The F116-P must be installed in accordance with the EMC guidelines (Electro Magnetic Compatibility). Do connect a proper grounding to the metal enclosure as indicated if the F116-P has an incoming power line which carries a 115-230V AC. The Protective Earth (PE) wire may never be disconnected or removed.
This manual describes the standard unit as well as the available options. For additional information, please contact your supplier. A hazardous situation may occur if the F116-P is not used for the purpose it was designed for or is used incorrectly. Please carefully note the information in this manual indicated by the pictograms: A "warning !"...

SYSTEM DESCRIPTION Functions and features The flow rate / totalizer model F116-P is a microprocessor driven instrument designed to show the flow rate, the total and the accumulated total as well as for the calculation of differential flow measurement and to sum two separate flows. This product has been designed with a focus on: ...
Page 7 Configuration The F116-P is designed for use in many types of applications. For that reason, a setup menu is available to program the F116-P according to your specific requirements. The setup includes several important features, such as K-Factors, engineering units, signal selection, power management (to extend battery life-time), etc.
Display (differential or summed) total/rate Total/rate is the main display of the F116-P. After the selection of any other information, it will always return to this main display automatically. Total is shown on the upper line of the display and flow rate on the bottom line.
How to enter the setup menu When the setup menu is protected by a password, the F116-P asks for a password to access the setup menu. When in the operator mode, press and hold the PROG/ENTER key for 7 seconds to access the setup menu.
Page 10
The SELECT/▲ key and the CLEAR/► key are used for navigation. The explanation assumes that you are in the submenu TOTAL. When you are: in the first setting and you navigate to the previous setting, the F116-P goes back to the related main menu.
Page 13 3.1.3 EXPLANATION OF SETUP-MENU 2 - FLOW RATE-A The settings for total and flow rate are entirely separate. In this way, different engineering units can be used for each e.g. cubic meters for total and liters for flow rate. FLOW RATE-A 21 unit This setting is used to select the engineering unit for the indication of the flow...
The backlight brightness can be adjusted from 0% (off) to 100% (full brightness) in steps of 20%. When the F116-P is only loop powered, the backlight is disabled. An external power supply is required to supply the backlight. 53 measurement To solve undesired display readings during low or even negative consumption situations, four different measurement methods have been implemented.
When used with the internal battery option (type PB/PC), the user can expect reliable measurement over a long period of time. The F116-P has several smart power management functions to extend the battery life time significantly. Two of these functions can be set.
3.1.8 EXPLANATION OF SETUP-MENU 7 - FLOWMETER The F116-P is able to handle several types of input signal. The pickup / signal is selected with: SETUP 71 (Input A), Read also chapter 4 SETUP 72 (Input B), Read also chapter 4.
Page 17
Page 17 84 cut-off To ignore leakage of the flow for example, a low flow cut-off can be set as a percentage of the full range of 16mA, 20mA or 10V. When the flow is less than the required rate, the current will be the minimum signal (0)4mA or 0V.
This setting is used to set the Modbus transmission mode. Select OFF to disable the communication. 3.1.12 EXPLANATION OF SETUP-MENU B - OTHERS For support and maintenance it is important to have information about the characteristics of the F116-P. Your supplier will ask for this information when support is required. OTHERS B1 model This setting shows the model name.
When panel-mounted, the front panel of the F116-P is rated for IP65 / TYPE 4(X)! When used in very cold surroundings or varying climatic conditions, inside the instrument case, take the necessary precautions against moisture. Mount the F116-P onto a solid structure to avoid vibrations. FL_F116P_v1702_01_EN...
4.4.1. GENERAL INSTALLATION GUIDELINES In the F116-P , different types of bonding and earthing are used. The common (ground) is mostly used for termination of the wire shields and the Protective Earth (PE) is used for electrical safety. The F116-P that came with a power module type PM; 110V-230V AC or type PD/PF with an option OR (the relays can handle 110V-230V AC) shall be connected to the Protective Earth (PE) stud which is installed in the metal back panel.
Page 23 4.4.2. ALUMINUM ENCLOSURE - FIELD MOUNTED Risk of damage to equipment! Do not use the terminal 00 to connect the protective earth wire, the 00 and the common ground terminals are internally connected. Be careful, to prevent damage to equipment when you connect different power supplies (sensor, PLC, etc.).
Page 24 4.4.4. PLASTIC (GRP) ENCLOSURE The PE connection The F116-P in a GRP enclosure meets the requirements of class 2 (double insulated). Therefore the incoming PE wire is terminated with an insulating end cap. Type PM (110-230V AC) Type PD-OR / PF-OR (8-24V AC)
Page 25 4.4.5. TERMINAL CONNECTORS For Intrinsically safe applications: read chapter 5. Fig. 7: Overview of terminal connectors - Standard configuration and options SENSOR SUPPLY For type PB/PC; PX; AP: There is no real sensor supply out available. Only a limited power supply is available.

5. Close the F116-P. Risk of electrocution - High voltage! Make sure, all the leads to the terminals are disconnected from the F116-P and NEVER connect the mains power supply to the unit when the protection cover has been removed!
Page 27
Page 27 Terminal 05-06 (R1) / 03-04 (R2, negative total); scaled pulse output SETUP A (read chapter 3) determines the pulse output function. The maximum pulse frequency of this output is 500Hz. If a relay output option has been supplied, be sure that the output frequency does not exceed 5Hz or else the life-time of the relay will be reduced significantly.
Page 28
Page 28 Type AA An active 4-20mA signal proportional to the (differential or summed) flow rate is available with this option. When the output is disabled, a 3.5mA signal will be generated on these terminals. Max. driving capacity 1000 Ohm @ 24VDC. (Requires power supply type PD/PF/PM). Fig.

The input signal type has to be selected in the flowmeter setup (read chapter 3). Sine-wave signal (Coil): The F116-P is suitable for use with flowmeters which have a coil output signal. Two sensitivity levels can be selected: COIL-LO: sensitivity from about 80mV ...
Page 30
Pulse-signal PNP / PNP-LP: The F116-P is suitable for use with flowmeters which have a PNP output signal. 3V is offered on terminal 11 which has to be switched by the sensor to terminal 10 (SIGNAL). For a reliable pulse detection, the pulse amplitude has to go above 1.2V.
Page 31
Fig. 21: Terminal connections - Reed-switch signal input (typical) NAMUR-signal: The F116-P is suitable for flowmeters with an NAMUR signal. The standard F116-P is not able to power the NAMUR sensor, as an external power supply for the sensor is required. However, a 8.2V sensor supply voltage (terminal 11) can be provided with type PD, PF, PM.
KEMA 03ATEX1071 U or IECEx KEM 08.0005U is allowed in Hazardous Area. Read chapter 6 for battery replacement instructions. When the enclosure of the F116-P is made of aluminum alloy, when used in a potentially explosive atmosphere requiring apparatus of EPL Ga, the indicator shall be installed so, that even in the event of rare incidents, an ignition source due to impact or friction sparks between the enclosure and iron/steel is excluded.
