assigned, a PULSE INPUT 1(4) ALARM message will also be displayed. The units in this 
setpoint are determined by the 
S2 SYSTEM SETUP ÖØ PULSE INPUT ÖØ PULSE INPUT UNITS 
setpoint.
• PULSE INPUT 1(4) DELAY: This setpoint can be used to allow a time delay before the 
assigned relay will energize after the 
PULSE INPUT 1(4) LEVEL has been equaled or 
exceeded.
• TOTALIZED PULSES RELAY: A relay can be selected to operate based upon a Total 
Pulse Input Count as configured in the PQMII. Selecting “Alarm” activates the alarm 
relay and displays an alarm message whenever a pulse count level equals or exceeds 
the selected level. Selecting “Aux1”, “Aux2”, or “Aux3” activates the appropriate 
auxiliary relay but no message will be displayed. The “Aux1”, “Aux2”, and “Aux3” 
selections are intended for process control.
• TOTAL PULSES LEVEL: When the pulse input value accumulated in the 
A1 METERING 
ÖØ PULSE COUNTER ÖØ PULSE INPUT 1+2+3+4
 actual value exceeds this setpoint value, 
the relay assigned in the 
TOTALIZED PULSES RELAY will energize. If the “Alarm” relay is 
assigned, a 
TOTALIZED PULSES ALARM message will also be displayed. The units in this 
setpoint are determined by the 
S2 SYSTEM SETUP ÖØ PULSE INPUT ÖØ PULSE INPUT UNITS 
setpoint.
• TOTALIZED PULSES DELAY: This setpoint can be used to allow a time delay before the 
assigned relay will energize after the 
TOTAL PULSES LEVEL has been equaled or exceeded.

PATH: SETPOINTS ÖØ S4 ALARMS/CONTROL ÖØ TIME
The time function is useful where a general purpose time alarm is required or a process is 
required to start and stop each day at the specified time.
• TIME RELAY: This setpoint can be used to give an indication (alarm or control) if the 
programmed 
PICKUP TIME is equaled or exceeded. Set to “Off” if the feature is not 
required. Selecting “Alarm” activates the alarm relay and displays an alarm message 
whenever the PQMII clock time equals or exceeds the set 
PICKUP TIME. Selecting “Aux1”, 
“Aux2”, or “Aux3” activates the appropriate auxiliary relay but no message is displayed. 
The “Aux1”, “Aux2”, and “Aux3” selections are intended for process control. The 
selected relay will de-energize when the PQMII clock time equals or exceeds the 
DROPOUT TIME setting.
