1. Description
FM-1D/K is a µP-controlled frequency
converter with display.
It converts pulses into proportional cur-
rent for flowrate display.
Input from the pulsers are converted to:
• Standardized current
• Pulse totalization
• LED display

Note:
• max cable cross section is 2.5 mm2
• check power supply voltage before using
• with 24 VDC operation, the polarity is irrelevant

Safety information
When making the electrical connections, it is
essential to disconnect the FM-1 D/K from the
power supply.
The connection of the FM-1D/K is only allowed by
a specialist in accordance to the common safety
standards.

Calibration
After connecting the FM-1 D/K needs to be calibrated:
1. Select With the SELECT- button the programming
parameters can be chosen. The status LED indicates
the actual selection.
2. Change By pressing either the (+) or (-) button the
status LED and the first placed digit will flash. With
the (+) and (-) button the settings can be changed.
To activate the second placed digit the SELECT-but
ton must be pressed.
3. Save To save the chosen settings the SELECT-but
ton must be pressed after changing the last right
hand digit.
The settings will not be lost after a power failure.
Setting example
Water meter WPD DN 80
Pulser Opto OD 01 (1 imp = 1 Ltr.)
Current output 0 ... 20 mA
Max. flowrate 0 ... 100 m3/h
Pulse output 1 Imp. = 1 m3
1. Flowrate range
After switching on, the display indicates ”0000.”.
Pressing either the (+) or (-)-button the FM-1 D/K
changes to the programming mode. The left digit of the
display will flash. Set the digit ”0” with the (+) or (-)-but-
ton. Pressing the SELECT-button changes to the sec-
ond digit. As described set the 2.,3.,4. digit and the deci-
mal point.The display should indicate ”0100.”. The pos-
sible flowrate range is 0.001 ... 9999. m3/h
2. Counter reading
The FM-1 D/K counter reading can be set to match the
counter reading of the water meter. When the upper sta-
tus LED blinks the first 4 digits can be set and when

the lower status LED blinks the last 4 digits can be set.
The setting is identical as described in point 1. The posi-
tion of the decimal point depends on the output pulse
value ( see point 4)
3. Pulser
The setting of the pulse value of the sensor in litre per
pulse. In this example with 1 litre per pulse the display is
to be set to ”0001.”. The possible input pulse range is
0.001 ... 9999. litres/pulse. After the pulse value pro-
gramm the signal mode suitable for the connected pulser.
InPu= Opto OD 01-04 without evaluation of the direction
signal
InPb= Opto OD 01-04 with evaluation of the direction sig-
nal
InPr= Opto OD 01-04 without direction signal
4. Pulse output
For example to set 1 pulse per m3, the display must indi-
cate ”0001.”. The setting is identical as described in
point 1. The possible output pulse value is 0.001 ...
9999.m3. Note ! The output pulse value has to be > to the
input pulse value. At max. flowrate the output pulse rate
must not exceed 1 Hz.
5. Current output
The actual current output range will be indicated at the
display. With the (+) or (-)-button it can be toggled
between 0...20mA and 4...20mA. Pressing the SELECT
button saves the setting.
6. Damping
The damping determines the response time of the cur-
rent output and the flowrate indication.
If there are no special requirements for the response
time please set damping value ”0004”.
Setting 1 - no damping Setting 14 - max. damping

5. Protection
The FM-1D/K can be protected against unintentional
changes to the setting. In the protect-mode all settings
and measuring values can be displayed. Changing the
values is not possible.
Simultaneously by pressing (+) and (-)-buttons and the
SELECT-button, the present mode will be displayed.
display ”LOC 6”
- device in programming mode,
display ”LOC 8”
- device protected.
With the (+) or (-)-buttons modes can be toggled
between ”LOC 6” and ”LOC 8”. Pressing the SELECT
button saves the setting.
6. Test mode
In the test-mode the digital and ana-
logue output of the FM-1D/K can be
checked on the integral counter and flowrate indicator,
without having a pulser connected to the pulse input.
First the firmware revision will be indicated.
By pressing the (+) or (-)-buttons the test mode starts:
The current output toggles, as indicated on the display,
in a 30 second interval between 0(4) und 20 mA. The
flowrate indicator should alternate between ”0” and full
scale.
At the pulse output terminals a pulse will be generated
every 60 seconds. These pulses will be indicated on
the pulse counter.
Pressing the SELECT-button leaves the test mode and
changes into the standard mode.

7. Standard mode
Rapid flashing of all status LED’s indicates incoming
pulses.
The permanently illuminated status LED indicates the
measuring units on the display.
The display can switch between:
• Flowrate indication
At reverse flow direction the display shows “-000” *)
• Counter reading (first 4 digits)
• Counter reading (last 4 digits)
• Pulse value of the pulser input(Sensor)
• Pulse value of the pulse output
• Current output range
• Damping
• Firmware revision (Test)

To protect the FM-1D/K from voltage surges caused by
lightning, installation of an adequate lightning protection
device is recommended.
