QUICK SET-UP GUIDE  
1)  
2)  
Determine what function the panel meter is to perform, e.g., rate display with alarm, batch  
control, totalizer, etc.  
Ensure compatibility with sensor. The DPF70 panel meters require a pulse (or contact  
closure) input. The pulse must exceed 3 VDC and drop below 1 VDC. If necessary, as in the  
case of paddle wheel, turbine meter or other types of inductive pick-up sensors, a signal  
conditioner or pulse amplifier (such as FLSC-AMP) can be used.  
3)  
The wiring is explained on pages 3 and 4. The 12 VDC output can be used to power the  
FLSC-AMP. For the DPF75, a single input at pin 5 can be jumpered to pin 6: input B will be  
the grand total.  
4)  
5)  
The relay function can be altered by cutting and/or soldering jumper traces as shown on  
page 5.  
There are two main operating modes: RUN, PROGRAM. (See page 6 for a summary). In the  
RUN mode, the view key allows you to toggle the display for rate, batch and grand total. The  
PRE A, PRE B keys allow you to see and set the relay trigger points. The lock key allows you  
to lock and unlock the keypad functions by entering the lock-out code.  
The PROGRAM mode must be accessed to set up the function of the display. In this mode,  
the RST key enters the displayed value into memory. The PRGM key toggles the selections  
and the arrow keys bump that digit up to the next value or change the decimal point location.  
PROGRAMMING EXAMPLE  
For this example, let's assume you have an FP-5300 paddle wheel sensor, an FP-5310 1" fitting, the  
FLSC-AMP pulse amplifier and DPF75. You want to see flow rate (GPM) batch and grand total. The  
signal K-factor is 183.66 pulses/gallon, (from the manual for the FP-5300 flow sensor). Here are the  
programming steps you will see, starting on page 1.  
FACTOR STEP 1: DPF75, DPF76, & DPF78  
A,)  
B.)  
C.)  
D,)  
Set the decimal point for "dPFA" to allow two decimal places using the UP arrow key.  
Enter the K-factor next: 183.66, using the arrow keys.  
Do the same for "dPFB" (DPF75 only).  
Choose "HI CPS", as the input will exceed 40 Hz (DPF78 only).  
ii  
COUNTER STEP 2: DPF75, DPF76:  
A,)  
B.)  
C.)  
Reset to zero "rST 0" will allow us to count up. "SET Pr" counts down from the preset value.  
To read the total in whole gallons, set the decimal point to the far right.  
Since you do not want to sum or take the difference of two inputs, choose "A SEP B" (DPF75  
only).  
D.)  
The frequency will exceed 40 Hz, so you will need to select "HI CPS". "LO CPS" provides  
debounce filtering for contact closures.  
RATE STEP 3: DPF75, DPF78  
A.)  
B.)  
C.)  
D.)  
E.)  
Select "SCALE" to engage the K-factor.  
Select "=60".  
Normalize at 1.5 seconds.  
Set 4 significant figures.  
Set 02 sec delay.  
LOCK STEP 4: DPF75, DPF76 & DPF78  
Before you finish this step, write down your personal lock-out code and store it in a safe place. Here  
is where you select and enter the code and what will be locked. To lock the meter you must wait until  
you are in the RUN mode. Press the "LOCK" key, use the arrows to display your code, then Enter.  
Repeat to unlock.  
RELAYS STEP 5: DPF75  
The DPF76 relays can only trigger on batch or total. The DPF78 relays can only trigger on rate. The  
DPF75 relays can be programmed to trigger on rate or total. The relay setpoints for rate or total for  
all versions with relays are set with the PRE A and PRE B buttons. When the relays are set for non-  
latching, the batch total will automatically reset at the batch preset. The programming is now com-  
plete. Here is what you will see with 100 Hz input frequency (equal to 32.66 GPM flow rate). The  
rate is: "r 32.66". The batch will continuously increase: ("480"); the grand total will also continuously  
increase ("...4.8.0"). Notice that the decimals points for the grand total are inverted - all are lit except  
where the decimal point is actually located.  
To read total gallons to a tenth of a gallon: in Step 2, change the dPLoC to allow one decimal place  
"XXX.X" for the counter. But this will cause a shift in the rate display so you will also need to shift the  
K-factor in Step 1. Change the K-factor to 18.366 to read the correct units. Now the 100 Hz signal  
will yield "r 32.66", "480.0", ". . 4.8.00.".

DESCRIPTION & SPECIFICATIONS  
DESCRIPTION:  
Analog Output:  
The OMEGA DPF70 is a dual input (channel A and B) counter/  
ratemeter, each with its own 5 digit dividing scale factor. The two 5  
AMP preset relay outputs can be programmed by the user to apply  
to the "A" total counter, the "A" ratemeter, or the "B" counter or the  
net total of A and B inputs. The user can view the Net Total of  
"A+B", the Net Total of "A-B", the rate of A, or A and B counters  
separately. The "DPF75" version shows rate and total (as de-  
scribed above). The "DPF76" is exclusively a counter and the  
"DPF78" is exclusively a ratemeter.  
SPECIFICATIONS:  
An optional 4-20mA (0-20mA) output is available for  
the DPF70 series. The output can be programmed  
to track rate or total. This feature is available by  
adding suffix A to the part number. Connections are  
via a 2 terminal pluggable screw connector.  
Programming is accomplished by using the front panel  
in conjunction with rear dip switches.  
Accuracy: 50uA worst case.  
Compliance Voltage: 3 to 30 VDC non inductive.

If the serial interface option is supplied, up to 99 units can be linked  
together. (The terminal addressing the unit must be capable of  
driving all loads in the loop.) Unit status and new set points can be  
communicated by serial communication. Mode changes, however,  
must always be made on the front panel. Data is transmitted at  
selected baud rates using standard seven bit ASCII characters and  
parity with two additional bits of “Start” and “Stop” to make up the  
standard ten bit character.  
Data is received and transmitted over standard EIA RS232 or  
RS422 levels. Each 10 bit character is made up of a start bit, 7 bit  
ASCII code, parity bit and stop bit. Unit number, baud rate and  
parity are entered in the “Program Setting” set up mode and remain  
in memory even if power is off.

HOW TO MOUNT THE UNIT  
The unit is designed to be mounted with a gasket providing a water tight seal. Two mounting brackets are provided to  
secure the unit to the panel. A panel less than .1" may distort if the clamps are screwed too tightly.  
Slide the body of the unit through the rubber gasket. Insert the unit into the panel. As shown in "FIG. A", slide the brackets  
up the groove to press against the back of the panel. Insert screws into rear of brackets and tighten them evenly and  
alternately. Do not over tighten! A normal level of torque is required. Maximum torque should be 3" pounds.  
This product is designed to be panel mounted and is NEMA 4 rated if proper mounting procedures are followed and the  
required and supplied hardware is correctly used.  
If the panel in which the unit is mounted is less than .125 of an inch thick, the possibility exists that there will be some  
flexing. Should this flexing occur, the resulting deformation of the panel could cause a loss of the water tight seal. In case  
this should occur, the use of silicone or other sealant would be recommended.  
This product is designed to the NEMA 4 rated. However, the fact that we are unable to control either the location in which  
the device is installed or the actual installation itself requires that the company's liability shall extend only to the repair or  
replacement of a defective product.  
We are prepared to offer additional assistance in those special situations where normal mounting methods do not seem to  
satisfy the customers needs. This assistance may be obtained by calling the factory and asking for Application Engineer-  
ing.

WIRING  
The rear terminal contains 12 screw terminals for connecting #14 to #28 gauge wire.  
The unit is controlled by a microprocessor and, therefore, an electrically "noisy" environment could cause operating  
problems. The input power line should not be common to power lines for motors, pumps, contactors, etc.  
The unit is designed to be immune from line or RF voltage interference. In some environments voltage spikes of over 100  
volts, even 1000 volts, can occur. When common to a power line driving motors voltage fluctuations can be extreme and  
rapid. Lines driving DC or AC solenoids, relays, or actuators can also cause problems.  
Four sources of noise can occur:  
1) AC power line noise - If the unit cannot be connected to a clean power source, an inductive load suppressing device  
(MOV as GE # V130LA1 or Resistor Capacitor as Paktron # .2 uf/220 ohm @ 400V) can be installed. Although locating  
the suppressor across the AC supply at the unit should help, best results are obtained by connecting the suppressor  
across the leads of the "load" at the device causing the spike.  
2) Input line noise -The noise is carried on the input and D.C. ground lines. Make sure the input wires are never run into  
the unit in a bundle with power input lines. Also, keep these input lines isolated from inductive lines from devices  
drawing heavy loads. If there is a possibility of electrical noise, we recommend using shielded cable, with the shield  
being hooked to the D.C. ground terminal on the instrument, and to "earth" at one point in the circuit, preferably at the  
D.C. ground terminal of the unit.  
3) Output lines - The unit has two relay outputs. When these outputs are used to run external relays or solenoids, spikes  
can be generated upon activation. This noise can spread through the instrument causing operating problems. If the  
source is a D.C. operated device, a general purpose diode (IN4004) placed across the solenoid prevents electrical  
noise spikes. Connect the cathode (banded side) to the more positive side of the coil. If the source is an A.C. operated  
device, use a MOV or Resistor Capacitor across the coil.  
4) 12 VDC output supply - Noise can be generated on the 12 VDC output supply if it is used to drive inductive loads or if  
the current draw exceeds 50 mA. Insure that all inductive loads have a diode (such as IN4004) across the coil and that  
the current does not exceed 50 mA.  
UP/DOWN CONTROL AND QUADRATURE INPUTS  
QUADRATURE INPUT:  
When programming the counter section for quadrature input, you must set the unit for A net B and A sub B (see step 2 in  
programming section). This insures proper operation. The rate can only be viewed in one direction. If the unit is a  
ratemeter only (DPF78), connect only one of the quadrature channels to Input A (pin 5).  
UP/DOWN CONTROL:  
When using the up/down control option, Input A (pin 5) is the count input and Input B (pin 6) is the up/down control  
(direction) input. The counter must be set for A net B and A sub B (see step 2 in programming section).  
When the direction input is high (4-30VDC) the count inputs will count up, when the direction input is low (open or less than  
1VDC) the count inputs will count down. The direction input must precede the count input by 1 msec when the unit is set for  
low CPS and 1 usec when set for high CPS.  
3
CONNECTING AC / DC POWER  
NOTE: Connect power only after other connections are finished. Do not touch the live AC power terminals! The unit has  
been designed with an isolated AC input. Thus, polarity is not a concern for the AC input. The chassis is plastic, therefore  
earth ground is not used. For D.C. operation, connect + 12V to pin 7 and - D.C. to pin 8.

Sub B mode. Input B will add (count up) in A Add B mode.  
SET TO PRESET - Counter will reset to preset A. Input A will count down from preset A. Input B will count  
up (add) in "A add B" mode and input B will count down (subtract) in "A sub B" mode.  
DECIMAL POINT LOCATION - Enter desired location of decimal by pushing the button under the digit where  
the decimal is desired. Changing the decimal will change the decimal location in the A & B counters as well  
as the rate display.  
NET RESULT OF ADDING OR SUBTRACTING A & B INPUTS  
A & B INPUTS ARE SEPARATE - A & B are not added or subtracted.  
A SUBTRACT B - The number of scaled pulses from Input B are subtracted from the number of scaled pulses  
from Input A. (-99999 TO 999999)  
A ADD B - The number of scaled pulses from the A Input are added to the number of scaled pulses from the  
B Input.  
HIGH COUNTS PER SECOND - This sets the unit for high count speeds (0-9.99KHz)  
LOW COUNTS PER SECOND – This sets the unit for contact debounce filtering (0-40Hz)  
PORTION OF MENU FOR SETTING RATE VARIABLES  
RATE PER SECOND - The display will read in rate per second.  
SCALING - Allows unit to display rate per minute or rate per hour.  
DIVIDE K FACTOR BY 60 - This sets the unit for rate per minute; equal to 60 times rate per second.  
DIVIDE K FACTOR BY 3600 - This sets the unit for rate per hour; equal to 3600 times rate per second.  
NORMALIZING FACTOR - Normalizes (averages) the data being received. Higher settings provide more  
normalizing (averaging) for a more stable display. Derived from the equation:  
(Old Data x "NOR" + New Data)  
("NOR" + 1)  
SIGNIFICANT FIGURE - This sets the amount (1-5) of meaningful figures the unit will display. (RATE DIS  
PLAY ONLY). FOR EXAMPLE: If "2" is set as the figure, a rate of 273.45 will be displayed as 270.  
DELAY FACTOR - The amount of time (02 to 24 sec.) the unit will "look" for valid data, before the display  
defaults to zero. (RATE DISPLAY ONLY)  
7
LOCK - This portion of the menu allows you to:  
1) lock the program (presets are still accessible)

RELAY - This portion of the menu allows you to set your relay operation variables.  
RELAY A FOR TOTALIZER - When this is selected relay A will activate when the net total has reached  
Preset A ("A NET B" Mode ). Relay A will activate when the total of input A reaches preset A ("A SEP B"  
Mode).  
RELAY A FOR RATE - When this is selected relay A will activate when the Rate of input A equals or exceeds  
preset A when in "A NET B" or "A SEP B" mode. The relay will drop out when the rate of A falls below preset  
A.  
RELAY A DURATION - This message will appear when "A TOT" is selected. It is the duration which the  
relay will remain energized (00.1 to 99.9 sec). If 00.0 is selected, the relay will latch until reset. When the  
duration is not at 00.0, the unit will autorecycle.  
RELAY B FOR TOTALIZER - When this is selected relay B will activate when the net total has reached preset  
B ("A NET B" Mode). Relay B will activate when the total of input B has reached preset B ("A SEP B" Mode).  
RELAY B FOR RATE - When this is selected relay B will activate when the rate of input A equals or exceeds  
preset B when in "A NET B" or "A SEP B" mode. The relay will drop out when the rate of A falls below preset  
B.  
RELAY B DURATION - Follow same procedure as A ##.#.

CALCULATING SCALE FACTORS  
There are two separate dividing scale factors, one for input "A" and one for input "B". The factor to enter is the number of  
pulses per the desired unit of measurement. The factor ranges from 0.0001 to 99999. The factor is the same for rate and  
count on input "A". Because the "units per second", "minute", or "hour" are field programmable from the keypad, scale  
factor calculations for the ratemeter are easy. Here are some examples:  
SCALING FACTOR EXAMPLES:  
BATCHING:  
You want to count the number of batches (10 boxes each) being loaded onto a pallet.  
Solution - Dial in a scale factor of 10.  
UNIT COUNTING: You pick up a notch on a paper roll (1 pulse per shaft revolution). Each revolution equals 3 feet. To  
find the number of pulses per foot, simply divide "1 pulse" by "3 feet" (1÷ 3 = .3333).  
Solution - One foot equals 0.3333 pulses, enter this as the scale factor and the display will read in feet.  
RATE: The shaft of a motor has a flywheel with 10 spokes. A prox switch is mounted to sense 10 pulses per revolution.  
RPM of the shaft is the desired readout.  
Solution: Enter a Factor of 10 and for every 10 pulses, "1" will appear on the display. Set rate per  
second, minute or hour as desired.  
A conveyor carrying bottles must be controlled for bottle speed. For each revolution of the front roller, three bottles  
travel by. Thus, one revolution equals 3 bottles. A wheel with seven spokes is mounted on the roller. The user  
can't sense bottles because they are traveling through a washer, so a sensor is placed at the roller, sensing seven  
pulses per revolution of the shaft, which equals 3 bottles per revolution.  
To calculate the scale factor (7 ppr ÷ 3 bottles) = 2.3333 scale divider. Set rate per second, minute or hour as  
desired.  
A flow meter is generating 52.6 pulses per gallon. The desired readout is in liters. Since there are 3.785 liters per  
gallon, divide 52.6 by 3.785 to find the number of pulses per liter (52.6 ÷ 3.785 = 13.897).  
Enter 13.789 as the scale factor so the display will read in liters.  
An aluminum sheeting plant has a cut to length application to customer specification. A ten pulse per revolution  
encoder with a 12" wheel is used to sense. The travel of aluminum sheets is in inches. Thus, after 10 pulses, you  
want 12 to appear on the display. Thus, 10 ÷ 12 = .8333. Enter .8333 as your scale factor.

OUTPUT WIRING  
The following diagrams detail the connection of the relay and analog output options. Each relay consist of a form A contact  
(Normally Open). NPN transistor or Normally Closed contacts are available with solder jumpers (see Jumper Options).  
SOLENOID (Single Stage)  
Use Relay A (pins 1 & 2) for single stage preset. When the count or rate (selectable) reaches Preset A, Relay A will  
energize. When Relay A closes, current passes through the solenoid for activation. When operating AC solenoids,  
we recommend the use of an MOV to reduce inductive kickback (use a diode for DC solenoids).

ANALOG OUTPUT OPTION  
Description:  
SWITCH 4: Calibrate (normally off)  
An optional 4-20mA (0-20mA) output has been added to the DPF70  
series. The output can be programmed to track rate or total. This  
feature is available by adding suffix A to the part number. Connec-  
tions are via a 2 terminal pluggable screw connector.  
Switch 4 is used for calibration. Calibration is done at the factory  
and should not be needed (see SWITCH 1 to enter high and low  
values). If recalibration is desired, a calibrated 20mA ammeter  
with 1uA resolution is needed. Attach the "+" lead of the meter to  
pin 13 and the "-" lead to pin 14. Set switch 4 ON (up). The unit  
will output approximately 20.000mA and a decimal will light in the  
third position. Read the output using the ammeter. Press PRE A.  
If the display is the same as the ammeter reading, press ENTER.  
If not, press buttons A through E to step to ammeter reading and  
ENTER. (Disregard display which now shows the last count read-  
ing with decimal point in third position) Return switch 4 to OFF  
(down) position.

RS232 & RS422 Operation:  
When the unit is suppled with RS232 or RS422, the analog output  
"low" and "high" settings can be accessed and changed through  
the serial port. The codes are as follows:  
Setup:  
The optional analog output feature uses 4 dip switches on the back  
for setup. These switches are used as follows:  
SW1 - View or change "set low" and/or "set high" values  
SW2 - Select output for rate or total  
AL Unit will display (transmit) analog out "low" value.  
AL(S)XXXXX Unit will load analog out "low" with entered

echo back mode, so that data sent from the terminal will be  
transmitted back for verification. When the unit is "on line",  
use the proper serial transmit commands to request data or  
set a new value. Up to 80 characters of data can be linked  
together and transmitted to the unit in a string as long as there  
is a space between the commands. If an error is made, a  
correction can be made by back spacing and retyping correct  
data before the return (enter) is sent. Once a return (enter) is  
sent, the unit begins processing the data and will transmit the  
requested data on a non-priority basis over the data transmit  
line. A keypad entry or incoming data will halt the data  
communication cycle. Therefore, there should be a pause  
after data is requested to insure that all data has been  
transmitted before making another request or addressing  
another unit. If the unit is not busy, it should not take longer  
than300msectoprocesseachrequest. Tofindthecycletime  
to process and transmit a request, calculate the bit transmit  
time by using this formula: [(1÷ baud rate) x (80) + .005] x  
number of requests made. This time will be extended if the  
unit must service the front keypad. If transmission has not  
started within two seconds after data is requested, it can be

2. Scale factors are incorrect.  
3. Transmitting device is defective.  
4. Wrong debounce filtering selected.  
5. Unit is defective.  
2. Recheck scale factors and factor  
calculations.  
3. Replace transmitting device.  
4. Recheck debounce filtering selection

5. To confirm set scale factors at one  
and connect a wire to pin #7 and  
touch it to pin # 5 (input A). Each  
time pin #5 is touched counter A  
should count once. If not, call  
OMEGA. (this test will not  
work on units with quadrature input)  
Rate is displaying: r FFFFF.  
1. The unit is trying to display a  
number which it can't (too small or  
too large).  
1. Check scaling factor, if it is correct,  
lower the number of significant  
figures.  
2. Line noise affected unit on power

2. Reprogram the unit, be sure to enter  
a decimal (enter one and remove it if  
a decimal is not desired).  
Relays are not activating properly.  
1. Wrong relay duration.  
2. Relay set for wrong activation  
i.e. count instead of rate.  
1. Recheck programmed relay duration.  
2. Recheck programmed relay  
activation mode.

set the relays for rate (DPF75 only).  
2. Set the relay durations to 00.0.  
Various menu items are not being  
displayed.  
1. The menu flow chart and the setup  
steps show the setup for the units  
with rate and total (DPF75). When  
using a unit which has only count  
(DPF76) or only rate (DPF78)  
several menu items will not be  
displayed.  
1. The menu items which do not  
appear are not used for the models  
without the ratemeter (DPF76) or  
without the counter (DPF78).  
Therefore, disregard any menu items  
which appear on the flowchart and  
setup steps, but do not appear on  
the unit's display.
