The module’s flow meter mode is compatible with a variable reluctance AC input, which counts AC zero crossing

signals from 50 mV to 75V AC peak.

Count input modes include uni-directional, bi-directional and quadrature. Bi-directional and quadrature inputs

require the use of two inputs, with up to four counters of this type being supported.

The module accepts +5 to +45 V gating (enable) pulses for standard meter proving applications. To

accommodate these pulses, the module uses a pulse-to-enable converter circuit that can be enabled and disabled

with software. Note that this module does not perform pulse interpolation for meter proving.

The module also has external inhibit/trigger lines using a 5V discrete pulse to regulate activity.
