Flow sensor not acknowledged [Archive]

I plug the sensor in to the green socket. Assigned flow sensor 1 to connection 1. Calibrated it to 12.4 for my 9000 l/m unit and no flow indicated.

Can anyone tell me what I’m doing wrong

From our P4 Programming manual

7 Flow
ProfiLux 4 allows you to connect Flow sensors to our controller. These can be connected to the permanently installed level inputs 1 or 2 and to ProfiLux Expansion cards with level inputs.

By having the flow sensor connected to the green port, you have it connected to LEVEL 3/4 which is incorrectly connected.
Connect your flow sensor to the purple port, LEVEL 1/2.

Hi!!
To take advantage of the thread ... would it work with the Splitter Cable for Level Sensors (PL-LY)?
Thanks

PL-LY splitter cables can be connected to any LEVEL port.

2 flow sensors can be connected to level 1/2 and to a 4Level expansion card.

Ah! Ok, but, last question, Can I use the splitter, connecting the Flow Sensor and a Level Sensor?
Or in other words, can I connect two different sensors (flow and level) to each end of the splitter?
Thank you very much

Yes, all you have to do is assign them to the correct port

Hi
Will the flow sensor work on Expansion Box which is connected to a P3 ex? My other level ports are occupied

If the expansion box has the PLM-4Level expansion card installed, yes.

I am facing the same problem.
I have mounted to flow sensors with splitter cable on the green connecton (sensor 1/2). On he pruple i am getting a reading on the green i do not get any reading. If I swith cables from flow sensors, i only get reading on the green connection from the splitter cable.
What is the solution to have 2 flow sensor reading on my profilux?
Thank you in advance.

In that case, the splitter cable is also the problem. We will reply to your ticket with more information.
