Page 40: How To Use Pulse Output
TF1100-EC/EI Manual 7.9 HOW TO USE PULSE OUTPUT Each unit flow detected by the ultrasonic flowmeter generates a cumulative pulse and outputs it to an external pulse counter device. Pulse output is only for Totalizer Output, and it can only be output through OCT or relays. So it is necessary to set the OCT or relay accordingly in the flow meter menu. - Page 41 TF1100-EC/EI Manual numbers from 00.0~99.9 in the TF1100. 00.0 represents no signal detected while 99.9 represent maximum signal strength. Normally, the stronger the signal strength detected, the instrument will work more reliably, as well as the more stable the measurement value obtained. Adjust the transducer to the best position and check to ensure that enough sonic coupling compounds is applied adequately during installation in order to obtain the maximum signal strength.

Page 42: Part-8 Frequently Asked Questions And Answers
TF1100-EC/EI Manual attention to those pipes that formed by steel rolls (pipe with seams), since such pipe is always irregular. If the signal strength is always displayed as 0.00, that means there is no signal detected. Thus, it is necessary to check that the parameters (including all the pipe parameters) have been entered accurately. -
