■ Electronic Register Specifications
Item Description
Display
① Accumulated total ow (8-digit)
② Instantaneous ow rate, L/h (mode: b1)
③ Instantaneous ow rate, L/min (mode: b2)
④ Resettable total ow (zero start/zero resettable, mode: C) (7-digit)
Function
① Low battery alarm (Low battery indicator “ ” ickers below 3.0V)
② LCD with 7-segment, 14mm-high characters (background color: orange)
③Flow indicator (10-segment)
④ Simulated output: set any accumulated total or instantaneous ow rate for simulated outputs (unfactored, factored, and analog)
⑤Protection against erroneous wire connection
Register accuracy Total ow: ±1 count, Instantaneous ow rate: within ±1% of full scale
Display orientation 150° range in 15° steps (From horizontal position: upward 75°, downward 75°)
Flow detection Magnetic sensor detects alternating magnetic elds. Response frequency 200Hz max.

Capacity Allowable current: 20mADC, Max. voltage applied: 30V
Pulse type Factored Unfactored
Pulse width 1ms, 50ms, 100ms, 250ms (※1) 2ms (xed)
Alarm output
(optional)
Output type Open drain (equivalent of open collector)
Capacity Allowable current: 20mADC, Max. voltage applied: 30V
Alarm
output point
Up to 2 points
(“High alarm instant ow rate” or “Low alarm instant ow rate” can be set with any value for each output point)
Analog output 4 to 20mADC (load resistance: see P.11 “acceptable load resistance range”)
Cable 1 meter of vinyl-sheathed, 4-conductor (individual elements 0.25mm2, φ6.3 O.D.) cable furnished (standard)
(Not furnished with models without pulse generator)
Transmission distance 1 kilometer max. (when CVVS: 1.25 to 2.0mm2 cable is used)
If using both analog output and pulse/alarm output, the transmission distance is 100m max. (when CVVS: 1.25 to 2.0mm2 cable is used)
Power source (※2)
Battery pack or external power source
Battery pack Lithium battery: 3.6VDC 5400mAh Battery life: 8 years (varies with operating conditions) Storage life: 10 years
External
power source 12 to 50VDC±10% Pulse output : Current capacity 10mA or more
Analog output : Current capacity 30mA or more
Ambient temperature range -10 to +60℃ (no condensing)
Material Polycarbonate (black)
Conguration IP65 (Install under the eaves)
※1: Adjustable with button operation within the range of 1 to 999ms in 1ms increments. Shown above are default settings.
※2: Display functions and pulse output functions can be used just with the dedicated battery pack without an external power source.
(With an external power source, there is no need to worry about the battery life. The power will be automatically switched to battery power in case of power shut-down.)
An external power source is necessary for analog output.
Selectable with MODE switch
■ GENERAL
FLOWPET-5GisanOVALowmeterprimarilyintendedfor
use in boiler feed water and fuel oil metering applications.
Field proven accuracy and long life along with the best price/
performance and ease of use make this industrial meter ideal
as a dedicated tool for heat control.
■FEATURES
1. Available in two product families - for water service and fuel
oil service.

select switch. The display angle can be adjusted for better
visibility (Adjustable range: 75 degrees upward, 75 degrees
downward).
3. The electronic register equipped models have an internal battery
(good for 8 years); eliminates the need for an external power
source. (Operation on external power source is recommended for
the pulse output models.)
4. Improved display capabilities compared to the previous EG
register.
