Low Gate (
Lo G
)
For most applications, low gate setting should be left at 1.0 second. Increase low gate setting to obtain a
steadier rate display. The rate display will update in accordance with the low gate setting, for example if
low gate is set at 10.0, the display will update every 10 seconds; changes in rate between updates will not
be reflected until next display update.
High Gate (
Hi G
)
Set the high gate value to correspond to the highest expected pulse period (lowest pulse rate). For
instance, if the meter must display a rate when there is 1 pulse coming into the meter every 10 seconds,
set the high gate to 11.0 seconds. When the signal is removed from the meter, the display will show the
last reading for 11 seconds; then it will read zero.

*The low gate setting corresponds to the display update rate
and is used to stabilize the display reading with a fluctuating
signal.
**The minimum frequency is dependent on high gate
setting.
Contact De-Bounce Filter (
FiLter
)
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.
The filter function (
Filter
) is the second option in the Advanced Features menu. There are two settings,
Hi SPd
(high speed) and
Lo SPd
(low speed), press
ENTER
when
Lo SPd
is displayed to enable the filter
function. Program the filter value, so that there are no extra counts when a contact closure is completed.
