8. different pulse widths to choose from Some end devices require that the pulse be a certain length or longer in order for proper detection of each incoming pulse For these devices it s important to select a pulse width that is long enough for the end device to recognize The pulse width option is set by selecting the desired pulse width radio button in the Program Values column of the software The Pulse Width option will be programmed into the board when the PROGRAM button is pressed but note that all values must be entered before programming is allowed by the software In addition to the six pre set pulse widths another option Auto mode is available This mode acts in the same manor but does not restrain the output pulse to a specific length Instead it varies and is dependent on output frequency The higher the output frequency the shorter the pulse width output The lower the frequency output the longer the pulse width output This option turns off the Pulse Output option because it does not apply in this mode Form No B410 002 11 10 9 Setting the output level normally high or normally low Most end devices will be unaffected by this setting but the K Factor Scaler has the ability to invert the output pulse level This option is set by selecting the desired pulse output radio button in the Program Values column of the software The Pulse Output option will be programmed into the board when the PROGRAM button

13. t K Factor Scaler is a field adjustable frequency divider which interfaces the output signal from a turbine meter with a magnetic pick up to the input of a PLC RTU CPU data acquisition card or similar totalizer device The adjustable frequency divisor referred to as the K factor allows the pulses being sent from a turbine meter to be divided into a recognizable unit that an end device such as a PLC can count and display Different K factors allow the device to display in any number of volume measurements such as gallons cubic meters liters barrels etc A calibration sheet provided with a turbine meter will list a nominal K factor for the range of the meter tested to a specific volumetric flow rate This K factor can be placed directly into the K Factor Scaler to provide an output with the same volumetric flow rate or modified to a different volumetric flow rate by re calculating the K factor with the appropriate conversion factor In addition if the K factor is set to 1 the K Factor Scaler can be used as a preamplifier where the frequency from a low level turbine meter is proportional to the logic level frequency output needed by a PLC or CPU data acquisition card This option allows the end device to control the dividing process of the turbine meter output to a recognizable flow rate OPERATING PRINCIPLE Fluid moving though a turbine flow meter causes the rotor to rotate in relation to the flow rate The rotation of the rotor blades
