Model Comparisons
The Type A/B 68-6006 (10600601) is the upgraded version of the legacy 68-6001 series. While older boards often required separate modules for pulse processing and digital I/O, the 10600601 “Combo” architecture consolidates these features, reducing the physical footprint within the flow computer chassis. Furthermore, the Type A/B revision offers improved transient voltage protection compared to the standard Type A, making it more resilient against electrical surges commonly found in remote pipeline installations.
Operating Tips
- Jumper Configuration: Before installation, verify the onboard jumper settings to match your specific meter type (e.g., set for “Active” vs “Passive” pulse inputs) to prevent hardware mismatch errors.
- Firmware Sync: Ensure the OMNI 6000/3000 firmware is updated to a version that supports the 10600601 hardware revision; older firmware may fail to recognize the board’s secondary diagnostic registers.
- Shielding: Always terminate the flow meter cable shields at the designated ground bar rather than the board terminals to minimize electromagnetic interference (EMI) on the high-frequency pulse channels.
