Transmitter Connections

 

3.4.1.

 

Power supply

 

Please pay attention to the power supply. Please connect related power supply according 

to the symbols of connecting terminals.

3.4.2.

 Transmitter connections

 

Once the flowmeter is installed at the designated place as required, you can start connections. 

Please connect the cable according to the wiring mark, the specific explanation is as follows: 

DC+ 

Power supply DC10-

Warning!

 

Please ensure that the flowmeter is connected with the power off, and ensure that it has been 

reliably grounded before use

.

 

3.4.3 

Power on

 

When  switching  the power on for the  first  time,  the flowmeter will run automatically 

according to the parameters you put last time (the meter is calibrated before leaving factory). 
After the flowmeter is installed and powered on, you can check its status in M04 menu; if it 

displays “*R”, it indicates that the flowmeter is running normally.

 

If you use the flowmeter in a new environment, you need to input related parameters. 

Any parameters you input would be kept in its memories forever till you correct them again. 
If you need to adjust its installation position or the position of the transducer, you need to 
input and set related parameters again of the flowmeter to ensure normal use. 

DO  always  finish  all  tasks  when  running.  No  matter  in  any  displays,  tasks  including 

measurement and output should be finished as usual.
