2.4.9. RELATIVE DENSITY TRANSDUCER INPUT
The relative density meter input to the Model 2000 is for a high frequency periodic type meter. It uses the same type of input
as would be configured for a turbine pulse inputs and this is of the form of one periodic input signal with the following
parameters.
Current input: 10mA.
Frequency range: Up to 5kHz.
The basic equations used for calculation of the Relative density from this type of input is as follows:-
