7. Relay Connections
Two internal relay contact sets (COM, NO, and NC) may be used for
external device control. Front panel LED annunciators indicate the
activation status of each relay. Each relay can control up to two
devices simultaneously, as shown. Relay operation modes include Low
alarm, High alarm, Pulse, and Totalizer (sec. 8.5).
Common device connections include:
• Pulse mode - metering pump control
• Pulse mode - solenoid valve control
• Low or High mode - warning lamps
• Low or High mode - bells or sirens
• Low or High mode - external heavy-duty relay
Wiring Example Right
Device A IS powered when relay 2 is de-energized (front panel LED
"off"). Power is discontinued when the relay 2 setpoint is reached (front
panel LED "on"). Device B IS NOT powered when the relay 2 is
de-energized. Power is applied after the relay 2 setpoint is reached.

5. Totalizer Reset Connections (sec. 8.3)
Technical Notes:
•Use 2-conductor shielded twisted pair cable for reset lines up to
30 m (100 ft) max. External reset switch overrides software security
feature (section 9.3 I).
•To reduce the possibility of AC noise interference, isolate AC power
lines from reset lines.
Technical Notes:
•Maximum relay contact ratings: 5 A @ 30 VDC, 5 A @ 125 VAC,
or 3 A @ 250 VAC
•An external heavy-duty relay must be used for devices with surge
currents or operating currents that exceed the above specifications.

pg 4 of 12 ‡ SIGNET 5500 Flow Monitor
A. LOW alarm mode
The output is active (relay energized) when the flow drops below the
setpoint, and is inactive (relay de-energized) when the flow rises above
the setpoint plus hysteresis (sec. 9.2 F-G, 9.2 J-K).
•Auxiliary output: ideal for external device
inputs (sec. 4)
•Relay outputs: ideal for external warning
lamps, sirens, etc. (sec. 7)
B. HIGH alarm mode
The output is active (relay energized) when the flow rises above the
setpoint and is inactive (relay de-engergized) when the flow falls below
the setpoint plus hysteresis (sec. 9.2 F-G, 9.2 J-K).
•Auxiliary output: ideal for external device

C. PULSE mode
The output is active (relay energized) for the programmed pulse width each time the programmed pulse volume is measured by the flow sensor
(sec 9.2 H-I, 9.2 L-M).

•Relay outputs: ideal for metering pump or solenoid valve control (sec. 7)

Totalizer function
The output emits an adjustable signal pulse width for each whole engineeing unit measured by the flow sensor (also displayed on totalizer).
To enable the totalizer function, the operator must set the relay or auxiliary pulse volume setpoint to 1.0000 (sec. 9.2 H, 9.2 L).

8.3 Totalizer reset (sec. 5): This feature allows the operator to reset the totalizer with a dry switch contact closure at any time. The external reset
switch overrides software security feature (sec. 5).
8.4 4-20 mA output (sec. 6): The 4-20 mA output is internally powered by the instrument. 4 mA and 20 mA setpoints are fully adjustable within
the programmed flow range (sec. 11 B). The output can also be reverse spanned.
8.5 Relay 1 and 2 outputs (sec 7): Relay outputs 1 and 2 can be independently configured as Low alarm, High alarm, Pulse or Totalizer output.
Refer to diagrams A - C above for operation details.
8. Output Functions
This section gives a detailed description of all 5500 output functions.
8.1 Sensor pulse output (sec. 3): This output emits an open-collector frequency equal to the sensor input. The output connects directly to a second
+GF+SIGNET instrument for expanded process control with a single sensor input (sec. 3.1). The output is an open-collector type that requires an
external pull up resistor and power supply for other instrument inputs (sec. 3.2).
8.2 Auxiliary pulse output (sec. 4): The auxiliary output can be configured as Low alarm, High alarm, Pulse or Totalizer output. Output logic can
be selected for either active low (factory default) or active high operation (sec. 9.3 J). The auxiliary output is an open-collector type that requires an
external pull-up resistor and power supply to operate. Refer to diagrams A - C below for operation details.

operator to reset the displayed total at the press of a button.
• CALIBRATE Menu (sec. 9.2): The CALIBRATE menu contains all
critical display setup and output parameters. A simple security code
feature prevents unauthorized tampering. The operator is required
to enter a simple access code for menu access. The same code
also unlocks OPTIONS menus.

Display Problem Solution
-- -- -- -- Display timebase too large Change flow timebase (S=Seconds, M=Minutes, H=Hours, D=Days) in
CALIBRATE menu to a smaller value (e.g. GPDto GPM)
Check settings Relay 1 pulse width too large Reduce Relay 1 pulse width setting (sec. 9.2 I) or increase pulse volume
for Relay 1 for frequency input or pulse setting (sec. 9.2 H)
volume too small
Check settings Relay 2 pulse width too large Reduce Relay 2 pulse width setting (sec. 9.2 I) or increase pulse volume
for Relay 2 for frequency input or pulse setting (sec. 9.2 H)
volume too small
Check settings Auxiliary output pulse width too Reduce auxiliary output pulse width setting (sec. 9.2 M) or increase pulse
for AUX output large for frequency input or pulse volume setting (sec. 9.2 L).
volume too small
Must be between Relay 1, Relay 2, or Auxiliary output Enter volumetric setpoint within 0.0001 - 99999. engineering units
0.0001 - 99999 (AUX) pulse volume setpoint must be (sec. 9.2 H or 9.2 L)
within 0.0001 - 99999.
Must be between Relay 1, Relay 2, or Auxiliary output Enter pulse width within 0.10 - 999 seconds (sec. 9.2 I or 9.2 M)
0.10 - 999 (AUX) pulse width must be within
0.10 - 999 seconds
Flow K-Factor Flow display K-Factor cannot be Enter K-Factor greater than zero (sec. 9.2 C)
can not be zero zero
Total K-Factor Totalizer K-Factor cannot be Enter K-Factor greater than zero (sec. 9.2 E)

SETUP READ ERROR Power fault occurred while saving Press any key to reload factory defaults then reprogram flow system setup
Press any Key setup menu entry parameters. Note: totalizer displays remain undistrubed and will
resume after instrument reset.
