Cable length open collector mode
For the “open collector” mode, the maximum cable length depends on the cable parameters,
pull-up resistance used, the maximum frequency to output, and frequency input parameters
being driven. The following table provides estimated cable lengths for different pull-up resistor
values and different Max Frequency settings in the meter using the following cable parameters.
The table also provides an estimated cable voltage drop which indicates how much voltage will
be across the cabling and effectively indicates to what voltage level the frequency input can be
pulled down to by the frequency output.
If the voltage drop is higher than the voltage required for the frequency input to see a LOW
state, then the configuration will most likely not work for your system. Performance of
Frequency Outputs will vary from this table with setup and frequency input being driven.
The 22 AWG wire characteristics are as follows:
• Capacitance = 20 pF/ft or 20 nF/1000 ft (between two wires)
• Resistance = 0.0168 Ohms/ft or 16.8 Ohms/1000 ft
• Pull-up voltage is 24 VDC
Digital outputs
The Daniel Mark III Ultrasonic Gas Flow Meter provides four digital outputs arranged in two pairs.
The first pair is comprised of DO1A and DO1B; the second pair is comprised of DO2A and DO2B.
Each digital output is individually software configurable for content and polarity (see
Section 5.6.10).
The maximum digital output cable length is 2000 feet.
