Page 16: Fig. 12: Function Of The Creeping Suppression Illustrated With 0.6 L/Min
® Flowmax 3. Commissioning Creeping suppression The creeping suppression excludes flow measurements that result from convection in a narrow band around zero, even with a closed valve. At the factory, the creeping suppression is set at a standard value in relation to the cross-section of the flowmeter. - Page 17 Pulse value This section determines the output settings for pulsed outputs. Choose configuration such as to neither exceed the maximum output frequency of the Flowmax 44i (10kHz) nor the maximum input frequency of the control. Example: 2.0 ml/Pulse This means: a pulse is emitted every 2.0 ml.
