0-2147483647 ( int32 ) Pulse counter The YO Meter Pulse input accepts connection to potential-free contacts. The device will not count pulses if the input is connected to contacts with any potential. Device input can detect pulses with different contact debounce times. This parameter is configurable and by default is 47 ms – up to max.
YO Meter Pulse User guide v1.2 page 8/27 Periodic counter counts pulses cyclically with time interval defined by LoRa sending interval. The periodic counter counts the pulses within the time interval specified by the measurement interval parameter which also specifies the time at which a LoRaWAN data payload is sent.
YO Meter Pulse User guide v1.2 page 9/27 Battery condition Battery voltage is used to monitor its condition – to spot anomalies (like sudden drop) or its current condition based on voltage drop over time in comparison to initial voltage rating.
YO Meter Pulse User guide v1.2 page 10/27 Installation Package contents Device (without batteries). Warranty card. PG7 cable gland cap. Safety precautions SAFETY PRECAUTIONS SYMBOL DESCRIPTION Device is marked with a symbol saying that electrical and electronic products may not be mixed with unsorted household waste.
