Note
1. The “No Connection” pin assignment refers to a pin with no internal
connection.
2. The 0 to 5 VDC flow signal output comes from pin 2 and is
referenced to pin 12 (signal common).
3. Any appropriate 0 to 5 VDC input signal of less than 20K ohm
source impedance referenced to pin 12 can be used to supply a set
point signal to pin 8.
