    • Baud rate 9600, 8, E,1 • An RS 485 to USB adapter can be purchased from SWR. ✔ For the RS 232 connection to the DIN rail version, a special cable and USB converter are supplied. USB uses a standard USB-A-B cable.
  • Page 19 Operating Instructions The edited data is transmitted to the transmitter via “Device program”. Critical data concerning the ModBus communication and the calibration must be confirmed before the parameters are transmitted to the transmitter: ✔ If, when saving the the parameters in the transmitter, the system calibration data is changed, this action must be confirmed by checking “Overwrite calibration”.

  • Page 20: One Or More Sensor System

    Operating Instructions 6.4 One or more sensor system Up to three sensors can be connected to a transmitter if, for example, a larger flow section needs to be illuminated. In the transmitter, the corresponding number of sensors will then be registered and a joint average value will be calculated from their measurements.
