Frequency Output Connections; Optional Backlight Connection - GE PanaFlow MV80 User Manual

2.5.4 Frequency Output Connections

The frequency output is used for a remote counter. It can be scaled to output a 1 to 10 kHz signal proportional to mass
or volume flow, temperature, pressure or density.
The frequency output requires a separate 5 to 36 VDC power supply (see Figure 24 or Figure 25 below). In addition,
there are current and power specifications that must be observed. The output can conduct a current up to 40 mA and it
can dissipate up to 200 mW of power. The output is isolated from the meter electronics and power supply.

2.5.5 Optional Backlight Connection

The loop power meter has an optional backlight connection provided. It is intended to be powered by either a separate
12 to 36 VDC @ 35 mA maximum power supply or by the same power supply used for the pulse output. Both options
are shown in Figure 26 below.
