24 VDC ± 10% / 270 mA / Inrush Peak 4.9 A within 180 µs
Note: Usage of twisted pairs in a shielded cable recommended.
Field Ground. See note in installation Section 3.2.2
RS485 with MODBUS protocol
Digital communication in a sensor array or configuration with service SW.
Note: Usage of twisted pair wires in a shielded cable recommended.
RS485 ground. If possible, to be connected to the ground of the RS485 master.
Note 1: Can be led in the same cable as TRX+/TRX-.

collector.
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)

Note 1: Min torque for connector screws is 0.5 Nm and max. is 0.6 Nm.
1. Check if all parts are delivered as shown in Figure 16. For every configuration (single converter
as shown in Figure 16a and multi converter array as in Figure 16b) 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 16d). The total address of the first channel is:
“High ADRS” x 10 + “Low ADRS” x 1

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