9.1 Aux Meters
A unit may have 1 to 4 Aux Meters. These additional inputs are for tracking various flow meter devices
like Advantage Controls’ FloTracker in a metering pump’s discharge tubing. They can also be linked to a
system’s water meter input for additional tracking and alarm capabilities.
Select the Aux Flow Meter to set-up or review.

Aux Meter Settings
PULSE VALUE
- Defines the numerical value for a
contact, i.e. 225.
UNITS
- Defines the units of measure for a contact,
i.e. Pulses / Ounce.
RESET TOTAL
- Resets the totalized count of the
meter.
VERIFY ALARM
- If a flow meter is linked to a control
relay the controller will give an alarm if it does not receive a contact or pulse from the aux meter within the
amount of time defined or if it gets a contact when the relay is not on.
RELAY LINK
- The relay link informs the particular aux meter input is relevant to the control function that the
selected relay is being driven by. For example, if the aux flow meter is a metering pump’s FloTracker then it
should be linked to the relay that is driven by the feed timer that pump will be controlled by. If the aux meter
is going to be linked to a water meter in a bleed of line, then it should be linked to the relay that is controlling
the bleed off valve.
VOLUME ALARM
- If FloTracker has been selected as the Tracking method, an alarm will occur when the
defined VOLUME USED has passed through the flow device.
