Pulse Speed
The Signalizer's pulse speed can be set to accommodate preferred SCADA or BMS system settings.
Set DIP switch (8) to OFF for Normal Speed (8
respective register digit changes, a pulse is generated.
Encoder Resolution
The Signalizer can be set to accommodate the appropriate encoder resolution for the respective C&I
MACH 10 meter size. The following settings are recommended for an 8-digit resolution on a
C&I MACH 10:
U.S Gallons
For sizes 3" and 4", set DIP Switches (9-12) all to OFF for a register resolution of (x1).
•
For sizes 6" to 12", set DIP Switch (9) to ON and (10-12) to OFF for a register resolution of (x10).
•
Cubic Feet
For sizes 3" and 4", set DIP Switches (11) to ON and (9-10, 12) to OFF for a register resolution of
•
(x0.1) in Cubic Feet.
For sizes 6" to 12", set DIP Switches (9-12) all to OFF for a register resolution of (x1) in
•
Cubic Feet.
Cubic Metres
For sizes 3" and 4", set DIP Switches (9,11) to ON and (10,12) to OFF for a register resolution of
•
(x0.01) in Cubic Metres.
For sizes 6" to 12", set DIP Switches (11) to ON and (9-10, 12) to OFF for a register resolution of
•
(x0.1) in Cubic Metres.
20mA Flow Rate
The Signalizer can be set to match or closely match the maximum operating flow of each size meter.
The Signalizer's maximum flow options range from 20 gpm to 18,000 gpm. Refer to the DIP Settings
reference at end of this document or on the product label to see maximum flow rate options. See
the 20mA Flow Rate Row in Table 4 above to select the option that best suits your application based
on the C&I MACH 10's size and respective maximum flow rate.
Sampling Period vs. Battery Life Expectancy
The C&I MACH 10's expected battery life of 10 years is based
on the meter's typical operational parameters as well as
providing AMR/AMI readings every 15 minutes.
When operating in conjunction with The Signalizer, setting the
output module's sampling period at too frequent of a rate can
result in a less-than-expected battery life. Therefore it is highly
recommended to set the Signalizer sampling period between
300 seconds and 900 seconds when connecting The Signalizer
to a C&I MACH 10 meter.
Sampling periods below 300 seconds will result in the C&I MACH 10 battery having a life expectancy
less than 10 years and will impact the meter's battery warranty. Note: Applying power to the Signalizer
output module does not provide additional power to the meter or prevent battery degradation.
