U J Cautionary Notes on Communications

Observe the following notes and limit at Jo ns when you use the coifiTnunicaiioRS function.

■ C u rrent out |j ut ] oad

Load resistance: 240 to L kU (including communicutions line resistance)

Load capacitance: 0.22/«F maxiinum (including communications line capachaace)

Load inductance: 4mTT maximum (iiicJuduig communications line inductance)

Cahic

length:

2 km inaximuin (approximate value when

[ . 2 5

mm'shielded cable

is used under i^tandarJ operating conditions.)

■ Wiring cable

Use a shielded output cable as specified in Table 5T.

■ Interference on 4-2QmA current signal

To communicate with the flowmeter^ a digital signal (amplitude 0,4 to 0.8 V in the case of

500 Q load resistance) wdth a frequency of 1,2 to 2,2 kHz is superimposed on the 4-20mA

current signal. If

a

high-response receiving instrument is connected to the current output line,

!he superimposed communications signal may interfere with the Instrument, To preveni this

interference, put a low'-pass filter with a time constant of about 100 ms into the input circuit of

the receiving instrument.
