ST100A Series Flow Meter INSTALLATION
Fluid Components International LLC 33
External 4-20 mA Input
ST100A Series, except STP model instruments, come with a 4-20 mA input on Phoenix connector J9. Refer to Figure 28. Connect the
external current loop input to J9-5 (IN) and J9-6 (RTN/GND). The 4-20 mA input is used for extended operation mode functions:
● External ST100A Series Flow Input
● External Control Group Switching
Refer to Extended Operation Modes, page 84 (OPERATION section) for extended operation mode details.
Pressure Input (STP1xx Models Only)
The pressure-capable STP model instruments come with a pressure input on Phoenix connector J9. Refer to Figure 28. Connect the
pressure input to J9-4 (+) and J9-5 (-).
Service Port Connection, USB & Ethernet
The instrument’s service port provides in-depth programming of instrument settings using a PC. See Figure 31 below. For a simple local
service port connection, use the USB port. Refer to Configuring the ST100A Series, page 35 for further information on service port use.
● USB 2.0 – USB Type B connector J21 on the main board (for local connection of PC to the instrument)
● Ethernet (100Base-T/Fast Ethernet) – modular RJ-45 jack J5 on the auxiliary board (for remote connection of PC to the instrument
via an Ethernet network hub or switch)
