Flowmax 3. Commissioning 3.2.4 General Adjustment Reset Counter The volume counter of Flowmax 44i can be reset. Example of operation see appendix. Important! Once reset, counter values cannot be restored. After a reset the counter works IMPORTANT! normally. Hysteresis The limit values can be provided with a hysteresis. - Page 20 The pulse value determines the flow volumes for which an output pulse will be emitted. Choose a configuration which will neither exceed the maximum output frequency of the Flowmax 44i (10kHz) nor the maximum input frequency of the control. If the maximum frequency is exceeded the Flowmax 44i will not output pulses correctly.
