  • Page 5: Introduction

    This manual describes the unit with a (0)4-20mA sensor input "-A version". Other versions are available to process pulse or 0-10V signals. One sensor with a (0)4-20mA output can be connected to the F197-A. To power the sensor, several options are available.
  • Page 6 Page 6 Configuration of the unit The F197-A was designed to be implemented in many types of applications. For that reason, a SETUP-level is available to configure your F197-A according to your specific requirements. SETUP includes several important features, such as Span, measurement units, signal selection etc.

    However, there is NO control relationship between the output value and the sensor input value. The signal generated by the connected sensor is measured by the F197-A 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 alarm values Note: This function might not be available or accessible due to a configuration setting. When the SELECT-key is pressed a few times, the values are displayed. These values are related to the input value of the sensor: 1) low alarm: enter here 830 °C for example.

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 3.2.3. EXPLANATION OF SETUP-FUNCTIONS 1 - SENSOR The settings for sensor do not influence the output signal directly. The input signal is just used to display and monitor a value at the operator level, which is likely influence by the setpoint generator. The display update time for this value is one second or more.

    Page 15 2 - OUTPUT With this function it is determined how the opertor has to enter a new PRESET SET setpoint value. The following can be selected: enter: the digits have to be selected and each digit is increased individually.

  • Page 16: Power Management

    When used with the internal battery (type PB / PC), the user can expect reliable measurement over a long period of time. The F197-A has several smart power management functions to extend the battery life time significantly. Two of these functions can be set:...
  • Page 17 FILTER The analog output signal of a sensor does mirror the actual value. This signal is measured several times a second by the F197-A. The value measured is a "snap-shot" of the real value 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: Analog Output

    Page 18 6 - ANALOG OUTPUT A linear 4-20mA signal (type AB: 0-20mA or type AU: 0-10V) output signal is generated according to the setpoint with a 10 bits resolution. The settings for “OUTPUT” (SETUP - 2) directly influence the analog output.

  • Page 19: Communication (Optional)

    1200 - 2400 - 4800 - 9600 baud BUS ADDRESS For communication purposes, a unique identity can be attributed to every F197-A. This address can vary from 1-255. The communication protocol is Modbus RTU mode. MODE Select OFF, to disable this communication function.
