Pulse-signal PNP / PNP-LP
The F018-P is suitable for use with flowmeters which have a PNP output signal. Terminal 3 offers
3.2V which has to be switched by the sensor to terminal 2 (SIGNAL). For a reliable pulse detection,
the pulse amplitude has to go above 1.2V. Signal setting PNP-LP employs a low-pass signal noise
filter, which limits the maximum input frequency (read chapter 3.3.2).
A sensor supply voltage of 8.1V DC can be provided with option PD on terminal 6.

Active signal
Active signal selection may well be desired in the case of option PD being supplied for sensor
supply.

Reed-switch
The F018-P is suitable for use with flowmeters which have a reed-switch. To avoid pulse bounce
from the reed-switch, it is advised to select REED LP - low-pass filter (read chapter 3.3.2).
