Signal Inputs

Flow meter input:

Basic types of flowmeter signals: Namur, Reed – switch, NPN, PNP and Sine wave (coil)

Signal outputs

Pulse outputs

• Function: Isolated, scaled pulse output according to accumulated total (e.g. a pulse every 3.25 gallons). Frequency: User definable: Off, Long (5Hz/100msec), Intermediate (33Hz/15ms). Type: One isolated solid-state output.

Analog outputs

• Function: Re-transmitting the flow rate – the output can be scaled to any range (e.g. 200 L/min to 1200 L/min). Type: One isolated 4 – 20mA output.

Supply

Power Supply

• A single 3,6V lithium AA battery
• 10 – 30V DC

Sensor Supply

• 8.2 V DC

Communication

Function: All process data and settings can be read and modified through the communication link.
Protocol: Modbus RTU.
Interface: RS485 2-wire.
HART communication is available with the F018 Flow rate Monitor / Totalizer.
