Low flow cut-off
Fig. 37: Behavior of the current output
1 Low flow
The current output behaves as shown in the figure.
Above the low flow, the current curve proceeds as a straight
line in accordance with the flow rate.
— Flow rate = 0, current output = 4 mA
— Flow rate = Q
max
, current output = 20 mA
If the low flow cut-off is activated, flow rates below the low
flow are set to 0 and the current output set to 4 mA.
Analog input 4 ... 20 mA
Only for devices with HART communication.
A remote transmitter with current output 4 ... 20 mA can be
connected to the analog input:
— Pressure transmitter e.g. ABB model 261 / 266
— Temperature transmitter
— Gas analyzer for the net methane content of biogas
— Density meter or mass meter for a density signal
The analog input can be configured using the relevant
software:
— Input for the pressure measurement for pressure
compensation for the flow measurement of gases and
vapor.
— Input for the return temperature measurement for energy
measurement.
— Input for the net methane content of biogas.
— Input for the density measurement for calculation of the
mass flow.
