Binary channel settings
A total of 8 binary channels are ready to record the state on binary input PV1 to
PV4. Both switching on and off of a potential-free contact or an open-collector
output of a connected sensor can be recorded. The change of state of the binary
channel is stored in the unit's memory with a resolution of 1 sec.
This parameter has the same meaning as for analogue channels, i.e. it is displayed
on the display, appears in the text of the SMS message and is transmitted toge-
ther with the measured values to the PC and the server for further processing.
The "Custom Inputs" mode, allows to select the binary input to which the mo-
nitored signal is connected in the following parameter "Input". The H1 has a
total of 4 inputs connected to the terminals of the connection board. The first
two inputs PV1 and PV2 have an integrated HW counter and are therefore ma-
inly used to monitor the instantaneous flow from connected pulse water me-
ters. Inputs PV3 and PV4 are for connection of "slow" pulses from the rain gauge
or binary signals (monitoring of building entry, float switch status, motor opera-
tion, pump failure, etc.).
The binary input is inactive in the normal state. When the input is connected to
a ground terminal (relay contact, open collector), the input is activated and a
logic one is recorded in memory along with the time and date of the switching.
When the pulse ends and the input returns to its normal state, a logic zero is
stored in memory. In some cases, it may be appropriate to swap the logic sym-
bols so that a logic zero is stored at the beginning of the pulse and vice versa.
For these cases, the "Negation" option is available.
Option for recording state changes on binary channels. Disconnection or discon-
nection of a contact, breach of security of the object and other reasons leading
to a change in the state of one of the binary inputs will be recorded in the me-
mory of the station immediately after the event occurs, including the date and
time with a resolution of seconds. The
Basic Archiving Interval
parameter does
not apply to binary channels.

By pressing the right
mouse button over the se-
lected channel you can
copy, paste or delete its
parameters
You can change the
stored variable from
ON to OFF when the
input is switched on
The Mode option offers
the following options:
Own inputs:

PV4)
Read from device:
bi-
nary channel states of the
connected device.
Channel name will
be displayed on the
display and in SMS
(diacritics will be au-
tomatically suppres-
sed before sending
SMS)
Do not set for inputs that
change state frequently
