  • Page 5: Introduction

    This manual describes the unit with an analog (0)4-20mA input type from the flowmeter "-A version". Other versions are available to process pulse or 0-10V flowmeter signals. One flowmeter with a passive or active (0)4-20mA signal output can be connected to the F012-A. To power the sensor, several options are available.

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.

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 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. MEASUREMENT UNIT SETUP - 21 determines the measurement unit for flowrate.
  • Page 15: Display

    When used with the internal battery option, the user can expect reliable measurement over a long period of time. The F012-A has several smart power management functions to extend the battery life time significantly. Two of these functions can be set:...
  • Page 16 The analog output signal of a flowmeter does mirror the actual flow. This signal is measured several times a second by the F012-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.
