parameters will be setup before shipment;
however, if this is not the case, it will be
necessary for the appropriate values to be set up
by the user.
NOTE
Flow rate span is the value for instantaneous
owratethatcorrespondstoacurrentoutputof
20 mA. The following factors should be taken
intoconsiderationwhendecidingontheowrate
span.

possible up to an upper limit of 103.13%, and
beyond this, error would occur. Note that the
same applies to pulse output and totalization.

Theowvelocitycanbeconrmedusing
sizing data or with parameter C44: Velocity
Check, and in the latter case, the value
obtainedwhenspanisconvertedtoow
velocity will be displayed.
• Regardlessofthepositionofthedecimal
point, the largest value that can be set on the
display unit is 32,000. Furthermore, it is not
possible to set a number of 4 or greater for
the highest-order digit. Similarly, if 3 is set for
this highest-order digit, it will not be possible
to set a number of 2 or greater for the next
digit to the right, regardless of the position of
the decimal point.
Example: A value of 333.33 is represented
by the character string 33333, and
since this exceeds 32000, it cannot
be set. In such a case, the value
333.3 should be set instead.
[B24: Flow Decimal Pnt] Setting of the decimal

→ This setting is linked with that of parameter C43.
This parameter sets the position of the decimal
pointforinstantaneousowratevaluesinterms
of the number of digits. When set using “Auto”,
the decimal point position will be automatically
determined in accordance with the setting value for
B23/C42:FlowSpan as shown below.
FlowSpan≤9 Decimalpointposition:
3 digits
9<FlowSpan≤90 Decimalpointposition:
2 digits
90<FlowSpan≤900 Decimalpointposition:
1 digit
900 < Flow Span Decimal point position:
no digits (i.e., no decimal
point)
When an item other than “Auto” is set, the selected
number of digits for the decimal point position is
used.
With the decimal point removed, 6 digits are
