12. Dosing function

The standard FM100 provides a simple dosing function. This can be permanently
activated or deactivated in the settings menu under the menu item "dosing". If the
dosing function is activated, fixed functions are assigned to the 2 outputs which
cannot be changed as long as the dosing function is activated:
OUT2 (Pin 2):
OUT1 (Pin 4):
Attention!
If the control input is not used, then OUT1 (connection pin 4) must be
connected to PIN3 (GND), the control input must not be left open!
When using the dosing function, it is recommended to set the flow
parameter "Separation" (Cutoff) to the value "0.0" in order to achieve the
most accurate results possible (factory setting: start of measuring range).
If the dosing function is deactivated, both outputs are switched to OFF
(deactivated) by default, but can then be freely configured again.
In the main display of the dosing function, the quantity to be dosed in a
preselectable unit and the current flow value are displayed on the one hand. The
progress of the dosing process is additionally represented by a graphic animation
in which the container shown fills in percent and also overfill is shown.
Softkey buttons: All softkey buttons in dosing mode must be held down by the
user for at least 2 seconds and then released again for the corresponding
function to be triggered. This is to avoid accidental operation.
