Contact De-Bounce Filter (

The filter function (
Filter
) is the second option in the
Advanced Features menu. The filter function (
FiLter
)
can be used for applications where the meter is set up
to count pulses generated by switch contacts. The
filter value can be set anywhere between 2 and 50,
the higher the value, the greater the filtering. Channel
A and B have independent settings.
There are two settings,
Hi SPd
(high speed) and
Lo
SPd
(low speed). After pressing
ENTER
to select
Lo
SPd
, enter the desired filter setting based on the table
below so that there are no extra counts when a
contact closure is completed. Selecting
Hi SPd
does
not require a programmable filter value.

Modbus RTU Serial
Communications (
serial
)
The meter is equipped with serial communications
capability as a standard feature using Modbus RTU
Serial Communication Protocol.
The meter may be connected to a PC for initial
configuration via the onboard micro USB connection.
For ongoing digital communications with a computer
or other data terminal equipment, an RS-232, or
RS-485 option is required; see
•
DO NOT
connect any equipment other than
Precision Digital’s expansion modules, cables, or
meters to the RJ45 M LINK connector. Otherwise
damage will occur to the equipment and the
meter.
Note: More detailed instructions are provided with
each optional serial communications adapter.
Note: Refer to the ProVu Modbus Register Tables
located at www.predig.com for details.
When using more than one meter in a multi-drop
mode, each meter must be provided with its own
unique address. The meter address (Slave ID) may
be programmed between 1 and 247. The transmit
delay may be set between 0 and 199 ms. The parity
can be set to even, odd, or none with 1 or 2 stop bits.
Changes made to the Serial menu are initialized after
the MENU key is pressed or after navigating through
the t-byte parameter.
