  • Page 5: Introduction

    Page 5 INTRODUCTION 1.1. SYSTEM DESCRIPTION OF THE F114-A Functions and features The ratio indicator / monitor model F114-A is a microprocessor driven instrument designed to calculate, display and monitor the ratio between two flows as well as the flowrates and totals. This product has been designed with a focus on: ...
  • Page 6 Page 6 Configuration of the unit The F114-A was designed to be implemented in many types of applications. For that reason, a SETUP-level is available to configure your F114-A according to your specific requirements. SETUP includes several important features, such as Span, measurement units etc. All setting are stored in EEPROM memory and will not be lost in the event of power failure or a drained battery.

  • Page 7: Operational

    Page 7 OPERATIONAL 2.1. GENERAL  The F114-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.  Take careful notice of the " Safety rules, instructions and precautionary measures " in the front of this manual.

  • Page 8: Operator Information And Functions

    Page 8 2.3. OPERATOR INFORMATION AND FUNCTIONS In general, the F114-A will always function at Operator level. The information displayed is dependant upon the SETUP-settings. All pulses generated by the connected flowmeter are measured by the F114-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 10 CONFIGURATION 3.1. INTRODUCTION This and the following chapters are exclusively meant for electricians and non-operators. In these, an extensive description of all software settings and hardware connections are provided.  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.
  • Page 11 Page 11 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 Page 12 To change or select a value: To change a value, use  to select the digits and  to increase that value. To select a setting, both  and  can be used. If the new value is invalid, the increase sign or decrease-sign will be displayed while you are programming.

  • Page 16: Total B

    Page 16 3 - TOTAL B SPAN With the span, the flowmeter signal is converted to a quantity. The span for Total is determined on the basis of the measurement unit (setting 11) and the flowrate per second at 20mA. Enter the span in whole numbers (decimals are set with SETUP 14).

  • Page 17: Ratio

    Page 17 5 - RATIO FORMULA The definition of the ratio displayed is set with this function. The ratio can be expressed as: 1) the flowrate of the "additive flow" compared to the flowrate of the "main flow", or as 2) the flowrate of the "additive flow"...

  • Page 18: Alarm

    Page 18 6 - ALARM With these settings, it is determined how the ratio will be. Note: for alarm relay output functions: read SETUP A “relays”. FLOW ZERO When the flowrate of BOTH flows is zero, then it is possible to ignore or disable the ratio monitoring.

  • Page 19: Power Management

    Page 19 8 - POWER MANAGEMENT When used with the internal battery option, the user can expect reliable measurement over a long period of time. The F114-A has several smart power management functions to extend the battery life time significantly. Two of these functions can be set: LCD NEW The calculation of the display-information influences the power consumption significantly.

  • Page 20: Flowmeter A

    Page 20 9 - FLOWMETER A SIGNAL The F114-A can process the 4-20mA signal in two ways:  Interpolation: the signal is processed linear R = S x I  Square root: for differential pressure √ R = S where: R = Rate: the calculated flowrate S = Span: the maximum flowrate at 20mA.
  • Page 21 Page 21 9 - FLOWMETER A (CONTINUED) CUT-OFF To ignore e.g. leakage of the flow or vibration, a low-flow cut-off can be set as percentage over the full range of 16mA (or 20mA / 10V). When the analog value is less then required with this setting, the signal will be ignored.

  • Page 22: A - Flowmeter B

    Page 22 A - FLOWMETER B SIGNAL The F114-A can process the 4-20mA signal in two ways:  Interpolation: the signal is processed linear  Square root: for differential pressure For explanation of this function: please read “9 - Flowmeter A” FILTER 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 23: B - Analog Output

    Page 23 B - ANALOG OUTPUT A linear (0)4-20mA or 0-10V output signal is generated according to the calculated ratio, flowrate A or flowrate B with a 10 bits resolution. The settings for ratio (SETUP 52) and flowrate (SETUP - 2) directly influence the analog output.

  • Page 24: C - Relay Output

    Page 24 C - RELAY OUTPUT With “SETUP 6”, four alarm levels can be entered. Based on the options ordered, the F114-A will have 2, 3 or 4 alarm outputs. Note: If the unit is Intrinsically Safe, it will have two alarm outputs. If option OS (relay board) has been supplied, it will have four alarm outputs.
