Page 7 Display information The unit has a LCD with (optional) backlight to show the process information, status and alarm messages. The display refresh rate is programmed in the setup menu. At a key press, the display refresh rate will switch to FAST for 30 seconds.
Page 8
Page 8 For the Operator, the following functions are available: Display ratio: This is the main display information of the F114. After selecting other information, it will return to the main display automatically. The ratio is calculated by measuring the flow A and flow B. The shown ratio can indicate: the actual flow rate of the additive compared to the flow rate of the main flow, or the actual flow rate of the additive compared to the total flow (summed additive + main flow).
Page 9 CONFIGURATION 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 this device may only be carried out by trained persons authorized by the operator of the facility.
Page 10
Page 10 The SELECT/ key and the CLEAR/ key are used for navigation. The explanation assumes that you are in the submenu TOTAL. When you are: in the first setting and you navigate to the previous setting, the F114-P goes back to the related main menu.
Page 13 This setting is used to set the time unit for the flow rate calculation (A and B). Note TIME that the flow rate is given in engineering unit/time unit, e.g. liters/minute (l/min). When you change this setting, also recalculate and change the settings for the analog rate-min and analog rate-max.
Page 14 RATIO The ratio is shown as a percentage (PCT) or a ratio as 1-____. This setting also influences the analog output refl. the ratio. FUNCTION The ratio or percentage will be shown with maximum of five digits: 1 : xxxxx or 99999%. If you have a ratio of 1:5 than two or three decimals might be required.
Page 15 3.1.8. EXPLANATION OF SETUP MENU 7 - DISPLAY FUNCTION Additionally to the ratio, the flow rate and a resettable totalizer of channel A and channel B can be shown. Following can be selected: disabled: total and flow rate will not be shown. rate: only flow rate A and B will be shown total:...

Page 18 3.1.14 EXPLANATION OF SETUP-MENU D - OTHERS For support and maintenance it is important to have information about the characteristics of the F114-P. Your supplier will ask for this information when support is required. This setting shows the model name. MODEL This setting shows the version number of the firmware (software).
The wire screens shall be terminated at one side to prevent wire loops. Inside of the Fluidwell unit, the different common ground terminals are connected to each other. It is advised, as illustrated, to terminate the wire screens in the vicinity of the sensor and to insulated the wire screen with a shrink tube at the Fluidwell unit side.
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.

Page 29 Pulse-signal NPN / NPN-LP: detection, the pulse amplitude has to go below 1.2V. Signal setting NPN-LP employs a low-pass signal noise filter, which limits the maximum input frequency (read chapter 3). Fig. 19: Terminal connections - NPN signal input (typical) Pulse-signal PNP / PNP-LP: The F114-P is suitable for use with flowmeters which have a PNP output signal.
