Page 5: Introduction
This manual describes the unit with a analog type input from the flowmeter "-A version". Other versions are available to process pulses or 0-10V flowmeter signals. One flowmeter with a (0)4-20mA signal output can be connected to the F118-A. To power the sensor, several options are available. - Page 6 Page 6 Configuration of the unit The F118-A was designed to be implemented in many types of applications. For that reason, a SETUP-level is available to configure your F118-A according to your specific requirements. SETUP includes several important features, such as K-factors, measurement units, signal selection 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 function.

Page 15: Flowrate
Page 15 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 16: Alarm
When used with the internal battery option, the user may hold the concern of reliable measurement over a long period of time. The F118-A has several smart power management functions to extend the battery life time significantly. Two of these functions can be set:... -
Page 17: Flowmeter
The analog output signal of a flowmeter does mirror the actual flow. This FILTER signal is measured several times a second by the F118-A. The value measured is a "snap-shot" of the real flow as it will be fluctuating. With the help of this digital filter a stable and accurate reading can be obtained while the filter level can be set to a desired value. -
Page 18: Flowmeter (Continued)
Page 18 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 then required with this setting, the signal will be ignored. -
Page 19: Linearisation
Page 19 6 - LINEARISATION The linearisation function is available to approach the real flowcurve better as with the general Span entered with setup 14 and 24. This to obtain a more accurate flowrate, total and accumulated total as well as the analog and pulse output at any flowmeter signal. A maximum of 15 linearisation-positions can be entered while the interpolation will calculate any other position in-between. -

M-FACTOR With value 0% the M-Factor is disabled. 61 TO 6A The M-Factor is displayed at the top-line of the display. The minimum value to be entered is 0.000001 and the maximum value is 9.999999. -
