Dual flow inputs :
The model RT12 has a dual flow input feature which can be configured for one of three
available functions of A+B, A-B or A÷B (ratio).
The dual flow inputs are referred to as “input A” and ”input B” at terminals 1 & 3.
Function A+B
Both inputs are added together and displayed as one for Rate, Resettable & Accumulative
Totals.
Displays Rate : The total of A+B flow rates displayed as one rate.
Reset Total : The total of A+B totals displayed as one total.
Accum. Total : The total of A+B accum.totals displayed as one total.
Outputs Scaled Pulse : Scaled pulse value is relative to the totalised values.
Alarms : Alarms are taken relative to the displayed rate.
Analog Output : 4~20mA output is proportional to the displayed rate.
Function A-B
Input B is subtracted from input A, the resultant is displayed as one for Rate, Resettable &
Accumulative Totals.
Displays Rate : The difference of A-B flow rates displayed as one rate
Reset Total : The difference of A-B totals displayed as one total.
Accum. Total : The difference of A-B accum.tot. displayed as one total.
Outputs Scaled Pulse : Scaled pulse value is relative to the totalised values.
Alarms : Alarms are taken relative to the displayed rate.
Analog Output : 4~20mA output is proportional to the displayed rate.
Function A÷B
Input A is divided by input B, the resultant is displayed as an instantaneous Ratio, Resettable
& Accumulative Totals are independently displayed for both A & B inputs.
Displays Rate : The resultant Ratio between A÷B flow rates
displayed as an instantaneous Ratio.
Reset Total input A : The total of input A.
Reset Total input B : The total of input B.
Accum. Total input A : The Accumulative total of input A.
Accum. Total input B : The Accumulative total of input B.
Outputs Scaled Pulse : The scaled pulse output relates to input A .
* Alarms : Alarms are taken relative to the displayed ratio.
* Analog Output : 4~20mA output is proportional to the displayed ratio.
* Note: The alarm and analog outputs for the A÷B function are set in the initial stages of
programming in relation to rate units eg: setting the analog output range to 4mA = 00.000
litres/min and 20mA = 10.000 litres/min, the analog output will be proportional to the ratio rate
display of 0.000~10.000 ( eg. 4mA @ 0.000 and 20mA @ 10.000 ).
The same set up analogy applies to the alarm settings.
