Reed Switch: Reed Switch is a 2-wire device which
triggers by magnet inside the rotors as they spin. To
maximise the life of the reed switch, the pulse board
comes equipped with a 1k8Ω current limiting resistor
in series.
Hall Effect Switch: Hall Effect switch is a 3-wire
device which triggers by south pole of the magnet
inside the rotors as they spin. This switch is NPN
type. The switch circuit is equipped with a 4k7Ω pull
-up resistor between signal and supply.
Reed Switch
Hall Effect Switch
The Below 3 configurations are available with Standard, Industrial and DIN pulse caps
 Configuration 1 Reed and Hall Effect Sensors

Cable Specifications for Standard/Industrial Pulse Cap
Minimal cable specification recommended for wire:
 5 core, 24 AWG each
 drain wire AND shielding/ copper braiding
 Temperature rating: -20 - 80 °C
 Voltage rating: 300 V
- Maximum cable length should not exceed 60 metres.
- If cable is extended and/or longer than 10m, it is highly recommended to use 24V power supply for Hall
Switch and reed switch.

* MXD-xCx-HH generate Quadrature Pulse Output
- Industrial Pulse Cap Temperature (-25 °C -120 °C)
- IP 67
Industrial Pulse Cap is fixed to the flow meter and
does not incorporate M-lock feature. It comes with
Conduit Entry to facilitate customers for own wiring.

The Industrial Pulse Cap comprises of 3 major
components.
1. Industrial Pulse Cap
2. PCB (sensor board)
3. Secure Base Plate
In order to access the PCB, or for the removal/
replacement of the complete Pulser Module, the
Following procedure applies.
Disassembly/Reassembly
 Remove the 4 socket head cap screws holding
the Industrial Pulse Cap to the Base Plate.
Take care not to lose the gasket.
 Lift the Pulse Cap to expose the terminal block
for the connection/disconnection of the signal
cables.
 The PCB can be removed by loosening the
two screws securing it to the Base Plate.
Note: It is not necessary to remove the PCB if
the objective is to remove the complete base
plate (see next step)
 To separate the Base Plate from the Flow
meter body, remove the stainless steel Cir-
clip.
Reassemble by reversing the above sequence.
* Industrial Pulse Cap Housing material “Aluminium” to be fitted to flow meter having Aluminium Body
* Industrial Pulse Cap Housing material “SS 316” to be fitted to flow meter having SS 316 Body

DIN Pulse Cap

DIN Pulse Module Output Type (MXD-xx)
DIN Pulse Module incorporates the M-LOCK (¼ turn) mounting system. It provides a locking facility for added
security against unauthorised removal. A locking screw is supplied with DIN pulse cap to accomplish the job by
fitting module to the flow meter using M-lock feature and replacing the existing screw with locking screw.
During initial installation of the locking screw, the screw will need to pierce the bottom of the pulser.
This will enable the screw to „lock‟ into the plastic cam that is fixed to the flow meter.
The available options are:
 DIN Module with 1 x Reed and 1 x Hall effect sensor (MXD-RH)
 DIN Module with Dual Hall Effect sensors (MXD-HH)
 DIN Module with Dual Reed Switches (MXD-RR)
The DIN Pulse Modules accommodates the choice of either a field mountable connector facility, or a fixed (M12)
connection cable.
 M12 DIN plug and socket complete with 5 core cable.
 Field attachable socket with 5 position screw terminals
M12 DIN cable Field attachable socket/connector
