Product Selection Guide

Programmable Counters & Timers
Available with red or green display.

    
 1. Frequency & Rate Meter
 

Two independent scalable pulse-input channels from 0 Hz to 1 MHz. Channels may be combined arithmetically. One channel can display total while other displays rate. High read rate for control applications. Ideal for use as a tachometer or readout of a turbine flow meter.

Frequency & Rate Meter

 2. Totalizer (pulse input)
 

Two independent scalable pulse-input channels. Count up or down to a preset at rates up to 1 MHz. Scaled rate and total from the same electronic counter. Scaling for direct readout in engineering units, such as gallons or cubic feet based on counts from a turbine flow meter. One channel can display total while the other displays rate.
 3. Totalizer (analog input)
 

Displays and totalizes 0-1 mA, 4-20 mA, or 0-10 V process signals. Square root extraction is standard for flow applications, allowing display of volume from the 4-20 mA signal of a flow transducer with a linear or squared output.
  
 4.
Dual-channel ratio and draw meter with arithmetic capabilities 
A+B, A-B, AxB, A/B, A/B-1 Draw Meter
 

Arithmetic functions (+, -, /, x) on dual pulse-input channels. Add or subtract rates from two flow meters for combined scaled flow or volume. Display the ratio of flow rates, RPM of rollers, or speed of moving belts. Display draw, obtained by subtracting 1 from ratio, to indicate elongation or shrinkage of material between rollers.
 5. Batch Controller (pulse input)
 

A low-cost controller for repetitive fill operations. Provides a flow meter input and two built-in relays: a Prewarn relay to slow to down the pump near a preset to avoid overshoot, and a Batch relay to stop the pump at the preset. Fill cycles repeat after a programmed time interval or based on an external input.
 6. Batch Controller (analog input)
 

Same capabilities as the Laureate pulse-input batch controller, but for 0-1 mA, 4-20 mA, or 0-10 V process signals, as made possible by a voltage-to-frequency (V-to-F) converter. Square root extraction is standard for use with flow meters.
