Open collector flow sensor with Zelio

I'm having a similar problem. I have a flow meter that is 24VDC that has an output for programable alarms, but the output is an open collector circuit capable of only 10mA. If I was conncetong directly to the PLC (SLC 5/04) with a 24VDC input card, I wouldn't have any issues as far as I can tell. Unfortunately, the controller is 120VAC. I haven't had much luck with getting any relays to work with this output. The closest I've came was using an optocoupler relay with the pull up resistor a 500 ohms instead of the factory recomended 2.2 K to 10 K ohm. I've contacted the manufacture of the flow meter a few months ago, but they never responded.
