Digital output 41 / 42, 51 / 52 (basic device) 
Can be configured as pulse, frequency or binary output via on-
site software.

Note 
•  Terminals 42 / 52 have common grounding. Digital outputs 
41 / 42 and 51 / 52 are not electrically isolated from each 
other. An electrically isolated digital output can be made 
using a plug-in module. 
•  If using a mechanical counter, it is advisable to set a pulse 
width of ≥ 30 ms and a maximum frequency of f
max
 ≤ 3 kHz. 
 
 
 
 
 
Current output V1 / V2, V3 / V4 (plug-in module) 
Up to two additional plug-in modules can be implemented via 
the ‘Passive current output (red)’ option module.  
Can be configured for outputting mass flow, volume flow, 
density and temperature via on-site software.
