3. TO THE OWNER Thank you for purchasing a MN series flow meter and accessories. Please take a few minutes to read through this manual before installing and operating your meter. If you have any problems with the meter, refer to the maintenance and troubleshooting sections of this manual.
Introduction 4. INTRODUCTION 4.1 System description of the F110 The display / totalizer F110 is a battery-powered device driven by microprocessors for displaying of the flow rate, total and accumulated total. For that purpose, one flow meter can be connected to the F110. Two outputs are standardly available: •...
Operation 5. OPERATION 5.1 In general This chapter describes the daily use of the display / totalizer. This instruction is meant for the users/operators. In general, the display/totalizer will always act at operator level. The information displayed depends on the SETUP settings. Although the refresh rate of the display might be slow (due to power management functions), each flow meter pulse will be measured.
Configuration / setup 6. CONFIGURATION / SETUP 6.1 In general • Mounting, electrical installation, start-up and maintenance of the instrument may only be carried out by trained personnel authorized by the operator of the facility. Personnel must read and understand this operating manual before carrying out its instructions.
Configuration / setup 6.3 Scrolling through SETUP 6.3.1 SELECTION OF FUNCTIONS GROUP AND FUNCTION SETUP level is divided into several function groups and functions. Select a function group with Select a function with 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.
Configuration / setup 6.3.3 TO RETURN TO THE OPERATOR LEVEL Press for 3 seconds 6.3.4 FUNCTIONS OVERVIEW OF THE SETUP LEVEL Decimals K-factor: 0-6 K-factor: 0.000010 - 9,999,999 Decimals: 0 - 1 - 2 -3 Total Unit: L - m - kg - lb - GAL - USGAL - bbl - no unit Cut-off: 0.1 - 999.9 seconds Calculation: per 1 - 99 pulses...
Configuration / setup 6.4 Explanations of the SETUP functions 6.4.1 TOTALIZER – 1 Measurement unit - 11: SETUP - 11 determines the measurement unit for total and accumulated total. The following units can be selected: L - m3 - kg - lb - GAL - USGAL - bbl - _ (no unit). Alterations of the measurement unit will have consequences for operator and SETUP level values.
Configuration / setup 6.4.2 FLOW RATE – 2 The settings for total and flow rate are entirely separated. In this way, different measurement units can be used like cubic meters for total and liters for flow rate. Please notice that all these settings influence the analog output as well. Measurement unit - 21: SETUP - 21 determines the measurement unit for flow rate.
Configuration / setup 6.4.3 DISPLAY - 3 Function - 31 The large 17 mm digits can be set to display total or flow rate digits at operator level. When total is selected, both total and flow rate are displayed simultaneously. When flow rate is selected, total will be displayed after pressing select. 6.4.4 POWER MANAGEMENT - 4 As the F110 is normally battery powered, the user will have the concern of reliable measurement over a long period of time.
Configuration / setup 6.4.6 ANALOG OUTPUT - 6 A passive linear 4-20mA output signal is generated according to the flow rate with a 10 bit resolution. The settings for flow rate (SETUP - 2) influences the analogue output directly. When the analogue output is not used, please make sure that setting 61 is disabled, else the battery lifetime will be decreased significantly! The relationship between rate and analogue output is set with following functions: Enable / disable - 61:...
Configuration / setup 6.4.8 COMMUNICATION (OPTIONAL) - 8 Functions as described below deal with hardware that is not part of the standard delivery. Programming of these functions does not have any effect if this hardware has not been installed. Baud Rate (optional) - 81: For external control, following communication speeds can be selected: 1200 - 2400 - 4800 - 9600 baud Bus address (optional) - 82: For RS485 communication, a unique identity can be attributed to every F110.

Installation 7.5.3 PULSE OUTPUT (connectors 4-5, SETUP 71) An open collector output generates a pulse of 100 msec. (setting long) or 25msec. (setting short) according to a certain quantity. This output can be used for driving an external counter relay e.g. For power-consumption reasons, it is advised to select "OFF"...
Installation 7.5.6 INPUTS (connectors 9-12) Two basic types of flow meter signals can be connected to the F110: pulse (terminal 10) or coil (terminal 11). The screen of the signal wire must be connected to terminal 9 (GND). The voltage supply (3.2VDC) to the flow meter should be connected to terminal 12.
Installation Pulse signal PNP Internal External +3.2V DC Signal low-pass filer selection PNP-lp 100K shielding GND ⊥ Reed switch: The F110 is suitable for flow meters which have a reed switch. To avoid pulse bounce from the reed-switch, it is advised to select REED LP - low-pass filter (setup 51).
Maintenance 8. MAINTENANCE 8.1 Hints Installation, use, maintenance and demounting of this equipment must be carried out by authorised technicians only. Take good notice of the "Safety rules and precautionary measures" in the front of this manual. The display / totalizer does not require special maintenance unless it is used in low-temperature applications and/or surroundings with high humidity (above 90% annual mean).
Appendix B: Troubleshooting 10. APPENDIX B: TROUBLESHOOTING In this appendix, several problems are included that can occur when the display / totalizer is going to be installed or while it is in operation. Flow meter does not generate pulses: Check: •...
