Table 4-2. Normal resistance for flowmeter circuits
Table 4-3. Input and output ratings
Notes
• Temperature sensor value increases 0.38675 ohms per °C increase in temperature.
• Nominal resistance values will vary 40% per 100°C. However, confirming an open coil or shorted coil is more important than
any slight deviation from the resistance values presented below.
• Resistance across terminals 6 and 8 (right pickoff) should be within 10% of resistance across terminals 5 and 9 (left pickoff).
• Resistance values depend on the sensor model and date of manufacture.
Circuit Wire colors Sensor terminals Nominal resistance range
Drive Coil Brown to Red 1 to 2 8 to 2650Ω
Left Pickoff Green to White 5 to 9 15.9 to 300Ω
Right Pickoff Blue to Gray 6 to 8 15.9 to 300Ω
Temperature Sensor Orange to Violet 3 to 7 35 to 175Ω depending on process fluid
Lead Length Compensator Yellow to Violet 4 to 7 35 to 175Ω depending on process fluid
