16.4 Activation of a binary output as a pulse output
A pulse output is an integrating output which emits a pulse when the volume or the mass of the fluid which has passed the
measuring point reaches a given value (Pulse Value). The integrated quantity is the selected physical quantity. Integra-
tion is restarted as soon as a pulse is emitted.
The max. flow that the pulse output can work with will be displayed now. This value is calculated on the basis of the en-
tered pulse value and pulse width.
If the flow exceeds this value, the pulse output does not work correctly. In this case, the pulse value has to be increased
Press ENTER.
16.5 Activation of a binary output as an alarm output
A max. of 3 independently operating alarm outputs R1, R2, R3 can be configured per channel. The alarm outputs can be
used to output information on the current measurement or to start and stop pumps, motors, etc.
16.5.1 Alarm properties
The switching condition, the holding behavior and the switching function of an alarm output can be defined.
Press key and to select a scroll list in the upper line. Press key and to select a list item in the lower line.
Note! The menu item Pulse Output will only be indicated in the program branch Output Options if a
pulse output has been installed.
Select the channel for which a pulse output is be activated in the program branch Output
Options. Press ENTER.
This display will not be indicated if the transmitter has only one measuring channel.
Press ENTER until the menu item Pulse Output is displayed.
Select yes to activate the output. Press ENTER.
This error message will be displayed if the flow velocity is selected as the physical quantity.
The use of the pulse output is not possible in this case because the integration of the flow
velocity does not result in a reasonable value.
Enter the pulse value. The unit of measurement will be displayed according to the actual
physical quantity.
When the counted physical quantity reaches the entered pulse value, a pulse will be trans-
mitted.
Enter the pulse width.
The range of possible pulse widths depends on the specification of the instrument (e.g.,
counter, PLC) that is to be connected to the output.
Note! The menu item Alarm Output will only be displayed in the program branch Output Options if an
alarm output has been installed.
Select in the program branch Output Options the channel for which an alarm output is
to be activated. Press ENTER until the menu item Alarm Output is displayed.
This display will not be indicated if the transmitter has only one measuring channel.
Press ENTER until the menu item Alarm Output is displayed.
Select yes to activate the alarm output. Press ENTER.
