    Degree Days - base temp

    So in this instance, should the base temperature be 30degC (assuming that there is no additional heat gain within the product)?

    Degree Days - base temp

    Yes, We recently insulated the equipment and have seen significant reductions in energy consumed. I have quite a bit of historical data (product quantities, energy consumed, etc). I'm hoping to use the degree days to calculate the energy savings achieved but should the base temperature be set...

    Degree Days - base temp

    Hi guys, I have a basic understanding of degree days and have used them in the past when looking at buildings. I currently have a process that is heating a product to 30degC. The process is located outside so the heating of same is influenced by external conditions. In this instance I am trying...

    NPN Open Collector

    @ BobM3 There is no other power supply to the oil meter. I put in a 10k resistor across Pulse and Gnd, but I am still reading zero Volts. I also checked ohm readings between different pairs of terminals with no power supplied. Still no wiser! @ markcraig Checked Hz across all terminals..... no...

    NPN Open Collector

    BobM3, Thanks for your suggestions. I have already tried your initial method. I have a volt meter and will check the voltage readings. The meter does not say "24V+Max"

    NPN Open Collector

    Thanks fangas and VE1BLL. I have tried using a pull up resistor, but I am still unable to register anything at the data logger. The logger can accept reed switch or solid state pulse type inputs. Would there be any way of measuring if the pulse is actually being generated (eg. at the terminals...

    NPN Open Collector

    Hi, I have a Turbine oil flow meter installed and I need some assistance in relation to the pulse output signal. I am told that the meter provides a NPN Open Collector output pulse signal. There are three terminals on the meter (24V+,Pulse & Gnd). I have connected a 24VDC supply to 24V+ and Gnd...
