Application

The EDU 32 FP accessory is a microcomputer-controlled counter and display apparatus. It is designed to be used in conjunction with RITTER Gas Meters, to count and display the absolute volume and flow-rate of gases flowing through the Meter. It consists of a unit in a separate (desktop) casing with a two-line Plain-Text-LCD-Display.

The following individual alterations and functions can be programmed via the Control Buttons:

  • Gas Meter type being used
  • Individual measurement range (min./max. flow rates) for custom-built Gas Meters
  • Upper and lower limiting values for Flow Rate
  • Pulse Generator in use:
    • Standard (200 Pulses per revolution of the measurement drum)
    • Ex-Proof (50 Pulses/Revolution)
    • 2 x 200 Pulses (forward/backward)
    • 500 Pulses per revolution of the measuring drum
    • Custom-built Models (customer-preferred number of pulses under 200 or 50 respectively)
  • Language German/English in the Display
  • Analog-Output: Current Output or Voltage Output
  • Contrast adjustment of the Display

Standard Adjustment Specifications

If the EDU 32 FP is ordered together with a Gas Meter, or ordered separately but with notification included of the type of Gas Meter with which it will be used, it will be delivered to the Customer already programmed for that Meter. If ordered separately with no such notification, it will be programmed to the following standard specifications:
  • Gas Meter Type: TG 05
  • Sensor Type: PG 3.2
  • Language: English
  • Output Signal: 4 – 20 mA
  • Current Out: OFF

Point 6 of the EDU Manual explains how the Display Unit can be programmed for other adjustments, should these be required.
