    SYSTEM DESCRIPTION Functions and features The batch controller model F131-P is a microprocessor driven instrument designed for batching and filling of small up to large quantities as well as displaying the flow rate, the batched total and the accumulated total.
  • Page 7 Page 7 Configuration of the unit The F131-P is designed for use in many types of applications. For that reason, a setup menu is available to program the F131-P according to your specific requirements. The setup includes several important features, such as K-Factors, engineering units, signal selection, power management (to extend battery life-time), etc.

  • Page 8: Control Panel

    • 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 F131-P . This instruction is meant for users / operators. 2.1. CONTROL PANEL The control panel has three keys. The available keys are: Fig.
  • Page 9 When you confirm the selection with the PROG/ENTER key, the F131-P will hide the leading zeros in the operational preset menu. It is not possible to enter a preset value which exceeds the batch maximum setting.
  • Page 10 No-flow alarm The F131-P offers a no-flow monitoring feature: When the flowmeter does not generate a signal during a certain (preset) time period, the F131-P will shut-off the control output(s) and bring the batch controller in alarm status. The “PAUSE” and “ALARM” indicators come on and NO FLOW is shown. Press the STOP/ key to confirm the alarm status and note that the “PAUSE”...
  • Page 11 How to enter the setup menu When the setup menu is protected by a password, the F131-P asks for a password to access the setup menu. When in the operator mode, press and hold the PROG/ENTER key for 7 seconds to access the setup menu.
  • Page 12 The START/▲ key and the STOP/► key are used for navigation. The explanation assumes that you are in the submenu PRESET. When you are: • in the first setting and you navigate to the previous setting, the F131-P goes back to the related main menu.

  • Page 22: Installing The Hardware

    4.4.1. GENERAL INSTALLATION GUIDELINES • In the F131-P , different types of bonding and earthing are used. The common (ground) is mostly used for termination of the wire shields and the Protective Earth (PE) is used for electrical safety. • The F131-P that came with a power module type PM; 110V-230V AC or type PD/PF with an option OR (the relays can handle 110V-230V AC) shall be connected to the Protective Earth (PE) stud which is installed in the metal back panel.
  • Page 23 Do not use the terminal 00 to connect the protective earth wire, the 00 and the common ground terminals are internally connected. Be careful, to prevent damage to equipment when you connect different power supplies (sensor, PLC, etc.). Inside the Fluidwell display, the common grounds are internally connected to each other.
