INSTALLATION RULES
The module has been designed for vertical installation on an IEC EN 60715 omega guide. For optimal
operation and long working life, adequate ventilation must be provided. Avoid positioning cable ducts or
other objects so that they obstruct the ventilation slots. Avoid mounting modules over equipment
generating heat. Installation in the bottom part of the distribution board is recommended.
OMEGA IEC EN 60715 guide installation and removal.
Insertion onto the IEC EN 60715 guide:
1) Move the four hooks on the back of the module
outwards as illustrated in fig. 1b.
2) Rest the module on the OMEGA guide.
3) To secure the module to the OMEGA guide,
tighten the four hooks on the side of the IDC10 rear
connector as shown in fig. 1a.
Removal from the IEC EN 60715 guide:
As shown in figure 1b:
1) Move outwards the four hooks on the side
of the module, with the help of a screwdriver.
2) Extract the module from the guide.
Installation of the display panel (not present in the Z-FLOWCOMPUTER-B version)
Make a rectangular hole with the following
dimensions:
W=119 mm x H=93 mm.
Insert the panel into the hole.
Secure the panel as shown in the figure using all
the screws and fixing brackets supplied.
Be careful not to drop the panel while fixing it, so
as not to damage it.

ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS
Z-FLOWCOMPUTER module power supply
The power supply must be connected to terminals 2 and 3. The supply voltage
must be between 10 and 40V (any polarity), or between 19 and 28 V.
The upper limits must not be exceeded in order to avoid serious damage
to the module.
The power supply source must be protected from any malfunctions of the
module through appropriately sized safety fuse.
Important: On first start-up, the module must be supplied without any
interruptions for at least 72 hours to charge the internal batteries.
Z-FLOWCOMPUTER Digital input 1 (pulsed flow measurement)
Digital input 1 can be connected to a Q flow,
V Volume or digital mass/weight sensor with pulse output.
Z-FLOWCOMPUTER analog outputs 1 and 2
Voltage The Z-FLOWCOMPUTER module has two voltage or current configurables
analog inputs.
Input 1 is used for Q flow measurements.
Input 2 is used for P pressure or T1 temperature measurements.
The figures show some sensor connection examples.
