2. GENERAL CHARACTERISTICS
Main task of !!"#$ is measurement of instantaneous flow (flow rate), and counting of
total flow (e.g. passage of fluid or gas ), The device can be used as regulator, to control
industrial process. Measurement of instantaneous flow can be indicated in range: 0 to 9999
(plus decimal point) and can be expressed in any scalable user units of flow and three time
measures (second, minute, hour). Total flow can be indicated in range from 0.000 to
4294967295 user units with maximum resolution of 0.00001 units.
!!"#$ can cooperate with flow sensors with current output (0-20mA or 4-20mA).
ensors can be powered from sensor supply output (stabilized, 24VDC +5%, -10% 100mA).
The meter is equipped in 2 or 4 relay outputs or Open Collector outputs, which can be
driven due to instantaneous flow, total flow or batcher counter value. Optionally !!"#$with
two relays outputs (or OC-type outputs) can be equipped with active current output, passive
isolated current output or active voltage output. Build in R 485 interface enables access to all
internal registers, and supports MODBU RTU communication protocol. The controller can be
ordered in two power supply versions.
Modern design guarantees high operational reliability. Front panel is protected from dust
and water spatters.
Additional features:
• alarm preset; alarm signal is released when measurement exceeds measurement range
• direct access to relays thresholds settings, without password,
• batcher mode.

User manual - FLOW METER SPP-94
4.2. ASSEMBLY
- The unit is designed for mounting inside housings (control panel, switchboard)
insuring appropriate protection against surges and interference. Metal housings
must be connected to ground in a way that complies with the governing
regulations.
- Disconnect the power supply prior to starting assembly.
- Check the connections are wired correctly prior to switching the unit on.
In order to install the unit, a 90.5 x 43 mm mounting hole (-$.,$%) must be
prepared. The thickness of the material of which the panel is made must not exceed
5mm. When preparing the mounting hole take the grooves for catches located on
both sides of the housing into consideration (-$.,$%). Place the unit in the
mounting hole inserting it from the front side of the panel, and then fix it using the
brackets (-$&). The minimum distances between the centre points of multiple

4.3. CONNECTION METHOD
Caution
- Installation should be conducted by qualified personnel . During installation all
available safety requirements should be considered. The fitter is responsible for
executing the installation according to this manual, local safety and EMC
regulations.
- The unit is not equipped with an internal fuse or power supply circuit breaker.
Because of this an external time-delay cut-out fuse with minimal possible nominal
current value must be used (recommended bipolar, max. 2A) and a power supply
circuit-breaker located near the unit. In the case of using a monopolar fuse it must
be mounted on the phase cable (L).
- The power supply network cable diameter must be selected in such a way that in
the case of a short circuit of the cable from the side of the unit the cable shall be
protected against destruction with an electrical installation fuse.
- Wiring must meet appropriate standards and local regulations and laws.
- In order to secure against accidental short circuit the connection cables must be
terminated with appropriate insulated cable tips.
- Tighten the clamping screws. The recommended tightening torque is 0.5 Nm.
Loose screws can cause fire or defective operation. Over tightening can lead to
damaging the connections inside the units and breaking the thread.
- In the case of the unit being fitted with separable clamps they should be inserted
into appropriate connectors in the unit, even if they are not used for any
connections.

- If the unit is equipped with housing, covers and sealing packing, protecting
against water intrusion, pay special attention to their correct tightening or clamping.
In the case of any doubt consider using additional preventive measures (covers,
roofing, seals, etc.). Carelessly executed assembly can increase the risk of electric
shock.
- After the installation is completed do not touch the unit’s connections when it is
switched on, because it carries the risk of electrical shock.

–Avoid common (parallel) leading of signal cables and transmission cables together with
power supply cables and cables controlling induction loads (e.g. contactors). uch cables
should cross at a right angle.
–Contactor coils and induction loads should be equipped with anti-interference protection
systems, e.g. RC-type.

User manual - FLOW METER SPP-94
–Use of screened signal cables is recommended. ignal cable screens should be
connected to the earthing only at one of the ends of the screened cable.
–In the case of magnetically induced interference the use of twisted couples of signal
cables (so-called “spirals”) is recommended. The spiral (best if shielded) must be used
with R -485 serial transmission connections.
–In the case of measurement or control signals are longer than 30m or go outside of the
building then additional safety circuits are required.
–In the case of interference from the power supply side the use of appropriate anti-
interference filters is recommended. Bear in mind that the connection between the filter
and the unit should be as short as possible and the metal housing of the filter must be
connected to the earthing with largest possible surface. The cables connected to the filter
output must not run in parallel with cables with interference (e.g. circuits controlling relays
or contactors).
Connections of power supply voltage and measurement signals are executed using the
screw connections on the back of the unit’s housing.

4.4. MAINTENANCE
The unit does not have any internal replaceable or adjustable components available to
the user. Pay attention to the ambient temperature in the room where the unit is operating.
Excessively high temperatures cause faster ageing of the internal components and shorten the
fault-free time of unit operation.
In cases where the unit gets dirty do not clean with solvents. For cleaning use warm water with
small amount of detergent or in the case of more significant contamination ethyl or isopropyl
alcohol.
Using any other agents can cause permanent damage to the housing.
Product marked with this symbol should not be placed in municipal waste. Please
check local regulations for disposal and electronic products.

6. PRINCIPLE OF OPERATION
After turning the power supply on, device ID and software version are showed on the
display, next the controller goes to the measurement mode.
6.1. MEASUREMENT MODE
In the measure mode, device displays instantaneous measurement (flow value or time
per one unit of flow, depending on „-!” parameter value) equivalent to input current, total
flow or batcher counter value.
Displayed value presentation is defined by parameters F-G, FG and FG
with resolution defined by parameters F-!?G, F!?G and F!?G.
... 879 876 543 . 219
“F unit” “F PrEc”
... 876 543 . 219
“F unit” “F PrEc”
Instantaneous flow (flow rate) is displayed in units defined by parameter F-G and
F-G (min., sec. or h), with resolution defined by F!G (max. 3 digits after decimal
point). Device converts measured current to selected units accordingly to conversion
characteristic selected by user. The measurement range equal to the nominal range is called:
nominal measurement range, and the measurement range equal to the extended nominal
range is called: permissible measurement range (Figure 6.1, 6.2).
Figure 6.1. Defi itio s of measureme t ra ges i mode 4 ÷ 20 mA
If the result of measurement exceeds the permissible measurement range, warning G"H"G or
G"@"G is displayed rather than input signal,depends on exceeded value (see description of
