SCADAmetrics\u00ae<\/sup> is pleased to introduce the newest member of our DINstrumentation™<\/strong> series \u2013 The Analog Pulse Kit!<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

This new instrument is available in two different model variations: the Model APK<\/strong>, which mounts on standard industrial DIN-rail, and the Model APK.PLUS<\/strong>, which features an LCD display and is contained within its own NEMA-4X enclosure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

New Analog SCADA Interfaces by SCADAmetrics \u2014 for Sensus\u00ae and Many Other Flow Meters!<\/strong><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\n\n\n\n

The Analog Pulse Kit<\/strong> utilizes the unconditioned raw pulse output from the flow meter to provide a 4-20 milliamp (flow) output<\/strong>, a clean, dry-contact pulse (per volume) output<\/strong>, and a clean, dry-contact flow switch output!<\/strong> The flow switch output can be used, for example, to trigger ON\/OFF a chemical disinfection pump.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Certain flow meters, such as the Sensus\u00ae OMNI™-Series<\/strong>, feature an unconditioned digital pulse output signal. The SCADAmetrics Analog Pulse Kit<\/strong> was designed to expand upon this pulse signal to provide an efficient flow meter interface to SCADA, Telemetry, and Building Automation Systems.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Furthermore, the Analog Pulse Kit<\/strong> was designed using SCADAmetrics\u2019 signature approach of providing users with the capability to easily set the instrument\u2019s meter-specific behavior while in-the-field, as opposed to only at the factory. All meter-specific customization is accomplished using 16 integrated DIP-switches, which are set according to our lookup table. The obvious benefits to our approach are accelerated project schedules and shortened lead-times.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For Sensus\u00ae OMNI™<\/strong> and HET Propeller Meters<\/strong>, the Analog Pulse Kit<\/strong> provides the necessary 24VDC auxiliary power supply for these unique, 3-wire pulse-type meters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For flow meters whose pulse output signal is too short-duration (milliseconds) or too high-frequency (Hz) to be detected by certain low-pulse-bandwidth BMS systems, the Analog Pulse Kit<\/strong> provides a Pulse Extension feature<\/strong>, which lengthens short-duration pulses to 100 milliseconds; and the Analog Pulse Kit<\/strong> also provides a Low-Speed Pulse Output feature<\/strong>, which decreases the pulse output frequency (Hz) by a factor of 10.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
