Both control outputs are rated for a maximum of 100 mA and 10 to 28 VDC. A pull-up
resistor can be added externally or an internal 10 kΩ pull-up resistor can be selected
using DIP switches on the power supply board.

PART 3 - INPUTS/OUTPUTS
General
The FSR1 is available in two configurations: the flow model and the energy model.
The flow model is equipped with a 4-20 mA output, two open collector outputs, a
rate frequency output, and RS-485 communications using the Modbus RTU command
set. The energy version has inputs for two 1,000 Ω RTD sensors in place of the rate
frequency and alarm outputs. This version allows the measurement of pipe input and
output temperatures for calculating energy usage calculations.
4-20 mA Output
The 4-20 mA output interfaces with most recording and logging systems by
transmitting an analog current signal that is proportional to system flow rate. The
4-20 mA output is internally powered (current sourcing) and can span negative to
positive flow/energy rates.
For AC powered units, the 4-20 mA output is driven from a +15 VDC source located
within the meter, isolated from earth ground connections. The AC powered model
accommodates loop loads up to 400 Ω. DC powered meters utilize the DC power
supply voltage to drive the current loop. The current loop is not isolated from DC
ground or power. Figure 3.1 shows graphically the allowable loads for various input
voltages. The combination of input voltage and loop load must stay within the
shaded area of Figure 3.1.
