The wire screens shall be terminated at one side to prevent wire loops. Inside of the Fluidwell unit, the different common ground terminals are connected to each other. It is advised, as illustrated, to terminate the wire screens in the vicinity of the sensor and to insulated the wire screen with a shrink tube at the Fluidwell unit side.
Within the United States all field wiring must conform to the National Electric Code, NFPA 70, Article 501-4(b). All field wiring enters the F018-P through the bottom of the enclosure and connects to the circuit assembly inside the enclosure. Wiring is routed through cable glands. Please make sure to order the F018-P with the correct drilling pattern and thread (metal) or hole (plastic) sizes.

An internal power supply is also available in the form of a lithium battery. When both external and internal power supplies are available, the internal power supply is interrupted and will act as a backup supply.
4.6.1 TERMINALS 1-3: FLOWMETER INPUT Three basic types of flowmeter signals can be connected to the F018-P: pulse, active pulse or coil. The screen of the signal wire can be connected to the common ground terminal. See paragraph 4.5. The input signal type has to be selected with the correct SETUP-function (read chapter 3.3.2).
Page 31 Pulse-signal PNP / PNP-LP The F018-P is suitable for use with flowmeters which have a PNP output signal. Terminal 3 offers 3.2V which has to be switched by the sensor to terminal 2 (SIGNAL). For a reliable pulse detection, the pulse amplitude has to go above 1.2V.
TERMINAL 4-5: POWER SUPPLY - TYPE PX (DEFAULT) AND PD (OPTION) To power the F018-P an internal battery can be used (type PB) and / or an external DC power supply of 8-30V DC (type PX) or 16-30V DC (type PD).
