POWER SUPPLY ANLG PULSE+ PULSE- PCA180 AC Power (100-240 VAC) AC power for CAT2 requires an optional circuit board, PCA182. The Alarm option (PCA184) is not available when the AC Power option is equipped. SIG+ SIG- ANLG PULSE+ PULSE- PCA180...
Installation 3.2. Flowmeter Input The Preamp circuitry for conditioning the flow signal is located on PCA180. The following drawings illustrate typical connections and switch settings on PCA180 for various input signals. Magnetic Pickup Coil SIG+ SIG- ANLG PULSE+ PULSE- PCA180 Mag Pickup Coil MCP/RF Coil SIG+...
3.3. Pulse Output The pulse output circuitry for CAT2 is located on PCA180. The pulse output is scalable by a factor of 1, 2, 4, 8, 16 and 32 of the input frequency by selecting the proper switch on SW2. Scaling of the pulse output may be limited if an analog output is used in conjunction with the pulse output.

COURSE SPAN and FINE SPAN adjusts the max flow output. All pots are labeled accordingly on the circuit board and may be accessed by removing the top plate from CAT2. The 0-20mA, 0-5V and 0-10V options require no ZERO adjustment. Contact the factory for detailed calibration instructions before making any adjustments.
Installation 3.5. Alarm Outputs CAT2 provides an optional High/Low Flow Alarm feature. The Alarms require an optional circuit board, PCA184. The Alarm option is not available when the AC Power option is equipped. The following drawings illustrate typical connections and switch settings for various alarm output options.
When installing CAT2, it is a good practice to use shielded cables for all input and output signals. The shield should be connected to the earth ground lug on the CAT2. The shield on the opposite end of the cable should be left open.
