An external 3 to 15 VDC power supply and 10 kΩ pull-up

resistor is recommended.

recommended.

• 24 VDC Open-collector inputs:

An external 24 VDC power supply and 10 kΩ pull-up resistor is

recommended.

7. Relay Connections

Two internal relay contact sets (COM, NO, and NC) may be used
for external device control. Front panel LED annunciators indicate
the activation status of each relay. Each relay can control up to
two devices simultaneously, as shown. Relay operation modes
include Low alarm, High alarm, Pulse, and Totalizer (sec. 8.5).

Common device connections include:

• Pulse mode - metering pump control

• Pulse mode - solenoid valve control

• Low or High mode - warning lamps

• Low or High mode - bells or sirens

• Low or High mode - external heavy-duty relay

Technical Notes:
**1/8A fuse recommended (customer supplied)
* 4-20 mA output is internally powered (non-isolated), maximum
loop impedance 350 Ω with a 12 V instrument supply voltage,
950 Ω with a 24 V instrument supply voltage.

To isolate output and prevent ground loop problems:

1. Use monitor device with isolated inputs, or

2. Use separate DC supply for 5500 and monitor device, or

3. Power 5500 with12 - 24 VAC step down transformer

Wiring Example Right
Device A IS powered when relay 2 is de-energized (front panel
LED "off"). Power is discontinued when the relay 2 setpoint is
reached (front panel LED "on"). Device B IS NOT powered when
the relay 2 is de-energized. Power is applied after the relay 2
setpoint is reached.

Technical Notes:

• Maximum relay contact ratings: 5 A @ 30 VDC, 5 A @ 125 VAC,
or 3 A @ 250 VAC

• An external heavy-duty relay must be used for devices with
surge currents or operating currents that exceed the above
specifi cations.

8. Output Functions

This section gives a detailed description of all 5500 output functions.

8.1 Sensor pulse output (sec. 3): This output emits an open-collector frequency equal to the sensor input. The output connects directly
to a second Signet instrument for expanded process control with a single sensor input (sec. 3.1). The output is an open-collector type
that requires an external pull up resistor and power supply for other instrument inputs (sec. 3.2).

8.2 Auxiliary pulse output (sec. 4): The auxiliary output can be confi gured as Low alarm, High alarm, Pulse or Totalizer output. Output
logic can be selected for either active low (factory default) or active high operation (sec. 9.3 J). The auxiliary output is an open-collector
type that requires an external pull-up resistor and power supply to operate. Refer to diagrams A - C below for operation details.

A. LOW alarm mode

The output is active (relay energized) when the flow drops below the
setpoint, and is inactive (relay de-energized) when the flow rises
above the setpoint plus hysteresis (sec. 9.2 F-G, 9.2 J-K).

• Auxiliary output: ideal for external device
inputs (sec. 4)

Flow

• Relay outputs: ideal for external warning
lamps, sirens, etc. (sec. 7)

Low setpoint=

Adjustable hysteresis=

Output active (relay energized)=

Output inactive (relay de-energized)=

B. HIGH alarm mode

The output is active (relay energized) when the flow rises above the
setpoint and is inactive (relay de-engergized) when the flow falls
below the setpoint plus hysteresis (sec. 9.2 F-G, 9.2 J-K).

• Auxiliary output: ideal for external device
inputs (sec. 4)

• Relay outputs: ideal for external warning
lamps, sirens, etc. (sec. 7)

High setpoint=

Adjustable hysteresis=

Output active (relay energized)=

Output inactive (relay de-energized)=

C. PULSE mode
The output is active (relay energized) for the programmed pulse width each time the programmed pulse volume is measured by the flow
sensor (sec 9.2 H-I, 9.2 L-M).

• Auxiliary output: ideal for external device control (sec. 4)

• Relay outputs: ideal for metering pump or solenoid valve control (sec. 7)

Totalizer function
The output emits an adjustable signal pulse width for each whole engineeing unit measured by the flow sensor (also displayed on totalizer).
To enable the totalizer function, the operator must set the relay or auxiliary pulse volume setpoint to 1.0000 (sec. 9.2 H, 9.2 L).

8.3 Totalizer reset (sec. 5): This feature allows the operator to reset the totalizer with a dry switch contact closure at any time.
The external reset switch overrides software security feature (sec. 5).

8.4 4-20 mA output (sec. 6): The 4-20 mA output is internally powered by the instrument. 4 mA and 20 mA setpoints are fully adjustable
within the programmed fl ow range (sec. 11 B). The output can also be reverse spanned.

8.5 Relay 1 and 2 outputs (sec 7): Relay outputs 1 and 2 can be independently confi gured as Low alarm, High alarm, Pulse or Totalizer
output. Refer to diagrams A - C above for operation details.

Menus:

• VIEW menu (sec. 9.1): The VIEW menu is displayed during
standard operation. The operator can navigate freely through
the menu by pressing either UP or DOWN arrow keys. The
VIEW menu also offers a resettable totalizer feature that allows
the operator to reset the displayed total at the press of a button.

• CALIBRATE Menu (sec. 9.2): The CALIBRATE menu contains
all critical display setup and output parameters. A simple secu­rity code feature prevents unauthorized tampering. The opera­tor is required to enter a simple access code for menu access.
The same code also unlocks OPTIONS menus.

• OPTIONS Menu (sec. 9.3): The OPTIONS menu contains setup
and display features that are seldom accessed for minor display
or output adjustments.

Display Problem Solution

-- -- -- -- Display timebase too large Change fl ow timebase (S=Seconds, M=Minutes, H=Hours, D=Days)
in CALIBRATE menu to a smaller value (e.g. GPD to GPM)

for Relay 1

Check settings
for Relay 2

Check settings
for AUX output

Must be between

0.0001 - 99999

Must be between

0.10 - 999

Flow K-Factor
can not be zero

Total K-Factor
can not be zero

Reduce Relay 1 pulse width setting (sec. 9.2 I) or increase pulse
volume setting (sec. 9.2 H)

Reduce Relay 2 pulse width setting (sec. 9.2 I) or increase pulse
volume setting (sec. 9.2 H)

Reduce auxiliary output pulse width setting (sec. 9.2 M) or increase
pulse volume setting (sec. 9.2 L).

Enter volumetric setpoint within 0.0001 - 99999. engineering units
(sec. 9.2 H or 9.2 L)

Enter pulse width within 0.10 - 999 seconds
(sec. 9.2 I or 9.2 M)

Enter K-Factor greater than zero (sec. 9.2 C)

Enter K-Factor greater than zero (sec. 9.2 E)

Press any key to reload factory defaults then reprogram fl ow system
setup parameters. Note: totalizer displays remain undistrubed and
will resume after instrument reset.

14. Maintenance

Clean the instrument case and front panel with a soft cloth and mild liquid soap solution.
