  • Page 5: Introduction

    Page 5 INTRODUCTION 1.1. SYSTEM DESCRIPTION OF THE F117-P Functions and features The totalizer monitor model F117-P is a microprocessor driven instrument designed to monitor the total related to a given preset value and two alarm values for high / low alarm. Further an accumulated total as well as the flowrate can be displayed.
  • Page 6 Page 6 Configuration of the unit The F117-P is designed to be implemented in many types of applications. For that reason, a SETUP-level is available to configure your F117-P according to your specific requirements. SETUP includes several important features, such as K-factors, measurement units, signal selection etc.

  • Page 7: Operational

    Page 7 OPERATIONAL 2.1. GENERAL  The F117-P may only be operated by personnel who are authorized and trained by the operator of the facility. All instructions in this manual are to be observed.  Take careful notice of the " Safety rules, instructions and precautionary measures " in the front of this manual.

  • Page 8: Operator Information And Functions

    Page 8 2.3. OPERATOR INFORMATION AND FUNCTIONS In general, the F117-P will always function at Operator level. The information displayed is dependant upon the SETUP-settings. All pulses generated by the connected flowmeter are measured by the F117-P in the background, whichever screen refresh rate setting is chosen. After pressing a key, the display will be updated very quickly during a 30 second period, after which it will slow-down again.
  • Page 9 Page 9  Programming the totalizer alarm values Note: This function might not be accessible due to a configuration setting. When the STOP-key is pressed a few times, the two totalizer alarm values are displayed:  low totalizer alarm: 95.0% (365.75L) for example, ...

  • Page 10: Monitoring Process

    Page 10 2.3.2. MONITORING PROCESS  Starting up the monitoring process The totalizer monitoring process can only be started up when "READY” is displayed. This is the main display information of the F117-P. After selecting any other information, it will always return to this main display automatically.

  • Page 11: Configuration

    Page 11 CONFIGURATION 3.1. INTRODUCTION This and the following chapters are exclusively meant for electricians and non-operators. In these, an extensive description of all software settings and hardware connections are provided.  Mounting, electrical installation, start-up and maintenance of the instrument may only be carried out by trained personnel authorized by the operator of the facility.
  • Page 12 Page 12 Matrix structure SETUP-level: SCROLLING THROUGH SETUP-LEVEL Selection of function-group and function: SETUP is divided into several function groups and functions. Each function has a unique number, which is displayed below the word "SETUP" at the bottom of the display. The number is a combination of two figures. The first figure indicates the function-group and the second figure the sub-function.
  • Page 13 Page 13 To change or select a value: To change a value, use  to select the digits and  to increase that value. To select a setting, both  and  can be used. If the new value is invalid, the increase sign or decrease-sign will be displayed while you are programming.

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 16: Flowrate

    Page 16 2 - FLOWRATE The settings for total and flowrate are entirely separate. In this way, different units of measurement can be used for each e.g. cubic meters for total and liters for flowrate. The display update time for flowrate is one second or more. Note: these settings also influence the analog output ref.

  • Page 17: Preset

    Page 17 3 - PRESET The preset value is the totalizer quantity to be monitored. Related to this preset value, the low and high totalizer alarm values are set as well. This function determines if the preset value can be set at both Operator SET PRESET VALUE level and SETUP-level or SETUP-level only.

  • Page 18: Power Management

    Page 18 5 - POWER MANAGEMENT When used with the internal battery option, the user can expect reliable measurement over a long period of time. The F117-P has several smart power management functions to extend the battery life time significantly. Two of these functions can be set: The calculation of the display-information influences the power LCD NEW consumption significantly.

  • Page 19: Flowmeter

    Page 19 7 - FLOWMETER The F117-P is able to handle several types of input signal. The type of SIGNAL A flowmeter pickup / signal is selected with SETUP 71. If two sensors are used, the second input is set with SETUP 72. Note: The selections "active pulse"...

  • Page 20: Analog Output

    Page 20 8 - ANALOG OUTPUT A linear (0)4-20mA or 0-10V output signal is generated according to the percentage or flowrate with a 10 bits resolution. The settings for flowrate (SETUP - 2) directly influence the analog output. The relationship between percentage / rate and analog output is set with the following functions: The analog output can be disabled.
