
TeleFlow series (3530) units listed in Table 1-1 can be interconnected to an Invensys AutoAdjust Turbo-Meter. Interface requirements dictate the 3530 be equipped with at least two
Pulse (Counter) Inputs. The TeleFlow Plus (Model 3530-20B) is equipped with a TeleFlow
CPU Board and will require the use of a BBI Low Power I/O Expansion Board since the
CPU Board has only one Pulse Input. Units equipped with the TeleRTU CPU Board dont
require an additional Low Power I/O Expansion Board (unless an additional Pulse Input is
dictated) since the TeleRTU CPU Board is equipped with two Pulse Inputs.

Section 3 - Wiring
Recommended wiring is shown for connection of a Bristol Babcock Series 3530-XXX unit to
an AAT. Figures 2 through 5 are provided for 3530s equipped with a TeleFlow CPU Board,
i.e., 3530-10B, -20B and 50B. These units require the use of a Low Power I/O Expansion
Board. The Low Power I/O Expansion Board provides a second counter input for the Sensor
Rotor. Figures 6 through 9 are provided for 3530s that utilize the TeleRTU CPU Board, i.e.,
3530-15B, -25B, -35B and -45B. Figure 1 shows and edge view of the BBI 3530-XXX circuit
boards utilized to interface to an AAT.

BRISTOL BABCOCK APPLICATION NOTE

A control amplifier/barrier is required between the AAT and the 3530-XXX; the amplifier
model numbers shown (K numbers) in Figures 2 through 9 are for Pepprl+Fuchs devices.
Wiring diagrams are provided for the following 4 different types of amplifiers:
24 Vdc with Slot Sensor (SS)
24 Vdc with Blade Tip Sensor (BTS)
120 Vac with SS
120 Vac with BTS
The Blade tip configuration requires +12 VDC to the AAT sensors through a MTL715+
isolator made by MTL Instruments Inc.
The amplifier outputs are connected in emitter-follower mode i.e., the emitter of the
output transistor connects to the 3530-XXX counter input which has a 1000 ohm pull
down resistor to circuit common.
+12 Vdc for the amplifier output stage is supplied from the 3530-XXX CPU Board via an
Excitation (EXC) terminal. On the TeleRTU CPU Board, EXC is available from Pin #2 of
connectors P10, P11, P12 or P13. On the TeleFlow CPU Board, EXC is available from Pin
#7 of connector P14.

Section 4 - Software Configuration

In order to access data from the Invensys Auto-Adjust Turbo-Meter, you will need to
configure the AAT Module in your ACCOL Load. Full details on configuring the AAT
Module are included in the AAT section of the ACCOL II Reference Manual (document
D4044).
