  • Page 98 Pulse Counter sensor The pulse counter is available on the SP+ platform, as of firmware version 1.0.4967. It provides: - accumulated pulse count - flow conversion of the pulse count It can measure up to 1000 pulses / sec (1 Kilohertz). Normally this sensor should be used with some external sensor which outputs pulses.
  • Page 99 For example, you can connect the output of a third-party water flow sensor in the market to our sensor port. The specs of those sensors will indicate how many pulses equal to, for example 1 liter: 100 pulses = 1 Liter. Then you can set the "Number of Pulses per Unit"...
  • Page 100 In the Flow Sensor there is "Number of Pulse per Unit" in the config. You can use this value to adjust the sensor reading to match the real-world value. Dry contact will also work but only to count the pulses. If you want to test for the rate accuracy, you'd have to test with something that can generate a wave signal, like using an oscilloscope to generate wave form and plug it to the sensor port.
