configuration for your meter (Temperature, Pressure, Meter Corrections, and Meter
Outputs). Selections on this page will affect other configuration selections. Select
Next
to continue to General setup.
2. Use General setup to configure the meter’s system units (U.S Customary or Metric
units) volume units, flow rate time, low flow cutoff, contract hour and enable reverse
flow. Select
Next to continue to Frequency/Digital Outputs page.
Note: The Meter’s Units system configured on the General Page affect the units for the
optional Local Display items.
3. Set the Frequency/Digital Outputs Sources for either a frequency output or a digital
status. Select the Source for each Frequency/Digital output and select the desired drive
Mode. The Mode options are Open Collector which requires an external excitation
voltage and pull-up resistor or TTL mode which outputs a 0-5 VDC signal.
Note: Frequency outputs 1 and Digital outputs 1 are paired together meaning the
Digital outputs 1 will report the status for the parameter for Frequency outputs 1.
Similarly, Frequency outputs 2 and Digital outputs 2 are paired together. Additionally,
each Frequency output has an A and B output phase.
