7.4 Configuring the frequency input
Frequency input parameters define how the frequency input is used to represent process data.
Frequency input parameters are listed and defined in Table 7-15.

Table 7-15 Frequency input parameters
Variable Default Description
Flow rate units kg/min Select the desired unit of mass flow or volume flow. See Table 7-4.
Scaling method Frequency = flow • Select frequency = flow, pulses/unit, or units/pulse.
• The frequency input has a range of 0 to 20,000 Hz.
Frequency 1000.000 Hz If Frequency = flow is selected as the scaling method, enter the frequency (or
pulse rate), in Hz, that represents the configured flow rate.
Flow 999.9999 kg/min If Frequency = flow is selected as the scaling method, enter the flow rate that is
represented by the configured frequency.
Pulses 60.00 pulses If Pulses/unit is selected as the scaling method, enter the number of input
pulses that represents one mass or volume unit.
Units 0.0167 kg If Units/pulse is selected as the scaling method, enter the number of mass or
volume units that is represented by one input pulse.
K-factor 1.0000 • The K-factor is used for proving a Model 3300 or Model 3350 controller, for
which meter factors are not available. To calculate the K-factor, see the
following example. The resulting value must be between 0.0001 and 2.0000.
• The entered value serves as a scaling factor for flow rate outputs and
displays.
