Page 16: Menu 6 - Analog Output
Page 16 3.3.7 MENU 6 - ANALOG OUTPUT A linear 4-20 mA signal (option AB: 0-20 mA or option AU: 0-10 V) output signal is generated that represents the flow rate. The settings for the flow rate influence the analog output directly. The relationship between the flow rate and the analog output is set with the following settings. -
Page 17: Menu 7 - Pulse Output
Page 17 FILTER This setting is used to stabilize the output signal. With the help of this digital filter a more stable but less actual representation of the flow rate can be obtained. The filter principle is based on three input values: the filter level (01-99), the last calculated flow rate and the last average value. -
