Wiring Procedure1. Remove 13 mm to 16 mm (0.5 in. to 0.625 in.) of insulation

from the end of the wire to be connected to the transmitter.2. Press the orange terminal lever all the way down with a

small screwdriver to open terminal jaws.3. Insert wire into terminal until it bottoms out.4. Release the orange terminal lever to secure the wire

in place.5. Gently pull on each wire to ensure a good connection.

Wiring TipsDo not route the sensor cable in conduit containing AC power wiring. Electrical noise may interfere with sensor signal. Routing the sensor cable in grounded metal conduit can help prevent electrical noise and mechanical damage.Seal the cable entry points to prevent moisture damage. Only one wire should be inserted into a terminal. Splice double wires outside the terminal.

Recommended: All wiring should only be performed by a certifi ed electrician.

Pull tabs to run sensor off of battery power.

Terminals 7–8: System PowerWhen 12 to 24 VDC is applied to terminals 7–8, the batteries will provide back-up power during power loss. A regulated power supply MUST be used. Maximum current draw is 300 micro-amps.

Terminals 9–10: Pulse OutputPulse Output requires regulated 12 to 24 VDC from an external power supply. Maximum current sink of 50 mA.

Wire the transmitter for all connections with the power off. Keep any Pulse Output devices that are connected to it offl ine at this time.

A K-Factor is the number of pulses a sensor will generate for each engineering unit of fl uid which passes the sensor. K-factors for water are listed below in U.S. gallons and liters. For example, in a 1-inch PVC pipe, the Rotor-X Paddlewheel generates 174.67 pulses per gallon of water passing the rotor. K-factors are listed for pipes up to 8 inches.

K-Factors



This menu displays:

• Flow K-Factor value currently used to determine fl ow rate. Or• Custom Flow K-Factor (above). Or• Automatic Flow K-factor resulting from Auto CAL (calibration) feature (page 13).

The K-Factor is the ratio of pulses per unit of fl ow. This ratio represents the number of pulses generated by the fl ow sensor for each measure of water that moves past the sensor.

NOTE: This value cannot be changed from this menu. See above to change Flow K-Factor.

View Current Flow K-Factor


The Auto CAL feature allows the AgRotor Totalizer to be adjusted to match the fl ow rate of an external reference meter.*Maximum calibration allowed is 10% of the current Flow K-Factor setting. See page 12.Recommended for best results:

• Flow in the pipe should be as stable as possible for best results• If the displayed fl ow rate is erratic, set Speed (see page 17) to 120 seconds for the Auto CAL procedure.• The Timebase (Sec, Min, Hour, Day) on the reference meter and the AgRotor Totalizer must be the same.

Example: AgRotor Totalizer displays 60 GPM, while an external reference displays a true fl ow rate of 65 GPM.Auto CAL can be used to adjust the AgRotor fl ow K-Factor automatically to correctly display 65 GPM.

1. Hold ENTER for 2 seconds, enter Security Code 8-1-5-0, and press ENTER. Press three times to display the Auto CAL menu.

NOTE: If "LOC" is displayed on the Auto CAL menu, it must fi rst be unlocked before use. See page 14. 2. Press once to select the Auto CAL function. The current fl ow rate will begin fl ashing. For maximum accuracy, wait at least 2

minutes before proceeding to the next step. 3. Press once to change the fl ow rate.

"Auto CAL" will be replaced with 'Set Flo' and the fi rst digit of the current fl ow rate will begin fl ashing.


5. Press fi ve times to change the '0' to '5'.

With SPEED set to 0 (zero) and with SENSITIVITY set to 1, the fl ow rate may be very unstable.This line represents the actual output of the fl ow sensor as it responds to unstable fl ow conditions in the pipe.

With SPEED set to 60 seconds and SENSITIVITY set to 1 the fl ow rate is stabilized, but a sharp change in fl ow rate is not represented for 60 seconds or longer.

With SPEED at 60 seconds and SENSITIVITY set to 6, the fl ow rate is stabilized, while the sudden shift in fl ow is refl ected very quickly.
