Parameter IMP - number of pulses
This parameter indicates how many impulses the device must at least receive
from the sensor in order to count a load. A pulse always arises when the
magnet turns or moves past the sensor.
1 = lowest number that can be set
10 = default setting
4000 = largest number that can be set
The number of pulses must be set for the application.
Example scraper floor shaft on the manure spreader:
Count or calculate the number of revolutions of the shaft that are necessary for
a complete discharge (e.g .: 10 to 20). This number is set in the device. You can
deduct a small safety reserve so that every load is counted safely. The set feed
rate has no effect here.
Example PTO shaft on manure spreader:
Since the number of impulses is very high here, it is best to determine them
over time. Let the PTO run at 540 revolutions per minute, set the highest feed
rate and measure the time it takes for a complete emptying. If the process takes
1.5 minutes, for example, then multiply 540 x 1.5 = 810. After deducting a small
safety margin, set 750 pulses, for example.
Example dumper:
Since the magnet delivers an impulse once when lifting and once when
lowering, you have to set 2 as the number of impulses.
Example sliding wall on a push-off trailer:
Since the magnet delivers an impulse once when pushing the sliding wall and
once when returning it, you have to set 2 as the number of pulses.
