Introduction
1.1 Introduction
Your new +GF+SIGNET 9010 Intelek-Pro Flow
Controller has been specifically designed for liquid
flow rate measurement in process pipes. The
controller's compact 1/4 DIN enclosure (front) is
NEMA 4X/IP65 rated and ideal for installing into
instrumentation panels with limited space.
Modular "plug-in" input/output option cards allow
you to customize your flow controller to your flow
system's requirements. The controller's unique
"slide-out" chassis design makes option installation
fast and simple. Smart self-configuring
microprocessor based circuitry automatically
inventories installed options during power-up,
allowing you to upgrade your system in seconds
without the need for additional equipment.
The unit's front panel features a highly visible
4.5- digit (seven segment) and 8-digit (alpha-
numeric) liquid crystal display with adjustable
contrast. Active flow rate, accumulation, and
alarm relay information is quickly accessed at a
glance. During calibration the user is prompted
with clear step-by-step instructions on the unit's front
panel display.
The +GF+SIGNET 9010 Intelek-Pro Flow
Controller is fully compatible with all +GF+Signet
flow sensor products, yet also accepts other
analog inputs, such as 4 to 20 mA or
0 to 5 VDC etc.
The technical data given in
this publication is for general
information purposes only. It
implies no warranty of
whatever kind.

Instructions
1. Jumper selectable for 90 to 132 OR 180 to
264 VAC operation. Confirm AC power configuration
before applying power. See section 4.2 pg# 19
2. *A direct or low impedance AC ground (earth
ground) MUST be used for proper operation.
3. To reduce the possibility of noise interference, AC
power lines must be isolated from signal lines.

Note: AC/DC power can be connected simultaneously,
using DC power as an uninterrupted power source.

2.3 Input Connections
Four input sources are accepted:
A. Non-isolated Frequency Inputs
Frequency (non-iso) card: Accepts non-isolated,
0 to 10 kHz @ 0.2 Vp-p minimum sine or square
wave signal inputs. This card requires dip switch
configuration prior to operation.
B. Isolated Frequency Inputs
Frequency (iso) card: Accepts isolated, 0 to
10 kHz @ 0.5 Vp-p minimum sine or square wave
signal inputs. No configuration required.
C. Analog Inputs
Two analog input cards are offered:
• Analog (iso) current, 4 to 20/0 to 20 mA
• Analog (iso) voltage, 0 to 5/0 to 10 VDC
Input ranges are software selectable, requiring no
internal configuration.
Note: See section 4.4
for a listing of available input
cards.

2.4 Standard Output Connections
Standard Outputs
An open collector counter pulse output (CNT) and
a sensor pulse output (PLS) are included with your
unit.
The counter pulse output (synchronous w/totalizer)
emits an open collector 150 ms pulse with a
maximum current sinking capacity of 50 mA @
30 VDC, and is ideal for driving an external
counter or accumulator. An external DC power
supply and current limiting resistor are required
for operation.
The sensor pulse output (PLS) emits a standard TTL
frequency output in phase with the sensor input
and can be used to drive +GF+SIGNET
instruments (except +GF+SIGNET 5090 and
5091) and other TTL compatible devices.

2.5 Relay Output Connections
The 2-Relay option provides two relays for external
device control. Each relay's contacts are rated for
5 A maximum. Both NO and NC contacts may
be used individually or simultaneously as shown.
Note:
Relay contacts are rated as 5 A @ 250 VAC or
5 A @ 30 VDC maximum resistive load.
To reduce the possibility of
noise interference, separate
AC relay lines from input/
output lines.

2.6 Verifying Analog Outputs
Installed analog output options can be configured
to either of the unit's rear analog output terminals:
ANL1 or ANL2. Configuration is determined by
which sockets the options are installed. Options
installed in option socket #1 are configured to the
rear ANL1 terminals, options installed in socket #2
are configured to the rear ANL2 terminals (see
section 4.3).
Prior to connection, determine which options are
configured to terminals ANL1 and ANL2 as
follows:
1. Apply power to unit.
2. Press:
ENTER
; available input/output options are
individually prompted on the display.
3. Record option configurations for ANL1 and
ANL2 in the spaces provided. This information is
necessary for wiring analog outputs in the next
section.

Danger: Avoid electric

2.7 Analog Output Connections
0 to 20/4 to 20 mA isolated or non-isolated

non-isolated outputs are available. See section
4.4 for a list of available output cards.

System
Configuration
3.1 Introduction
All the functions which can be modified are
contained in three menus:
The CAL (calibrate) menu contains those functions
which pertain to the input signal and how it is
interpreted by the instrument (i.e. K-factor, totalizer
reset). The CAL menu also provides access to the
security code and display contrast features.
The RELAY menu contains all the functions neces-
sary to control any output relays, such as relay
Note: The maximum loop impedance for the 4 to 20 mA/0 to 20 mA output is 425 Ω .
The minimum load impedance for the 0 to 5 V/0 to 10 V output is 1 k
Ω (1000 Ω ). To
reduce the possibility of noise interference, separate output lines from AC power/relay lines.

3.4 2-Relay Operations
The 2-Relay option allows you to configure
individual setpoints, LO or HI operation, and
hysteresis values for two independent on/off
relays.
• Relay Setpoints: Setpoints represent the flow
rate at which each relay is energized.
• Relay Hysteresis: Hysteresis values directly
effect the LO and HI relay modes, specifying how
far the flow will rise above (LO Relay Mode) or fall
below (HI Relay Mode) each relay's setpoint prior
to de-energizing the relay. The main purpose for
hysteresis is to eliminate relay "chatter", caused by
a flow hovering around a relay's setpoint.
Hys-teresis values are programmed in direct flow
units and must be less than the corresponding relay
setpoint. Hysteresis only applies when exiting an
alarm condition.
• LO Relay Operation: In LO operation, the relay
is energized when the flow drops below the
set-point, and is de-energized when the flow rises
above the setpoint plus hysteresis. See Figure 8.
• HI Relay Operation: In HI operation, the relay
is energized when the flow rises above the
setpoint and is de-energized when the flow falls
be-low the setpoint plus hysteresis. See Figure 9.
• Pulse Relay Setting: Setting relay 1 or 2 to the
Pulse operation mode means the relay will be
cycled (energized) for a 150 ms period each time
a user specified quantity is measured.
