Vogtlin Red-y compact 2 Series, Operating Instructions Manual, Page: 11 / 47

strongly recommend to use the “auto power off” in the menu for battery driven
devices (see chapter 4.12.7 Battery auto off ) More information on the battery in
chapter 3.15 Electrical power supply and 3.16 How to replace the battery?.
Note 1: When we supply the unit, the “auto power off” will be set to 15
minutes
Note 2: The unit can be set to performance mode when powered from the battery, this
will strongly increase the battery usage. See chapter 4.12.1 Measurement for more
information.
2.15. Optional modules
As an additional option you can purchase a power supply or an alarm module.
2.15.1. Power supply module
The power supply module, is provided with a voltage from 8 to 30 Vdc, will power
the unit. The unit comes with a 2 meter cable.
2.15.2. Alarm module
Power in
The alarm module provides 3 individually settable alarms and 2 inputs. Each alarm
can be set by the customer. The module is supplied with a 2 meter fly-lead cable and
needs to be powered by 8…30 Vdc which also powers the compact flow meter.
Each of the 3 alarm contacts can be configured as high, low, window and totalizer
alarm. Once the alarm becomes active, the 3 potential free alarm contacts can be
reset in many different ways. Automatic, through the touch screen or with one of the 2
input signals. Other options like hysteresis settings and delays (timers) are also
available.
The 2 input contacts or customer set alarm conditions can also be used to reset the
totalizer.
For detailed information see 4.11.2 Alarm Menu in this manual.
Figure 5: Power and Alarm module wiring
Both the power and the alarm module are mounted similar to the battery module (see
3.16 How to replace the battery ). They replace the battery module, so you cannot use
these modules in combination with battery power.
An external magnet can unintentionally influence the alarm contacts.
