ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS OPERATING PRINCIPLE Instrument cable Twisted pair low capacitance shielded instrument cable 7 x 0.3mm (0.5mm²) The Multipulse flow meter utilises the oscillating piston principle, where the should be used for electrical connection between the flow meter and the remote passage of liquid causes a piston to oscillate smoothly in a circular motion instrumentation.

The Multipulse positive displacement flow meter does not require any flow Meters fitted with the QP output option (quadrature pulse output) may be conditioning, therefore straight runs of pipe before and after the flow meter are interfaced with the Trimec Pulse Discriminator Module (PD1) to separate not necessary.
