Industrial Registers, Models ER-420-AC, ER-420-DC & ER-420-LP
Inputs
Flowmeter
Type P
NPN/PNP, open collector, reed switch, active pulse signals 8…12 and 24V
Frequency
Minimum 0 Hz, maximum 7 kHz for total and flow rate
Maximum frequency depends on signal type and internal low-pass filter
Example: Reed switch with low-pass filter: maximum frequency is 120 Hz
K-Factor
0 000010…9,999,999 with variable decimal position
Low-pass filter
Available for all pulse signals
Outputs
Analog Output
Function
Transmitting flow rate
Accuracy
10 bit Error < 0 05% Updates 10 times a sec
Software function is to calibrate the 4 00 mA and 20 00 mA levels precisely within setup
Load
1 kOhm max
Type ER-420-AC and
ER-420-DC
Passive galvanically isolated output
Type AP
Passive 4…20 mA output; output loop powered
Transistor Output
Pulse output
Maximum frequency is 500 Hz for units with Rev 03 and newer (60 Hz for units earlier than
Rev 03) Pulse length is user-definable between 7 8 msec up to 2 secs
Function
One pulse output, transmitting accumulated total
Type ER-420-AC and
ER-420-DC
Isolated mechanical relay output; maximum switch power is 230V AC to 0 5A
ER-420-LP
Passive transistor output, not isolated Load maximum is 50V DC to 300 mA
