It is strongly recommended not to install OS418 permanently in wet air/gas conditions, which exists usually right after a compressor outlet. 8.2 LED Indicators The OS418 provides four LED indicators on the display panel, which indicate the status of the data logger, display, and wireless connection separately. Function...
5 m cable with a M8 connector on one side and open wires on the other side. To operate the OS418, one cable connection is sufficient. However, if the pulse output is to be used or the supply and signal should be on separate cables, a second connection cable must be ordered.

4-byte 9.3.2 Connect Several OS418 to Modbus Master The OS418 with Modbus/RTU interface can be easily daisy-chained to a Modbus Master device. This master can be either the company's displays and gateways or any third-party Modbus/RTU master. Through this method you can add up to 16 flow meters to the master device.

At the end of the bus, a 120 Ohm resistor should be placed a termination resistor. See the below picture for details. Create Daisy-Chain using RS-485 Splitter To connect the OS418 to the daisy-chain, the RS-485 splitter and the M8 to M12 converter cable are needed.

Furthermore, place a M12 termination resistor at the last splitter in the daisy- chain, as show in the figure below. Remark: The OS331 can maximum provide 10 W power to the connected devices. If more power is required a separate power supply is needed. Topology of Modbus/RTU Daisy-Chain The recommended bus topology is to connect devices as a daisy-chain, as shown in the figure in section 9.3.2.1 Modbus/RTU Cable Length.

Contact manufacturer in case you are not familiar with the settings. Read and Analysis of Measurement Data The OS418 embeds the data logger to record the measured data. You can use the S4A, the free data analysis software to read and analyze the data. 15.1 Data Logger Before you use the data logger, learn about how it works: •...
• The OS418 log file supports up to 5.6 million records due to its memory size, which is equivalent to 64-day data at the one-second sampling rate. When the OS418 runs out of memory, the new record will replace the •...
5. Click Read, read out data records logged during a time period that you specify. Click the File menu to have graphic views on measurement data in a log file; and if needed, to export this log file to the Excel or CSV format. For more information about operations on OS4A, click the Help button on the top right corner.
