EXPLANATION OF SETUP-MENU 5 – FLOWMETER 3.3.6 The E018-P is not equipped with an automatic unit conversion feature. This means that different K-Factors for Total and Flowrate must be entered manually. This gives you the possibility to have absolute freedom in configuring the various measurement units to your needs.

Fig. 18: Terminal connections – Coil signal input Pulse-signal NPN / NPN-LP The E018-P is suitable for use with flowmeters which have a NPN output signal. For reliable pulse detection, the signal should be above 1.4V or below 1.0V under all circumstances. It is advised to use a sensor which is normally open and is closed for a small time (less power consumption).

Page 36 Pulse-signal PNP / PNP-LP The E018-P is suitable for use with flowmeters which have a PNP output signal. 3.0V is offered on terminal S3 which has to be switched by the sensor to terminal S2 (SIGNAL). For reliable pulse detection, the signal should be above 1.4V or below 1.0V under all circumstances.
