11.2. Parameterize the Relay

Your deltawaveC-P  is equipped with a relay output.
This output can be assigned a function or a range.

Example of an external circuitry:











You link an alarm beacon with the output to signal that the flow rate has
undershot the lower threshold limit.

Color coding of the relay output cable:

yellow Clamp 1

white Clamp 2
