The following is an example of Pulse settings applied to Flow Rate:

Pulse Output: Flow Rate

(Default setting, based on 8” schedule 40 pipe)

Min Flow: 513.575 gal/m

Max Flow: 5135.751 gal/m

Pulse Output: Flow Rate

Multiplier: 100

Pulse Width: 1 ms

Low cutoff: 0% or 513.5 gal/m (no cutoff)

Min Pulses: 5.136 Pulses per second

Max Pulses: 51.357 Pulses per second

In the above example, the Pulse output frequency indicates the flow
rate in gallons per minute, divided by 100. The output will therefore
vary between 5.136 and 51.357 PPS (Hz), based on the Flow Rate
reading.

The following is an example of Pulse settings applied to Total Flow:

Output: Total Flow

Flow Rate: 400 gal/min
Pulse Output: Totalizer

Multiplier: 10

Pulse Width: 1 ms

Low cutoff: 0% or 270.1 gal/m (no cutoff)

In the above example, Pulse output would be 400 gpm / 10 = 40
pulses per minute.

The following is an example of Pulse settings applied to Gas Volume
Fraction:

Pulse Output: GVF

Multiplier: 1

Pulse Width: 1ms

Low cutoff: 0.000%

Min Pulses: 0 Pulses per second

Max Pulses: 100 Pulses per second

In the above example, the Pulse output frequency will vary between 0
and 100PPS (Hz), corresponding to 0 to 100% GVF.
