Additionally, the PWE Flow Meter incorporates a Microcontroller driven circuitry
and non-volatile memory that stores all hardware specific variables. The flow rate
can be displayed in 29 different volumetric or mass flow engineering units. Flow
meter parameters and functions can be programmed remotely via the RS-232/RS-
485 interface or locally via optional LCD/KeyPad. PWE flow meters support vari-
ous functions including: two programmable flow totalizers, low, high or range flow
and temperature* alarms, 2 programmable optically isolated outputs, 0-5 Vdc / 4-
20 mA analog outputs (jumper selectable) for each process (flow and tempera-
ture*) variable, self diagnostic alarm. Optional local 2x16 LCD* readout with
adjustable back light provides flow rate, temperature*, total volume reading in cur-
rently selected engineering units, diagnostic events indication and feature a pass-
word protected access to the process parameters to ensure against tampering or
resetting.
