1. Introduction
1.1 Product Overview
The RT14 Rate Totaliser is designed for computing, displaying and transmitting totals and
flowrates from a flowmeter with a pulse or frequency output. The instrument will display Flow
Rate, Total and Accumulated Total in engineering units as programmed by the user. Simple
flow chart programming with scrolling English prompts guides you through the programming
routine greatly reducing the need to refer to the instruction manual. All user program data is
retained if the battery is removed.
Environments
The instrument is weatherproof to IP66/67 (Nema 4X) standards; a UV resistant glass
reinforced nylon housing with stainless steel screws & a mix of Nitrile O-ring seals and
Polyurethane gaskets allow the instrument to maintain its environmental protection across a
wide operating temperature range. The instrument suits harsh indoor and outdoor
environments & conforms to the European Directive for Electro Magnetic Compatibility.
Features
Displays of Total, Accumulated Total, and Flowrate, 10 point Linearisation, PIN Protection,
4~20mA analogue output, selectable digital output for pulse output or High / Low flow alarms.
Installation
Specifically engineered to be directly mounted on a variety of flowmeters, wall or surface
mounted, pipe or panel mounted. Various mounting kits are available. The instrument can be
self-powered or may be powered by an external DC supply or by a 2-wire analogue loop.
