6.3.2 Quick Setup "Pulsating Flow"
!
Note!
The "Pulsating flow" Quick Setup is only available if the device has a current output or a pulse/
frequency output.
Certain types of pump such as reciprocating, peristaltic and cam-type pumps, for example,
create a flow characterized by severe periodic fluctuations . Negative flows can occur with
pumps of these types on account of the closing volume of the valves or valve leaks.
!
Note!
Before carrying out the Quick Setup "Pulsating flow" the Quick Setup "Commissioning" has to
be executed.→ 85

Severely pulsating flow
Once several device functions have been configured in the "Pulsating flow" Quick Setup menu,
flow fluctuations of this nature can be compensated over the entire flow range and pulsating
liquid flows measured correctly. Below you will find detailed instructions on how to use this
Quick Setup menu.
!
Note!
It is always advisable to work through the "Pulsating flow" Quick Setup menu if there is any
uncertainty about the exact flow characteristic.
Slightly pulsating flow
If flow fluctuations are no more than minor, as is the case, for example with gear-type,
three-cylinder or multi-cylinder pumps, it is not absolutely necessary to work through the
Quick Setup menu.
In cases of this nature, however, it is advisable to adapt the functions listed below in the
function matrix (see the "Description of Device Functions" manual) to suit local process
conditions in order to ensure a stable, unvarying output signal:
• Measuring system damping: "FLOW DAMPING" function increase the value
• Current output damping: "TIME CONSTANT" function increase the value
