  • Page 5: Introduction

    This manual describes the unit with a (0)4-20mA input from the flowmeter "-A version". Other versions are available to process pulse or 0-10V flowmeter signals. One flowmeter with a (0)4-20mA output can be connected to the F110-A. To power the sensor, several options are available.
  • Page 6 Page 6 Configuration of the unit The F110-A was designed to be implemented in many types of applications. For that reason, a SETUP-level is available to configure your F110-A according to your specific requirements. SETUP includes several important features, such as Span, measurement units, signal settings etc.

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 14: Flowrate

    Page 14 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.

  • Page 15: Display

    When used with the internal battery option, the user can expect reliable measurement over a long period of time. The F110-A has several smart power management functions to extend the (optional) battery life time significantly. Two of these functions can be set:...

  • Page 16: Flowmeter

    FILTER The analog output signal of a flowmeter does mirror the actual flow. This signal is measured several times a second by the F110-A. The value measured is a "snap-shot" of the real flow. With the help of this digital filter a more stable and accurate reading can be obtained while the filter level can be set to a desired value.
  • Page 17 Page 17 5 - FLOWMETER (CONTINUED) 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 than required with this setting, the signal will be ignored.

  • Page 18: Analog Output

    Page 18 6 - ANALOG OUTPUT A linear analog (0)4-20mA or 0-10V signal is generated according to the flowrate with a 10 bits resolution. The settings for flowrate (SETUP - 2) influence the analog output directly. The relationship between rate and analog output is set with the following functions: DISABLE / ENABLE The analog output can be disabled.

  • Page 19: Relay Output

    Page 19 6 - ANALOG OUTPUT (CONTINUED) FILTER This function is used to stabilize the analog output signal. The output value is updated every 0.1 second. With the help of this digital filter a more stable but less precise reading can be obtained. The filter principal is based on three input values: the filter level (01-99), the last analog output value and the last average value.

  • Page 20: Communication (Optional)

    1200 - 2400 - 4800 - 9600 baud For communication purposes, a unique identity can be attributed to every BUS ADDRESS F110-A. This address can vary from 1-255. MODE The communication protocol is Modbus ASCII or RTU mode. Select OFF, to disable this communication function.
