Zero Adjustment
Is needed, if zero adjustment
wants to be triggered by PLC or
when volume counter function is
used (integration of flow with
volume detection)

1. Check if all parts are delivered as shown in Figure 17. For every configuration (single
converter as shown in Figure 17a and multi converter array as in Figure 17b) a termination
box (resistance to terminate the RS485) and a connector box (wiring) is needed.
2. For communication with RS485 check the address settings of the potentiometers on the front
panel of the converter (see Figure 17d). The total address of the first channel is:
“High ADRS” x 10 + “Low ADRS” x 1

Configuration Software can be used to debug and configure the flowmeter
over the RS485. For communication with RS485 the MODBUS protocol can be requested at
