Example 1 NPN Open-collector Output with Pr oximity Switch Figure 3 shows a 3-wire proximity switch taking +24 V excitation from the meter with an NPN open-collector signal output connec ted to the input module as frequency with no filter ing.
The input header is set to SINK connecting the signal output to +24 V via an on-board 10 k pull-up resistor. As the proximity switch is activated, the signal is forced to ground.

Setting Up IF05 for BL-40F and DL-40F Frequency
Meters
To set up the IF05 input module f or frequency input in a Leopard BL-40F or DL-40F frequency meter, carry out the following procedures:
Step 1
Establish the scale factor for the desired display reading
Maximum Display Range
Input Frequency
x Required Display Reading
= Scale Factor
Step 2
Set the new scale factor
Step 3
Select the range for the desired display reading
Step 4
Select the decimal point position
Frequency Meter
Calibrated
Step 1 Establish the Scale Factor Establish the scale f actor for the desired displa y reading. The default scale factor is 9999. If you want the scale f actor to be anything other than the input frequency or m ultiples of 10 of the input frequency, then a new scale factor must be established and set.
For example:
If we had an input frequency of 4 Hz and required a displa y reading of 400 counts, then the scale factor would not change from 9999.
But, if we had an input frequency of 4 Hz and required a displa y reading of 120 counts, then the scale f actor would be 2999. To establish a new scale factor, carry out the following calculation:
Maximum Display Range
(Default Scale Factor)
Input Frequency
Required Display Reading = Scale Factor
Example:
9999
x 120 = 2999

Step 2 Set the Ne w Scale Factor If the scale factor has to change, enter the meter calibration mode and set the new scale factor. See Figure 11 Calibration Logic Diagram.
Step 3 Select the Rang e for the Desired Display Reading The range multiplier and the decimal point position settings allo w you to set the the display resolution to suit the desired di splay reading. The range multiplier allows you to display the reading using either a x1, x10, or x100 range setting. For example, if you had a 4 Hz frequency input and wanted it to display as 400, you would choose the x100 range multiplier.
But, what if you had a 4 Hz input and wanted it to display as 120. First you would need to establish and set the new scale factor. Then you apply the same pr inciple as you would for 4 Hz to displa y 400 counts. 4 Hz is a single digit n umber and you require it to be displayed as 120 counts. 120 counts is a 3-digit number, so you effectively apply the x100 range multiplier, but because of the new scale factor, instead of displaying as 400 it is displa yed as 120.
Table 1 shows how to use the range multiplier for a range of frequency inputs where the scale factor has not been changed. If the scale factor is changed, the number of digits shown depends on the range multiplier chosen.
Note, the decimal point sho wn on the displa y at this point is not the setting f or the decimal point, but merely a means of displa ying the range multiplier setting.

Step 4 Select the Decimal P oint Position The decimal point can be set to one of three positions on the display or not displayed at all.
This allows you to display a 4-digit reading as a full number (xxxx), a 3-digit reading to one decimal place (xxx.x), a 2-digit reading to two decimal places (xx.xx), or a 1-digit reading to three decimal places (x.xxx).

To set up the IF05 input module f or rpm input in a Leopard BL-40RPM or DL-40RPM meter, carry out the following procedures:

Calibrated
Step 1 Establish the PPR for the Sensor The sensor has an output r ated in pulses per revolution (PPR). You will need this setting f or the next step.
Step 2 Set the PPR in the Meter Enter the meters PPR and range setting mode and set the pulses per revolution you require (PPR output of your sensor). See Figure
12 PPR & Range Setting Logic Diag ram.
Step 3 Set the Displa y Resolution After you have set the PPR setting, enter the range [rG] menu and select the resolution setting you require from one of the three ranges available.
Range Setting 0.1
This setting pro vides you with a resolution of 1 digit after the decimal point. For example, if y our PPR setting is 1, then y our display reading would be 1.0. If your PPR setting is 25, then y our display reading w ould be 25.0. The maximum PPR in this r ange is 999.9 rpm.
Range Setting 1
This setting provides you with a resolution of 1 to 1. For example, if your PPR setting is 1, then your display reading would be 1. If your PPR setting is 25, then y our display reading would be 25. The maximum PPR in this range is 9999 r pm.

Range Setting 1000
This setting provides you with a resolution of 2 digits after the decimal point. For example, if your PPR setting is 1, then y our display reading would be 1.00. If your PPR setting is 25, then y our display reading would be 25.00. The maximum PPR in this range is 99.99 rpm.
