1. Introduction
IZM 972 is a latest-generation microprocessor-controlled pulse counter. The pulse counter is built
using the most modern SMD technology. A 75X-family NEC microprocessor ensures that the pulse
counter keeps working perfectly for over 6 years. IZM 972 can, of course, work together with all sizes
of volumetric measuring units. It is designed for wall mounting.
A non-volatile memory backs up all determinative data at regular intervals so that it cannot be lost. All
devices also have an optical interface for mobile data acquisition as well as programming the most
essential parameters.
In combination with our read-out systems, an internal loop memory (data logger) allows access to
further data which is not retrievable on the display, e.g. the previous month's values.
The pulse counter is provided with 3 inputs. High frequency electronic meters as well as standard
meters with reed sensors can be connected to the first pulse input. All kind of conventional meters with
reed pulse output – for example most of the commercial water, gas and electricity- meters can be
connected to both additional inputs.
The additional connections however have a multi-function, i.e. they can be programmed not only as
inputs but also as remote meter outputs.
Due to its integrated clock with calendar, critical date data is also no problem for the IZM 972. The IZM
972 is able to save up to 70 previous month's values in its internal datalogger which can be read or
transferred remotely via the critical date menu.
Further designs are available as an optional extra for all imaginable measuring tasks. Thus a large
number of devices can, for example, be provided and read via the Bus. Here, it is just as possible to
take a reading on site as it is to transfer remotely by telephone network directly to a PC. For more
straightforward applications, a standard RS232 version can also be supplied which, however, enables
only one device to be read respectively.
The pulse counter is already prepared for transferring data via radio networks too.
Irrespective of the design, with IZM 972 you have at your disposal a perfected top-grade product which
fulfils almost your every wish.

3. Performance specification
3.1 Volume calculation
In each measuring cycle which is currently programmed to 60 seconds, a calculation

is performed. This occurs however only if pulses have also arrived since the last
cycle.
When parameters are set in the factory or at the testing site, a pulse valency is
programmed into each IZM pulse counter, e.g. 10 l/Imp. This must be in accordance
with the volumetric measuring unit which later supplies the volume pulses,. Only in
this way can it be guaranteed that the energy is also calculated correctly. Otherwise,
this can under certain circumstances be too large or even too small by a factor of 10
or 100.
In the case of conventional volumetric measuring units with a reed contact, the
volume is calculated by multiplying the incoming pulses by the programmed pulse
value:
volume [l] = number of pulses [ Imp] * pulse valency [ l/Imp]
In the case of high-speed meters, usually newer electronic meters, the volume is
calculated by dividing the number of pulses by the pulse valency, since the pulse
valency is given or programmed here as a reciprocal value (Imp/l).
The values for the pulse valency may in both cases lie between 0.0001 and 99999.
The calculation of the volume can occur always in l/pulse as well as in pulse/l. Both
are always possible! Example: 100l/pulse= 0,01 pulse/l
In the case of standard meters, however, certain ranges of values have won through,
usually representing decimal multiples of 1 and 2.5, e.g.:
1 ; 2.5 ; 10 ; 25 ; 100 ; 250 ; 1000 l/Imp
volume [l] = number of pulses [ Imp] * ____________1__________

pulse valency [ Imp/l ]

3.1.1 Slow-speed meters
By slow-speed meters we usually mean purely mechanical meters with a reed

contact. For this, a pointer or a pointer disc with one or more magnets is fitted to the
counter which rotate past a stationary reed contact, thereby starting off a calculating
process. The pulse valencies which can be realised usually lie within the range
already mentioned of between 1l and 2.5l as well as decimal multiples of this. The
pulse frequency achieved in this way is relatively low and usually lies below 1 Hz.
Slow-speed volumetric measuring units should comply with the following conditions:
Minimum frequency 0.001 Hz
Maximum frequency 1 Hz
Mark-space ratio 1 : 1 ... 1 : 5
The above conditions apply correspondingly to the two additional counter inputs.
Only slow-speed meters may ever be connected to these.
3.1.2 High-speed meters
High-speed meters usually measure the revolutions of the turbine directly or of the
meter roller. Most also have additional segments or pallets, so that the pulse rates
delivered correspond to twice or four times the speed of the turbine.
The frequencies generated by such meters are correspondingly high and can be
anything up to 100 Hz. Due to the higher frequency, it is possible for the pulse
counter to make a more exact and certain flow rate calculation, as is the case with
the slow-speed meters.
High-speed meters may only be connected to the input 1. With the IZM 972, it is
possible to power such meters by fitting a battery onto the connection board as an
option.
The following conditions exist for the high-speed meters:
Minimum frequency 0.001 Hz
Maximum frequency 100 Hz
Mark-space ratio 1 : 1 for 100 Hz

3.2 Flow rate calculation
Calculating operations, such as the calculation of the flow rate, require a lot of time,
and thus use up a relatively large amount of battery capacity. In normal operation,
therefore, only an approximate calculation is performed which is perfectly adequate
for a fundamental consideration of the values described. If, for example, one reaches
the representation of the flow rate when switching through the menu, the first
calculation displayed is only about 7% accurate.
From this time on, however, an additional function is called up which continues to
allow the flow rate to be calculated more accurately until the change of day at 0.00
a.m.. This means that after the flow rate measurement has been called up once via
the INFO key, the calculating operations are performed more frequently and with
greater accuracy. Assuming a constant flow rate over a longer period, an accuracy of
0.5 % is achieved, which can be accepted as being completely sufficient.
Should the flow rate change within a short time by more than 12 %, the assumed
accuracies will again move in the magnitude of 7%, as greater calculating accuracy
cannot be achieved with highly fluctuating flow rates. After the flow rate has
changed, the accuracy of calculations again increases to the 0.5% mark.
After the change of day mentioned above, the additional function automatically
switches off and is not activated again until the flow rate menu is called up via the
display or key.
7
3.3 The LCD display
The display is a liquid crystal display with 8 positions for displaying the consumption
values and many special characters for the units and state indicators.
This information can be retrieved using the INFO key. In its normal state, the meter is
located in the so-called main menu and displays the quantity of the medium that
should be measured or the volume. If an error has been detected by the counter, the
main display is replaced by the display of the detected errors. This is important for
the user as only in this way can he recognise immediately that an error is present. By
pressing the INFO key once, the counter switches back to the main display.
Different pieces of consumption and information data can be brought to the display.
Due to their greater clarity, these have been compiled in four different groups. A
group is designated as a display level or a menu.
To get from one level to the next, hold down the INFO key for several seconds.
One can switch through the functions within one level by pressing the INFO key for a
short time. If the end of a level has been reached, press it again to return to the start
of the display sequence. If a menu option which is being viewed is not switched
through, the display automatically jumps back to level 1 of the main display after
approximately 30 seconds have expired.

3.3.2 The main menu
Error display
If operating errors are detected by the IZM, these are analysed and displayed. This
occurs via a multi-character error code, where all currently active error or error codes
are added and simultaneously displayed. The error display becomes the main
display at that moment and is displayed constantly so that the existence of an error
can also be registered directly.
If no error has been detected in the system, this display is not available, i.e. this
cannot be activated also by pressing the INFO key.
The complete error description and the associated codes are described in detail
further below.
Volume
This value displays the accumulated consumptions. The units, along with the post-
decimal positions, are selected so that they do not overflow within a billing period.
Volume, additional meter 1
Display in square metres, litres or unit-less
The counter features two additional counter inputs for any meters with reed pulse
outputs contact water meters as standard. The volume of each additional meter is
recorded and can be called up on the LC display. The meter which is connected to
the input unit IO1 is represented on the LCD, as shown above, by a "1" and a
hyphen. This is followed by the consumption which is recorded in m³ or in litres (l)
depending on programming. It is additionally possible to also display the counter
reading without units. This would, for instance, be practical if other events are to be
counted.
11
Volume, additional meter 2
For additional meter 2, the same applies as already described under additional meter
1.
Segment test
Display of all available segments
If individual segments of the LCD fail or remain on, a value could have been greatly
falsified and therefore incorrectly read. For this reason, the counter offers this
segment test. In the test, all available segments are switched on and off again so
that the display flashes. It can now be checked whether the LCD is still functioning
without errors.
Flow rate
In its normal state, the flow rate calculation is not completely processed for energy-
saving reasons. Thus only a result with an error of a few per cent is available. If you
are located in the flow rate display though, the calculation is processed completely
and after approximately 50 seconds a result is available with an error less than or
equal to 1%.
Operating hours
The operating hours begin to be counted when the calculating unit leaves the idle
state it is in on delivery. This state is overridden by first pressing the INFO key.
12
3.3.3 The critical date menu

The critical date menu can be recognised by the arrow on the right.
Critical date
The critical date is the point in time at which the consumption of the first mounted
meter and the consumptions of both additional meters are saved so that they can be
retrieved at a later time. This enables billing always at the same time of year, and the
reading time can be later. The date is programmed as standard to 01.08. This means
that the data is stored in the transition from 31.07. to 01.08. at 0.00 a.m..
The critical date can also be programmed at the customer's request to any other day.
It is also possible to carry out this change in the system on site using special
software.
Volumes of the main meter and the additional meters 1 and 2 on the critical
date
Additional meter 1 display in m³, meter 2 works without units
Date of last remote reading
In the case of a remote reading (bus, modem, optical reading head etc.), the current
date and the consumption at the time of the reading is stored. This allows the
landlord to check the consumption on the day of the last remote reading when
preparing invoices.
13
Current date and time
It is not possible to switch from a summer to a winter setting. The date and time can
also be programmed or corrected on site as required.
Customer-specific number
Each customer has his own number available with a maximum of 6 positions. It is
stored permanently in the EEPROM. This number can be recognised by the
preceding "C-". The allocation can be programmed at the factory or by means of
appropriate software on site. The number is set to "0" as standard.
3.3.4 Configuration menu

The configuration menu can be recognised by both arrows on the right and left.
Pulse valency main meter
This displays the pulse valency for the volumetric measuring unit, for which the
calculating unit is programmed. It is essential that this matches the volumetric
measuring unit, as otherwise fatal errors can arise in the energy calculation. For this
reason, the value is likewise identified on the type plate. What is decisive however,
as has already been mentioned several times, is only the programmed value. This
should always be checked in case of doubt. With conventional volumetric measuring
units, the pulse valency displayed is given in "l/Imp". For high-speed volumetric
measuring units, "Imp/l" are displayed. The display itself has 8 positions and up to a
maximum of 7 post-decimal positions can be entered.
Pulse valency, additional meters 1 + 2
Imp/l
For the pulse valencies the additional meters 1 and 2 apply the same conditions as
for recording the volume normally. The input is however limited to 6 positions. In
addition, only a display in "L/Imp" is possible.
14
Type number
Various equipment features of the IZM as well as software parameters are encoded
in the type number which allow the type which was supplied to be identified. This is
however only possible for skilled technicians.
Baud rate, bus
The baud rate is an important interface parameter for all devices which want to
communicate with the pulse counter via the bus. It must match for both partners.
Further parameters are specified as follows:
8 data bits, 1 stop bit, parity even
Short address, bus
With this address the calculating unit can be addressed directly and used to send the
read-out data. The valid addresses are limited from 1 to 250 in a bus network. The 0
means a new device which still has not received a bus address. The addresses can
be individually assigned using configuration software, whereby the same address
cannot be assigned in the same bus.
Date "battery empty"
This date corresponds to the point in time when the battery is probably so empty that
operation could be impaired. This only applies, however, if the measuring instrument
is used in absolutely continuous operation. Should the incoming volume pulses occur
less frequently than the off-period of the temperature measurement, the discharging
of the battery is less and lasts beyond this date.
15
3.3.5 The test menu
The test menu can be recognised by the arrow on the left.
Volume, high-resolution
This display is a high-resolution test display for the volume with which relatively fast
statements can also be made on site using the measuring system. The display
window is simply shifted to the right in order to display the positions which normally
cannot be seen. What happens then, however, is that if the counter reading is
correspondingly large, the top positions of the display can under certain
circumstances no longer be seen.
Software version
The present software version of the IZM is shown here. It serves to identify older
devices. This allows the manufacturer to provide a faster service in the case of
certain errors in the calculating unit.
Input diagnosis
This test display can be used to visually represent different input states of the
measuring system without any other resources.
Example:
No volume pulse at additional meter 2

1 pulse received from additional meter 1
No pulse at the input of the meter
16
3.4 The state displays of the IZM pulse counter

The state the IZM is currently in is made known by three segments in the display.
The individual displays have the following meaning:
→ These three segments are used for the state display.
→ No display. The meter is in normal state. Currently only

volume is counted and any pulses are output.
→ This display appears only briefly if particular functions are

carried out, such as flow rate calculation, etc.
→ The optical interface is scanned. If this display is visible, a

connection set-up can be started via the optical interface.
→ The optical interface is in receive mode. A connection set-up

was detected. data can be transferred to the pulse counter.
→ Data is sent via the optical interface from the calculating unit
to the reading device.
→ The bus supply is active. Queries can be processed by the

bus.
→ The calculating unit responds to queries from the bus.
→ Test mode is active.
Apart from the actual state display, the asterisk indicates in each state whether
pulses are currently being received. If a pulse is detected at one of the three possible
pulse inputs, the asterisk is activated for approximately 0.5 seconds. It can also not
be recognised when a pulse occurs, how long the pulse lasts or from which input the
pulses have been received.
→ Pulses were received.
17
3.5 The memory of the pulse counter (EEPROM)
The pulse counter IZM 972 requires a non-volatile memory, an EEPROM, to back up
of all set parameters, to temporarily store the most important data during operation
and to save the daily back up unit (every day at 23 o’clock) which allows to identify
the day and the time of a possible failure of the pulse counter.
It also contains the internal data logger which enables about 70 monthly values to be
stored and read at any given time. These values are updated every month, so that
the last consumption data to the first of the month are always in the memory. The
reading itself can only happen via the interfaces by means of PC or hand-held
computers.
The non-volatile memory has the following fundamental structure :
e.g. critical date, date, battery service life,

Parameter serial number , model designation, pulse valencies, etc.
time interval, date and time last backup, data info

Loop memory
configuration
data saved at 23 o'clock

Day back-up block
all data saved on the critical date

Critical date data block
Error monitoring date and time of the first errors, error hours etc.
18
3.6 Additional memory modules
The standard version of the IZM 972 is equipped with a data logger of approximately
250 bytes. With this memory, the volume (8-position per month), for example, can be
stored for about 70 months. This memory is often not sufficient and therefore the
calculating unit can also operate external memory. This additional memory card is a
possibility for saving the consumption information. A maximum of up to 4 different
values are stored at intervals of one minute for up to 1 year, whereby the duration of
storage, until the loop memory starts again from the beginning, still only depends on
the size of memory. To make effective use of the memory, the storage width of a
value which is to be stored can also be selected between 2, 4, 6 and 8 positions, for
the smaller the storage intervals which are selected, the fewer positions have to be
stored.
After being plugged in, each memory card must be adapted to the configuration of
the calculating units. To activate the memory card, quit menu level 4 by pressing the
INFO key for approximately 5 seconds. A small triangle pointing downwards in the
display then becomes active if the memory is detected as correct. If the loop memory
is incorrectly configured, the error message "Err10000" appears or, if there are
hardware problems, the error "Err20000".
Possible data (max. 4 may be selected): Possible storage intervals:
• Volume • every 10, 15, 30 minutes

• Additional meter 1 • every hour
• Additional meter 2 • every day 00:00 a.m.
• Flow rate • every year
• Error • every week to the Monday
• every Monday to the 1st
• every quarter
• every year

3.7 Pulse input of main meter
The main meter that should be recorded is normally connected to terminals 11 and
12 of the pulse counter. Special input wiring then ensures the perfect recording of
the pulses which come from the generator. Since the wiring of slow-speed and
conventional meters with reed contact looks different to that of high-speed electronic
systems, there must be a corresponding conversion via software.
The input filter has to make sure that for conventional slow-speed meters up to 1 Hz
the input arrangement is adapted to a pulse duty factor of 1:5. By high-speed meters
up to 100 Hz, the input arrangement should be adapted to a pulse duty factor of 1:1.
The mark-space ratio describes the relation between switch-on time and switch-off
time.
3.8 Further pulse inputs
A characteristic feature of the IZM 972 are the two further inputs and outputs. These
can be used very flexibly. If the pulse counters are supplied as normal standard
instruments, two additional inputs are programmed with a pulse valency of 10 l/Imp
in each case. Slow-speed meters with reed contact can be connected to these
inputs, e.g. a cold and a hot water meter. The consumption and critical date data can
be retrieved or queried remotely via the display.
The display of the pulse counter can now be programmed so that the unit shown can
be cubic metres (m³), litres (l) or also without a unit. The unit-less display is designed
for any simple pulse counting of external events.
Each of these inputs can now be programmed be individually as an output also. This
means that one can have two inputs (EE) or two outputs (AA), or also one input and
one output (EA) available.
20
3.9 Further pulse outputs

The additional pulse outputs allow to transfer the volume or an eventual error of the
pulse counter to an other external meter or to an PLC-control system in case the
information is required on a different place.
3.9.1 Presentation of outputs
The two inputs or outputs are designated as IO1 and IO2 to improve identification.
The maximum frequency at each output is 1 Hz.
The following functions can be realised at output IO1:
Output for volume of the volumetric measuring unit
1 Hz signal (second pulse)
For output IO2 the following applies:

Output for volume of the volumetric measuring unit
volume of the meter at IO1
continuous signal if error detected
Pulse rate and unit
The following tables show the relation of the pulse rates of the main volume input, of
the energy unit and of the corresponding output pulse rate. The indicated values
correspond to the standard configuration of the calculating unit as is normally
supplied. But the units and pulse rates can be individually reprogrammed with the
software PcRead S1 or Dialog S1.
Pulse rate of the Unit main Output pulse

main volume volume rate main
input volume
1 L / Imp 00000.001 m³ 1L
2.5 L / Imp 00000.001 m³ 10 L
25 L / Imp 000000.01 m³ 100 L
10 L / Imp 000000.01 m³ 10 L
100 L / Imp 0000000.1 m³ 100 L
250 L / Imp 00000001 m³ 1 m³
1000 L / Imp 00000001 m³ 1 m³
21
3.9.2 Timing of the outputs

Course of the signal
The outputs always send pulses with an output frequency of 1 Hz and a pulse duty
factor of approx. 1:1:
3 … 50
0V
tp tp 400 ms < tp < 600 ms
Normally, synchronous to the further switching of the last position in the display, a
pulse is also output via the output. In certain cases where the output frequency
would exceed the maximum frequency of 1 Hz, the second position must be deviated
to. In the case of the energy display, this would look, for example, as follows:
If the display changes with less

than 1 Hz (1x/second) at
maximum energy flow, this
decimal place will be used for the
control of the output. It means
that if the last place of the LCD
changes, the pulse will be sent.
If for example the frequency is

higher than 1 Hz, the second to
last decimal place will be used for
the control of the output.
The outputs are fundamentally designed so that both battery-operated meters and
PLC controls can be connected.
Battery-operated meters can have inputs with any impedance, since the supply in
very high-impedance meters is adopted by the calculating unit itself. C-Mos inputs
with a current consumption of less than 3 µA can be controlled directly by the energy
meter.
22
PLC inputs are normally designed for a voltage of 24 volt and a current of 10mA.
These values are completely fulfilled. It should only be noted that a LOW-switching
input of the PLC is required. A user should also be aware that the output of the
calculating unit is not saved, as is otherwise common for PLC controls, against all
possible errors. In order to determine which valency is output at the output, the
configuration menu (level 3) will be used. This menu can only be seen, however, if
the port was programmed to output. The display menu for the outputs has the
following fundamental structure:
" X - OC YZ"
X stands for the corresponding output channel
X=1 means the values for the IO1 stand here
X=2 means the values for the IO2 stand here
OC stands for Open Collector and indicates that the output functions are described
here.
Y corresponds to the position which is output at this output.
Y=0 or 1, means that the last position is output
Y=2 means that the second-to-last position is output.
Z corresponds to the function which is output:
1- energy
2- volume (volumetric measuring unit)
3- additional volume IO1
4- second pulse
5- error signal (continuous level)
Here are a few possibilities of both output wirings:
1 - OC 12 last position of the volume is output at IO1
1 - OC 22 second-to-last position of the volume is output at IO1.
1 - OC 04 1 Hz Signal is output at IO1.

3.9.4 Galvanic division of the outputs
If we talk about galvanic division of the outputs, very often we relay connection.
Relays have a high power consumption which normally can not be provided by a
battery-operated pulse counter. But for IZM a relay connection is not necessary. As
the complete pulse counter has no conductive connection to its environment, it is
galvanically divided from its environment. The pulse counter takes over the potential
of the outputs. Notes: Both outputs have to work with the same potential.

3.10 Link to the outside world - the interfaces
4 different interfaces are available:

- the infra-red interface on the left corner of the front.
- the RS232 interface (standard PC-interface)
- the Zenner Bus interface (RS485)
- the Mbus interface (standard Metering Bus of the meter sector)
In principle all interfaces use the same protocol which means that the datas to be
read-out are handled according to the same pattern.
Furthermore is valid:
„If the optical interface is active (the INFO key on the pulse counter has been
pressed), no data transmission via a bus system is possible for a short time”: if at the
same time a read-out occurs via another interface, no data can be received.
2 5
3.10.1 The infra-red interface
In order to read the meter data quickly and with certainty, or to set individual
parameters of the calculating unit on site, each pulse counter is fitted with an optic
interface - the infra-red interface. With the aid of an optical reading head (available
as an accessory) the meter data can now be read with the widest variety of devices
such as a laptop, PC or with our portable reading system, "PSION workabout". The
interface is located on the front side of the pulse counter, in the bottom left corner,
and can be recognised by the broken circle with the heading "Data". The reading
head can be mounted here briefly.
Normally however, the infra-red interface is disconnected for in order to save energy.
To quit a data transfer, the INFO key needs to be pressed. The interface is now
active. If no signal is detected, the scan is terminated 10 seconds after the key has
been pressed.
If a signal is waiting at the time of scanning, the interfaces switches to optic receive.
This means that the receiver remains switched on permanently and the
microprocessor works at full speed in order to be able to receive and process data
from the optic interface. This state remains active for 10 seconds and is extended by
a further 10 seconds with each character which is detected free of errors.
The following procedure is necessary when reading:
1. Mount infra-red head in bottom left corner; cable must lead away downwards
2. Switch on reading device and prepare for reading
3. Press INFO key at energy meter
4. Start read command at reading device within 10 seconds
After transfer is completed, the interface becomes inactive after 5 seconds
26
3.10.2 RS232 interface
For pure point to point connections, i.e. only one pulse counter is linked to one
reading device, an RS232 variant is also available (Option BR).
With this option a few terminals are additionally placed on the left half of the
connection board. The appendix contains a detailed connection diagram.
An individual information sheet can be requested for handling the communication
protocol.
A point-to-point link is also possible with a standard device. The optical reading head
and the M-bus protocol can be used for this. Handling the telegrams which are
necessary for this is described in the information sheet "MBus-protocol with point-to-
point link".
3.10.3 ZR-bus interface

One disadvantage with MBus systems is that feeding devices or repeaters must
always be used, even if only a few devices are to be networked. These feeding
devices are relatively expensive. Smaller networks are therefore hardly worthwhile.
To remedy this, the ZR-bus was developed. This is an RS 485 bus. The meters are
simply networked with each other and guided at the end to a connection socket.
From this, the network can be completely read by means of a reading device.
3.10.4 The MBus interface

As an option, the pulse counter is also available with a fitted MBus interface (Option
BM). If the calculating unit is connected to the bus, it is possible to supply power
continuously via the bus. The battery is disconnected at that moment from the meter
and only becomes active again if the bus fails. Since it is now no longer necessary to
check the capacity of the battery, the measuring cycle is therefore reduced to 10
seconds.
The same applies for calculating the flow rate which in this way can work with an
error rate of less than 1%.
In the case of MBus devices, two more terminals are mounted on the connection
board. The row of terminals is extended to the left by two bright blue terminals for
connecting the bus.
The optical interface is not operated when in MBus state. Data can only be
transferred via the connected bus. However, this interface is always in receive mode,
and it is not necessary to press a key before transferring data. Further details about
the bus can be found in a separate brochure.
27
3.11 Power supply with battery

Two types of battery are basically available for supplying the energy meter. For
standard devices, type AA lithium batteries are used. The capacity of the battery is
sufficient for a service life of at least 6 years.
In the case of MBus devices, a lithium thyonil chloride battery with a higher rated
voltage is usually used, namely 3.6 V and approximately 2.3 Ah.
After an operating period of 6 years, the battery must be replaced on all accounts, as
otherwise the pulse counter ceases to work. After 6 years, a "battery empty" symbol
appears in the top left-hand corner of the display to announce that the battery must
be replaced (see display menus). In addition, the end of the rated service life of the
battery can be read in the configuration menu (data "battery empty").
3.12 External power supply

Each pulse counter which features an Bus oder an RS232 option can be supplied
with a standard mains unit.
28
3.13 Diagnosis of the inputs

This display reflects the current state of the most important inputs. It is resident in the
test menu (level 4). Each position of the display can only show a "0" or a "1" and is
assigned to one input exactly in accordance with the following table. This allows the
functions of the pulse generator such as the volumetric measuring unit and additional
meters to be tested. The other testing possibilities are of interest to skilled
technicians only. The display is to be interpreted as follows:
1xxxxxxx reed switch at the input of the main meter closed

0xxxxxxx reed switch at the input of the main meter open
x1xxxxxx reed switch at additional input IO1 closed

x0xxxxxx reed switch at additional input IO1 open
xx1xxxxx reed switch at additional input IO2 closed

xx0xxxxx reed switch at additional input IO2 open

xxxxxx0x rest level at serial data input
xxxxxxx1 main meter can process max. 100 Hz (fast VMT)

xxxxxxx0 main meter can work with max.1 Hz(Reed or sim.)

4. Connection possibilities
Individual terminals are provided on the connection board for connecting meters. To
test the pulse counter and to connect the additional memory, which must not always
be accessible, there are additional plug-type connections on the circuit board.
Furthermore there is room on the connection board for another battery (type ½ AA),
with which, for instance, electronic meters or volumetric measuring units can be
supplied.
