Counter & frequency measurements
The MRL-7 is equipped with two universal counter inputs and one counter input dedicated to wind
speed measurements with an anemometer.
9.2.1
Counting events
The counter inputs 1 and 2 can be used to record counts of different devices. As an example, the wiring
of a tipping bucket rain gauge is illustrated in

The rain gauge in this example is configured in
Please note, that in this example the

. This option sets the counter
to 0 if no precipitation is detected.

Frequency measurement
The wind speed input of the MRL-7 – generally used for wind speed measurements – measures the
frequency of an incoming signal.
illustrates the wiring of a combined wind speed/direction
sensor.
