Before starting to use this product, check the product specifications that can be found in this manual or the basic information from the datasheet at the company’s website www.Siargo.com. The detailed product technical specifications can be found in Section 7. For a specific application, the pressure rating must not be higher than the system pressure to be measured, and the flow range should also be within the specified ones.
Refer to Table 3.2 for cable connection. 5.4.1 Hardware connection The RS485 hardware layer is TIA/EIA-485-A, as illustrated below. In this configuration, the product (FS34100) is a slave. Figure 5.1: RS485 hardware 5.4.2 Communication parameters The PC UART communication parameters are listed in table 5.1.
Note: At the time of shipping, the write protection function is enabled except for address and baud rate. Once the user completes the register value change, the write protection will be automatically enabled once again to prevent incidental data loss. www.Siargo.com FS34100 User Manual 13 | P a g e...
