F070-A LEVEL INDICATOR Signal input sensor: (0)4-20mA. Options: Intrinsically Safe. F-Series - Field mounted indicators for safe and hazardous areas. More info: www.fluidwell.com/fseries...
This unit must be installed in accordance with the EMC guidelines (Electro Magnetic Compatibility). Do connect a proper grounding to the aluminum casing as indicated if the F070-A has been supplied with the 115-230V AC power-supply type PM. The green / yellow wire between the back-casing and removable terminal-block may never be removed.
This operation manual describes the standard unit as well as most of the options available. For additional information, please contact your supplier. A hazardous situation may occur if the F070-A is not used for the purpose it was designed for or is used incorrectly. Please carefully note the information in this operating manual indicated by the pictograms: A "warning"...

This manual describes the unit with an analog (0)4-20mA input type from the sensor "-A version". Other versions are available to process a 0-10V sensor signal. One sensor with a passive or active (0)4-20mA signal output can be connected to the F070-A. To power the sensor, several options are available.
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 F070-A. This instruction is meant for users / operators. 2.2. CONTROL PANEL The following keys are available: Fig.
SETUP-settings. The signal generated by the connected sensor is measured by the F070-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.
Operating Manual before carrying out its instructions. The F070-A 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.

Page 9 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 12 3.2.3. EXPLANATION OF SETUP-FUNCTIONS 1 - LEVEL SETUP - 11 determines the measurement unit for the displayed level. MEASUREMENT UNIT 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 13 2 - HEIGHT If desired the height of the level column can be calculated and displayed. SETUP - 21 determines the measurement unit for height. MEASUREMENT UNIT The following units can be selected: mm - cm - m - mtr - inch - ft - mmwk - mmwc - cmwk - cmwc - mwk - mwc - inwc - ftwc - mbar - bar - psi - no unit.
When used with the internal battery option, the user can expect reliable measurement over a long period of time. The F070-A has several smart power management functions to extend the battery life time significantly. Two of these functions can be set:...
The analog output signal of a sensor does mirror the actual level. This FILTER signal is measured several times a second by the F070-A. The value measured is a "snap-shot" of the real level 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.
For support and maintenance it is important to have information about the TYPE OF MODEL characteristics of the F070-A. Your supplier will ask for this information in the case of a serious breakdown or to assess the suitability of your model for upgrade considerations.

This unit must be installed in accordance with the EMC guidelines (Electro Magnetic Compatibility). Do ground the aluminum casing properly as indicated, if the F070-A has been supplied with the 115-230V AC power-supply type PM. The green / yellow wire between the back- casing and removable terminal-block may never be removed.
REMARKS: TERMINAL CONNECTORS: Terminals 1-2; Sensor input type A: The F070-A requires a (0)4-20mA sensor signal which will be processed 4 times a second with a 16 bits accuracy. The input is not isolated. The screen of the signal wire must be connected to the common ground terminal...

Connect the "-" to terminal 4 and the "+" to terminal 5. When power is applied to these terminals, the optional internal battery will be disabled / enabled automatically to extend the battery life time. The input loop powered model - type F070-A-PL - does not have this power supply option. Terminal 6: sensor supply voltage - type PD.
