Meter Operation
The meter accepts two input channels (A and B) of
either pulses (e.g. ±40 mV to ± 8V), square wave
(0-5 V, 0-12 V, or 0-24 V), open collector NPN, PNP,
TTL, or switch contact signals and displays these
signals in engineering units from -99999 to 999999.
(
e.g.
a 0-1000 Hz signal could be displayed as -
50.000 to 50.000).
Digital inputs and quadrature inputs can be accepted
for bi-directional flow on channel A and B. Quadrature
inputs can also be accepted, using channels A and B
to calculate a single bi-directional flow.
A totalizer can be programmed to count the scaled
engineering units, interpreting it as count per second,
minute, hour, or day. The scaled rate and total for
each channel can be displayed on the top or bottom
displays.
A math function channel (C) is available to perform
operations on channel A and B rates or totals, with
adder and factor constants, and display the results.
Engineering units or tags may be displayed with these
three channels.
The dual-line display can be customized by the user.
Typically, display line 1 is used to display the math
channel C, while line 2 is used to alternate between
displaying input channels A and B rate or total.
Additionally, the meter can be set up to display any
input or math channel on display line 1 and a unit or
tag on line 2. The relays and analog output can be
programmed to operate based on any input rate or
total, or the math function channel.

Function Keys Operation
During operation, the programmable function keys
operate according to the way they have been
programmed in the
Advanced Features
– User
menu.
See Programmable Function Keys User Menu
The table above shows the factory default settings for
F1, F2, and F3.
F4 Operation
A digital input, F4, is standard on the meter. This
digital input is programmed identically to function keys
F1, F2, and F3. The input is triggered with a contact
closure to COM, or with an active low signal. During
operation, F4 operates according to the way it has
been programmed in the
Advanced Features
– User
menu.

Maximum/Minimum Readings
The max & min readings (peak & valley) reached by
the process can be displayed either continuously or
momentary:
1. Display briefly by assigning to the F1-F3
function keys or to the digital inputs in the
User
menu.
2. Display continuously by assigning either
display to max/min through the
Display
menu.
Any of the F1-F3 function keys (buttons) and the
digital inputs can be programmed to reset the max &
min readings. The meters are set at the factory to
display the max/min reading by pressing the Up
arrow/F2 button and to use the Right arrow/F1 button
to reset the max/min.
To display max and min channel A reading using
function key with factory defaults:
1. Press Up arrow/F2 button to display the
maximum and minimum reading of channel A
since the last reset/power-up.
2. To reset max/min press Right arrow/F1 button.
The max & min displays are reset to actual
values.
3. Press Menu to exit max/min display reading.
