11. Absolut Encoder S1
- This has the same features as counter head S1
- Can be used as
main counter on gas meters
- Available as a top-mounted unit (transmitter unit) on meters with
mechanical index drive (counter head version II)
- The encoder is suitable for connection to a series-connected
additional device (volume corrector, datalogger or bus system) in
potentially explosive atmospheres (see table: Technical data). A
device connected to the terminal box must feature at least the
following approval as a related equipment for this:
[
EEx ia IIC ]
for version with Namur interface
[
EEx ib IIC ]
for version with SCR interface
Connection of the Absolut ENCODER S1 unit to the mechanical index drive of the
meter
-
Connect the connector of the top-mounted unit to the mechanical index drive of counter
head version II.
-
Use a locking screw to secure the encoder top-mounted unit against pulling out.
-
The locking screw must be lead-sealed for applications requiring mandatory calibration.
-
If you wish to synchronise the encoder with the counter reading of your operating meter
after installation or conversion, you will require the Instructions “Encoder synchronisation”
and a special tool. We recommend that you contact our ELSTER After-Sales Service in
such cases.
