  • Page 5: Introduction

    Fig. 1: Typical application Configuration The F112-A is designed for use in many types of applications. For that reason, a setup menu is available to program the F112-A according to your specific requirements. The setup includes several important features, such as span, engineering units, signal selection, power management (to extend battery life-time), etc.
  • Page 6: Operational

     Take careful notice of the "Safety rules, instructions and precautionary measures" in the front of this manual. This chapter describes the daily use of the F112-A. This instruction is meant for users / operators. 2.1. CONTROL PANEL The control panel has three keys. The available keys are: Fig.
  • Page 7: Operator Information And Functions

     Display (linearized) flow rate / total or flow rate This is the main display information of the F112-A . 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.

    Page 15 TUNE-MIN The (0)4mA or 0V value can be tuned precisely with this setting. The initial minimum analog output value is (0)4mA or 0V. However, this value might differ slightly due to ambient influences such as temperature for example. Before tuning the signal, be sure that the analog signal is not being used for any application! After pressing PROG, the current will be about 4mA (0mA or 0V).
