Pulsar Process Measurement Limited. Power Supply Requirements The Flow Monitor can operate from AC supply or from a DC battery. The AC is 85 – 264V, 50/60Hz. The DC is 22 - 28V. In all cases the Flow Monitor will typically consume 8W of power, with a maximum of 10W. -
Page 12: Dimensions
Dimensions The dimensions of the mounting holes are as shown below. The Flow Monitor should be mounted by drilling four holes suitable for size 8 screws (length and type to suit your application) And fix all four screws by removing the top cover to access the pre-moulded mounting holes which are located in the base of the enclosure under the lid retaining screws. -
Page 13: Cable Entry
The full dimensions of the enclosure are as shown below. Cable Entry There are 3 x M20 cable glands, suitable for 6 – 12mm cables, fitted to the base of the Flow Monitor enclosure. Important Information All cable glands should be tightened to the manufacturer’s specifications. -

Page 18: Operating The Controls
Operating the Controls Display Whilst in the Run Mode it will display the current flow or velocity reading and its units of measurement, along with the mA output and status messages with regards to the communication status and Fail Safe Mode. When in Program mode, the display is used to read information on the menu system, the parameter number and parameter details and values, which can be entered. -

Run Mode. Pressing the hot key once will display the first parameter, then repeated pressing will display the others, then the Flow Monitor reverts to Run Mode. In program mode, they have different functions, the functions are shown below. - Page 20 Menu Keys The menu keys are used to navigate around the built in menu system and have the following functions: Menu Key Function 1) Arrow keys for moving left and right around the menu system. 2) Used in test mode to simulate the flow or velocity moving up and down.
-
Page 21: Run Mode
All modes are now described. Run Mode This mode is used once the Flow Monitor has been set up in program mode. It is also the default mode that the unit reverts to when it resumes operation after a power failure. -
Page 22: Program Mode
Program Mode This mode is used to set up the Flow Monitor or change information already set. You must use either the on-board keypad (standard) or alternatively the unit can be set up with a Hand Held Calibrator (optional), which must be connected to the Flow Monitor via the RS 232 Serial Interface. - Page 23 When you have finished, press CANCEL to go back to the previous level. When you have reached the top level, then the Flow Monitor will ask for confirmation before allowing you to go back into run mode. This is done by pressing ENTER at the display prompt.
-
Page 24: Test Mode
Test Mode Test mode is used to simulate the application and confirm that all parameters and relay setpoints have been entered as expected. During simulation, there is a choice of whether the relays will change state (hard simulation) or not (soft simulation), but the LED’s will always change state to indicate that the relay setpoints have been activated, and the mA output will change. -

Page 34: Application Parameters
Parameter Listing This section describes all of the parameters. Any parameter can be reset to its default, by pressing the hot key, whilst in program mode. Application Parameters Operation P102 Mag Threshold This parameter sets the sensitivity of FlowPulse sensor. The Mag Threshold value sets the required level of signal above the minimum signal before the FlowPulse decides it is seeing flow. - Page 35 E.g. if the parameter is set to 2300, then the corresponding flow index would be 100. The Flow Pulse via the Flow Monitor will not report any flow unless the flow indicator exceeds 100 on the flow index.
- Page 36 P128 TrackThrAdd This is only activated when noise floor is raised, such that the noise floor is more than P111 away from the normal floor without flow. This causes the flow to be tracked at a lower flow index so that compensation can be applied.

Page 49: Trim
Trim P838 Output Low Trim If the device you are connected to is not calibrated, and not showing the low value, then you can trim it using this parameter. You can either type in the offset directly or use the arrow keys to move the output up and down until you get the expected result on the device that is connected. -
Page 50: Totaliser Parameters
Totaliser Parameters Setup P822 Totaliser Enable This parameter determines if the totaliser is enabled or not, the options are as follows: Option Description 0 = No (Default) Totaliser is disabled 1 = Yes Totaliser enabled P823 Totaliser Decimal This parameter determines the number of decimal places in the totaliser during run mode. -
Page 51: Totalisers
P825 Totaliser Log Time This parameter sets the time at which the totalisers are stored in non-volatile memories Default = 00:00 Totalisers P820 System Totaliser Displays the current value of the, non-resettable totaliser. During run mode this totaliser can be viewed via the “Totaliser” hot key.
