The HIT-1 (Hoffer Intelligent Transmitter) is a loop powered intelligent flow rate transmitter. The transmitter is compatible with all Hoffer turbine flowmeters and the H.O.G. series positive displacement flowmeters. The transmitter can accept a low level frequency signal, a pulse signal, or a contact closure on the input and provides a linearized 4-20 mA current output which is proportional to the flow rate. The HIT-1 is fully configurable with K-factors, frequencies, and timebase being configured via the RS232 communications port. The configuration and monitoring can be performed using any PC based communications program (e.g., HyperTerminal) or ASCII terminal. The transmitter is housed in an aluminum enclosure and can be mounted directly on a flowmeter or wall mounted using an optional NEMA 4X or EX enclosure. An optional DIN rail mounting bracket is also available for mounting on a standard DIN rail
