Flow Simulation
S
Flow Simulation provides output simulation based on a percentage of the full scale flow . Simulation
will not accumulate the totalizers . The range of simulation includes –100…100% of the full scale flow .
The Flow Simulation Parameter lets you set the range of simulation in increments of 50 (OFF, 0, 50, 100,
-50, -100) . The factory default is OFF .
Digital Input
S
• Digital input lets you reset totalizers or interrupt flow measurement .
• Input switching is provided by applying an external voltage of 3…35V DC .
• Use a “normally open” contact for operating .

Pulse/Unit
S
This parameter lets you set how many pulses per unit of measure will be
transmitted to remote applications . For example, assuming the unit of measure
is gallons:
• Setting the Pulses/Unit to 1 (standard setting) will transmit 1 pulse
every gallon
• Setting the Pulses/Unit to 0 .01 will transmit 1 pulse every 100 gallons
You must configure pulses/unit if the function of the selected output is to be
forward or reverse .
This parameter must be considered with the Pulse Width and Full Scale Flow
parameters . The maximum pulse frequency is 100 Hz . The frequency is correlated
with the flow rate . Violation of output frequency limits will generate a PULSE_
OVERLOAD_WARNING .
Width
S
This parameter establishes the ON duration of the transmitted pulse . The
configurable range is 0…500 ms . The factory default is 0 ms .
• Non-zero pulse width configuration – the OFF duration of the transmitted
pulse is dependent on flow rate . The OFF duration is to be at least the
configured ON duration . At full scale flow, the ON duration equals the Off
duration . The maximum configurable output frequency is limited to 100 Hz .
• The duty cycle of the transmitted pulse is at 50% of the output frequencies
greater than 1 Hz .
This parameter must be considered with the Pulses/Unit and Full Scale Flow
parameters . The maximum pulse frequency is 100 Hz . The frequency is correlated
with the flow rate . Violation of output frequency limits will generate a PULSE_
OVERLOAD_WARNING .
Power
Line Frequency
S
This parameter provides measuring immunity to industrial noise from a power
supply feed .
This parameter should be set to your nominal line frequency, typically 50 Hz .
