Installation
The installation of the module IWM-PL4 is allowed on WDE-K50 meters.

the meter with the ones on the module.
With one hand keep the meter steady, with the other hand push the module gently towards the dial
[2] and pull it in the direction shown by the arrow [3].
Connect the wires as follows:
White [+]: regular count wire, NO contact (Normally Open). The contact closes every time the
pulse is sent, independently from the water flow direction.

more) of the following events occurs:
-
Module removal
-
Fraud on the inductive sensor
-
Cable cut
-
Magnetic fraud
Green [+]: programmable wire, NO contact (Normally
Open). The user can set one of the following functions:
-
Absolute counting (closes when the pulse is sent, with backward flow revolution
compensation;
-
Backward counting (closes when the pulse is sent, when the flow goes backwards);
-
Dosing (closes every “x” liters, with “x” freely programmable).
Brown [-]: Ground (common wire)
