Pulse width defines the time during which the switch at the
output is closed and high current flows between terminals B1
or B2 and B
⊥
. The maximum pulse rate is selected at the
same time, as the interpulse period is at least equal to half
the pulse width:

Pulses/Volume is used to set the number of pulses that are
output for the given volume. If 10.0 is set at Unit m
3
, 10
pulses are output per cubic metre. If 0.01 is set at Unit l , one
pulse is output per 100 litres.
•
A large pulse width together with a high pulse rate will
cause overranging. Therefore, pulse rate is limited so
that the minimum interpulse period does not drop below
half the pulse width. In that case, error message due to
overranging of the pulse output, i.e. marker flashes and,
if activated in Fct. 1.4 “Display", is output in the form of
horizontal scrolling.
•
When the pulse output is overranged, the missing pulses
are output later, at times of lower flow.
