Based on interface being used and power supply option, optional cable kit
assemblies are available for order. See Table 7 for optional GFC cable kit
assemblies.

c) Input/Output Jumper Configuration

NOTE: The GFT2 device input/output jumpers were configured at the factory
according to the order. There is no need to change the input/output jumper
configuration unless a different input is being used. Before applying power and
process signals, make sure the input/output jumpers are installed in the correct
position. See Table 8.

d) Parameters Configuration
The following parameters have to be configured:
Device Function (see Submenu “Device Function”). “Controller” function has to
be selected.
Full-Scale Range (see Submenu “Device Calibration”). Full-Scale Range
parameter must be set equal to the GFC full-scale flow rate in L/min.
Fluid Std. Density (see Submenu “Device Calibration”). This parameter is
required only when mass-based engineering units are selected.

NOTE: If “Full-Scale Range”, “Device Function”, and “Fluid Std. Density”
parameters are not set properly, device may have erroneous reading and
unpredictable behavior.

User may configure other parameters according to individual preferences and
application requirements.

Connecting GFT2 to Flow Meters/Controllers From Other Manufacturers
(Stand Alone)
a) Mounting
When GFT2 is connected to flow meters/controllers from other manufacturers, it
can be used as stand alone table top or panel mounted (See Figure 37). On the
back side of the GFT2 enclosure, there are 4 tapped holes which are designated to
be used for panel-mounted option.

b) Electrical Connection
GFT2 can be used with any generic flow meter/controller which can support 0 to 5
VDC and/or 4 to 20 mA input/output interfaces. It can also be ordered for 0 to 10
VDC input/output interface (special order, not supported by generic models).

NOTE: Do not connect GFT2 input/output circuitry to voltages above 5.5 VDC
unless GFT2 was specifically ordered for 0-10 VDC input/output interface. Check
device part number or contact Dwyer Instruments customer service for device
input.
