IMPORTANT
Communication signal is superimposed on 
analog output signal. It is recommended to set 
alow-passlter(approximately0.1s)tothe
receiver in order to reduce the output effect 
from communication signal. Before online-
communication,conrmthatcommunication
signal does not give effect on the upper system.
IMPORTANT
Restrictions exist with regard to the distance 
over which communication is possible. When 
simultaneous output of current and pulse output 
or pulse output are used, no communication is 
possible depending on the wiring. Read Section 
4.6 and Chapter 12 in detail.
IMPORTANT
Ifthepowerofowmeteristurnedoffwithin30
seconds after parameters have been set, these 
settings will be canceled. Accordingly, please 
keep the power on for at least 30 seconds after 
setting parameters.
IMPORTANT
After approximately 5 minutes of inactivity, the 
Auto Power-Off function will operate to turn your 
BT200 off.
WARNING
 
Be sure to set parameters as “Protect” on the
