● measurement units are not supported, i.e. ‘revolutions’, or
● volume and mass units are used simultaneously.
Use the following procedure to set up the automatic unit conversion:
1.
4.1: FLOWMETER > SIGNAL
: Select the correct type of flowmeter signal.
2.
4.2: FLOWMETER > UNITS
:
Select the type of measurement unit (volume or mass) shown on the
certificate.
3.
4.3: FLOWMETER > UNIT
:
Select the measuring unit shown on the certificate.
4.
4.4: FLOWMETER > K-FACTOR
:
Enter the (average) K-factor shown on the certificate.
5.
1.1: TOTAL > UNIT
:
Select the desired measuring units for (accumulated) Total.
6.
2.1: FLOWRATE > UNIT
:
Select the desired measuring units for Flowrate.
For a detailed description and tutorials on the automatic unit conversion feature, refer to our website
(or ask your supplier).
Example
: How to manually calculate the K-factor for total or flowrate:
● The Flowmeter generates 65.231 pulses per US gallon.
● The required measurement unit is cubic feet (ft
3
).
● A cubic foot = 7.48052 gallons.
Formula
Pulse per US gallon x cubic foot (in gallons) =
K-factor
65.231 x 7.48052 =
487.9618
For this example, enter
487.9618
as the K-factor for total or flowrate.

FLOWMETER
4.1 SIGNAL
Selects the type of flowmeter pickup / signal. The unit can process several
types of input signal. The settings with LP are used to apply a built-in low-
pass filter. Also see
Section 6.4.10: Terminals S1-S3: Flowmeter input [»49]
for more information.
The selections “Active pulse input” offer a pulse detection level of about
50% of the selected active pulse voltage.
