This parameter establishes, as a percentage of full scale flow, the threshold at
which the output alarm will be activated . Flow rates below the threshold will
activate the output alarm .
Set Max.

This parameter provides configuration of the functional operation of the
associated output . The following operations are supported:
Function Dig1 Dig2 Dig3 Dig4
Off X X X
Test X X X
MinMax X X X
Empty X X X
ErAlarm X X X
Forward X
Reverse X

• Inactive [Off] means digital output is switched off . It is recommended
to switch off the outputs in the menu “Output function” if not used . This
increase the battery life time .
• Test [Test] triggers the output .
• Flow setpoint [MinMax] provides indication when flow rate exceeds
thresholds defined by flow setpoints (set min, set max) .
• Empty pipe alarm [Empty] provides indication when pipe is empty .
• Error alarm [ErAlarm] provides indication when meter has error condition .
• Forward pulse [Forward] generates pulses during forward flow conditions .
• Reverse pulse [Reverse] generates pulses during reverse flow conditions .
• Flow direction [Direct] provides indication on current flow direction .
• ADE [ADE] “Absolute Digital Encoder” for remote meter reading using ASCII
communication protocol .

This parameter lets you set the output switch to normally open or normally
closed . If normally open is selected, the output switch is open (no current) when
the output is inactive, and closed (current flows) when the output is active .
If normally closed is selected, the output switch is closed (current flows) when
the output is inactive, and open (no current) when the output is active .
