Input pulses from utility meters (gas, water, heat, etc.) transmitted via LonWorks can
be connected to pulse converter inputs using the property "Scaling Factor". The
pulses supplied by the meters are multiplied by the scaling factor and are then ready
to be read as pure consumption values. The "Scaling Factor" thus always indicates
the value of each pulse received.
The adjustable range is 0.0 through 100,000,000.0,
The number of decimal places depends on the selected engineering unit.
Example: A heat meter supplies 10 pulses per kWh "consumed". Accordingly, the
scaling factor (= value of a pulse) is 0.1 kWh/pulse.

State Texts
Multistate datapoints allow switching 256 states (stages) including the “off stage" of
physical digital inputs or outputs. For each state, a state text can be created and
assigned to the point in CARE. The state text is displayed on the Excel Web HTML
Interface when the point switches the input or output to the corresponding state
(stage).
Example: Multi-stage fan with state texts: stage 1, stage 2, stage 3, etc.

Equivalent Alarm Delay
The time delay determines how long a ´To-Off-Normal` or a ´Back-To-Normal`
transition must exist before an event enrollment alarm is sent to the recipient.
Entering a time delay of 10 seconds means that the limit value must be exceeded
for at least 10 seconds before this event enrollment sends an event notification to
the recipient. If the limit value only lasts for 7 seconds, then no event notification is
sent.
