Programming Page 19/43 Digital Input Digital input lets you reset totalizers (Remote reset), interrupt flow measurement (PosZeroReturn) or ADE. Input switching is provided by applying an external potential of 5 to 30 VDC or by an internal voltage source of 24 VDC (Analog output if not used). Digital Outputs You can configure functional operation of the 2 digital outputs.

Programming Page 20/43 Digital Outputs Pulse Width This parameter establishes the “On” duration of the transmitted pulse. The configurable range ist from 0 msec to 2000 ms. If 0 ms is configured, pulse width is automatically adapted depending on pulse frequency (pulse/pause ratio 1:1). During the configuration the program checks if pulses/unit and pulse width are in accordance with full scale defined, if not an error alarm is displayed.
Programming Page 21/43 Output 1 /2 The Flow Max Set Point establishes as a percentage of full scale flow, the max. threshold at which the output alarm will be activated. Set Max You can freely select thresholds in 1% steps. Flow rates below/above the threshold will activate the output alarm.
