General Overview

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 abso-lute volume and flow-rate of Gases flowing through the RITTER Meter. It consists of a unit in a separate (desk top) casing with a two-line Plain-Text-LCD-Display, and can be used with all types of RITTER Gas Meters. The following individual alterations and functions can be programmed via the Control Buttons:

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

Technical Data

Further Functions

• Data transmission via RS 232 to a PC
• Configuration of the EDU 32 FP from the PC
• Pre-selection of a minimal or maximal Flow Rate
• Acoustic Signalling (Beep) when the Flow Rate values exceed the pre-selected min./max. range
• Power supply for the power interface can be turned off (to in-crease the running time during battery operation)

Control Codes

(for data transmission from Interface RS 232 to Computer)

• Ctrl-V (Hex 16) provides: VOL 00000,00 LTR
