Digital, analog, and frequency outputs
Frequency/Digital 
Output(s)
The meter has user-configurable selections for either a frequency output or Digital status (FODO)  
(Also 
)
(3) Frequency/Digital Outputs
FODO1 (four possible output configurations)
FODO2(eight possible output configurations)
FODO3(eight possible output configurations)
Frequency or Digital Output parameter pairs (
Frequency or Digital Outputs (FODO 1) source selections:
(FO1A, DO1A, FO1B, DO1B)
Frequency or Digital Outputs (FODO 2) source selections
(FO1A, DO1A, FO1B, DO1B, FO2A, DO2A, FO2B, DO2B)
Frequency or Digital Outputs (FODO 3) source selections
(FO1A, DO1A, FO1B, DO1B, FO2A, DO2A, FO2B, DO2B)
Mode options:
Open Collector (requires external excitation supply voltage  and pull-up resistor)
TTL (internally powered by the meter 0-5 VDC signal)
Channel B Phase options:
Lag forward, Lead reverse (Phase B lags Phase A while reporting forward flow, leads Phase A 
while reporting reverse flow)
Lead forward, Lag reverse (Phase B leads Phase A while reporting forward flow, lags Phase A 
while reporting reverse flow)
Phase A and Phase B output (based on flow direction)
Reverse flow - output only reports flow in the reverse direction. For frequency outputs, Phase 
B of the output is 90 degrees out of phase with Phase A. 
Forward flow - output only reports flow in the forward direction. For frequency outputs, Phase 
B of the output is 90 degrees out of phase with Phase A.
Absolute - output reports flow in both directions. For frequency outputs, Phase B of the 
output is 90 degrees out of phase with Phase A. 
 Bidirectional - output reports flow on Phase A only in the forward direction and on Phase B 
only in the reverse direction. 
Maximum frequency for the frequency outputs
1000Hz
5000Hz
Analog Output(s)
(1) 4-20 mA independently configurable analog output (HART) 
(1) 4-20 mA independently configurable analog output (conventional) 
 
The analog output zero scale offset error is within ±0.1% of full scale and gain error is within 
±0.2% of full scale. The total output drift is within ±50 ppm of full scale per °C.
