3.8.5 Setting the Flow Output Variables
The Flow Output variables determine how the output sig-
nals reflect the compensated flow. The Flow Output sub-
menu is the same no matter which computation or hard-
ware selection you have previously selected.
Notes:
It is not necessary to setup the Flow Output if it is not
required. If setup, the analog out terminal must be con-
nected to a loop to avoid alarm relay from activating.

Flow Output?
Min flow (4mA):
sented by the 4 mA end of the 4 to 20 mA output.
Max flow (20mA :
sented by the 20 mA end of the 4 to 20 mA output.
4-20 mA Example: 4 mA = 10; 20 mA = 1000;
The Flow Computer will sink 4 mA from a flow rate of 0 to 10. Then
it will linearly ramp up to 20 mA; as the flow increases to 1000 (The
current will clamp at 20mA even though the flow may exceed 1000,
until the flow drops back into the active range.)
Digital pulse out Scaling:
Based on the flow totalizer, this factor multiplies the incremental
counts of the totalized flow and gives a pulse out as required. For
example: A factor of 0.1 puts one pulse out for every 10 increments of
the flow totalizer (0.1 x 10 = 1).
