Note
1. Chassis ground is not available on a separate pin. Instead, it is
carried out throu

g
. Be sure that the connector on
the other end of the cable is properly grounded to its chassis ground.
2. The 0 to 5 VDC flow signal output comes from pin 2 and is
referenced to pin 7 (signal common).
3. Use any appropriate 0 to 5 VDC input signal of less than 20K ohm
source impedance referenced to pin 7 as the set point signal to pin 8.
