Pulse Value in the Operating Mode

When the output is configured for energy, the value of its pulses can be selected from the list (depending on the rated flow qp and energy measurement units):

Energy pulse value, when units are
“kWh” or “MWh”
0,00001 - 10 000 MWh/pulse
Energy pulse value, when units are “GJ”0,0001 - 10 000 GJ/pulse
Energy pulse value, when units are “Gcal”0,0001 - 1 000 Gcal/pulse
When the output is configured for water quantity, the value of its pulses can be selected from the list (depending on the
permanent flow q
p):
Water volume pulse value, m3/pulse0,001 - 10 m3/pulse

f the meter is ordered with the pulse input-output device, then a permanently connected 1.5 m length cable is fitted in the
meter for connecting the inputs-outputs
