Electrical Connection Options
8 Pin Mini-DIN / 9-pin D-sub (DB9) / 15-pin D-sub (DB15) / 6 pin locking
Supply Voltage
MCW: 12 to 30 Vdc (15-30 Vdc for 4-20 mA outputs)
MCRW: 24 to 30 Vdc
Supply Current
MCW: 0.250 Amp

1. The
Digital Output Signal communicates Mass Flow, Volumetric Flow, Pressure and Temperature
2. The
Analog Output Signal and Optional Secondary Analog Output Signal communicate your choice of Mass
Flow, Volumetric Flow, Pressure or Temperature
3. If selecting
PROFIBUS, no analog signal is available. PROFIBUS units do not have the display. See PROFIBUS
specifications for PROFIBUS supply voltages and currents. (
