Connecting to a Flow Pulse
The Flow Pulse Handheld can be connected to any existing Flow
Pulse. Flow monitoring, diagnostic trace and normal data logging
functions are supported.
However, the following features will only be supported by Flow Pulse
firmware 1.2.4 and later:
a) Sending parameter file to a Flow Pulse sensor using the Flow
Pulse Handheld.
b) Maximum power-saving during sleep/wake logging.
c) Reduced trace length for greater data storage efficiency.
For connecting to a Flow Pulse:
a) Check that the Flow Pulse sensor has the appropriate connector and is
correctly wired (refer to Cabling to a Flow Pulse section).
b) Secure the lead to the sensor connector and switch on the handheld.
c) If the sensor is being connected to the controller for the first time,
press F4, choose Tools, then select Modbus to PC-485.
d) Connection will be initiated automatically, and the Flow Pulse
icon will be displayed in the top bar when complete.
e) The parameters on the Flow Pulse will be uploaded to the controller
upon connection.
The Flow Pulse can be unplugged from the controller at any time.
Important Information
Always disconnect the Flow Pulse from the handheld controller before
servicing the Flow Pulse.
The sensor can be switched back to Modbus mode if necessary by going to
Setting1-Flow Pulse menu, select Modbus and set Mode to 1.
