Page 6: Introduction
Page 6 INTRODUCTION 1.1. SYSTEM DESCRIPTION OF THE F113-A Functions and features The flowrate / totalizer model F113-A is a microprocessor driven instrument designed to display flowrate, total and accumulated total as well as the monitoring of the flowrate for high / low values. This product has been designed with a focus on: ...
Page 7: Operational

The following units can be selected: L; m3; kg; lb; GAL; USGAL; bbl; no unit Alteration of the measurement unit will have consequences for operator and SETUP-level values.
Page 13: Alarm
Page 13 SPAN With the span, the flowmeter signal is converted to a quantity. The span for flowrate is determined on the basis of the selected measurement unit and time unit at 20mA. Enter the span in whole numbers (decimals are set with SETUP 25). The more accurate the span, the more accurate the functioning of the system will be.
Page 14: Power Management
Page 14 5 - POWER MANAGEMENT When used with the internal battery option, the user can expect reliable measurement over a long period of time. The F113-A has several smart power management functions to extend the battery life time significantly. Two of these functions can be set: LCD NEW The calculation of the display-information influences the power consumption significantly.
Page 15: Analog Output
Page 15 CUT-OFF To ignore e.g. leakage of the flow or vibration, a low-flow cut-off can be set as percentage over the full range of 16mA (or 20mA / 10V). When the analog value is less then required with this setting, the signal will be ignored.
Page 16: Relay Output
Page 16 The analog output value can be programmed “up-side-down” if desired, so 4mA at maximum flowrate for example! 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 (or 20mA / 10V). When the flow is less than the required rate, the current will be 4mA.
Page 17: Communication (Optional)
Page 17 RELAY 1 Assign the output function to R1: high alarm, low alarm, high-high alarm, low-low alarm, flowrate alarm or pulse output (max 5Hz). Note: Intrinsically safe applications: this setting has no influence on any output; please read 83: R3. RELAY 2 Assign the output function to R2: high alarm, low alarm, high-high alarm, low-low alarm, flowrate alarm or pulse output (max 60Hz).
