  • Page 5: Introduction

    Page 5 1 INTRODUCTION SYSTEM DESCRIPTION OF THE F119-P Functions and features The flow rate / totalizer, model F119-P is a microprocessor driven instrument designed to linearize the flowmeters flow curve and to show flow rate, total and accumulated total. Additionally, the F119-P is capable of printing totalizer tickets and delivery tickets.
  • Page 6 Page 6 Standard outputs • Configurable pulse output to transmit pulses representing a certain linearized total quantity. The pulse length can be set as desired with a maximum frequency of 500Hz. • Unscaled frequency output for retransmission of the incoming pulses as robust square wave forms.

This instruction is meant for users / operators. • The F119-P 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 10 Page 10 For the Operator, the following functions are available: Display process values On the main screen, the primary process values of the F119-P are shown. By default, Total is shown on the upper-line of the display and Flowrate on the bottom line. In the configuration settings for Display, this can be changed to show only Flowrate on the large 12mm digits or to show Total and Accumulated Total simultaneously.
  • Page 11 Page 11 Ending a delivery will cause the following actions to be executed sequentially: 1. Increment last delivery number. 2. Register delivery number, current totalizer values and date / time stamp. 3. Clear the totalizer (this does not influence the value of Accumulated Total or Current Day Total) and immediately start a new delivery without losing totalizer counts.

  • Page 18 Page 18 EXPLANATION OF SETUP-MENU 1 – TOTAL 3.3.2 • First setup the flowmeter at SETUP MENU 5 - Flowmeter. It has a direct influence on the settings for Total. • Change of the type of flowmeter unit (SETUP 5.2 and SETUP 5.3) will cause the Total unit to jump to the default setting of the new flowmeter unit type.
  • Page 19 Page 19 EXPLANATION OF SETUP-MENU 2 – FLOWRATE 3.3.3 • First setup the flowmeter at SETUP MENU 5 - Flowmeter. It has a direct influence on the settings for Flowrate. • Change of the type of flowmeter unit (SETUP 5.2 and SETUP 5.3) will cause the flowrate unit to jump to the default setting of the new flowmeter unit type.
  • Page 20 Page 20 3.3.4 EXPLANATION OF SETUP-MENU 3 - DISPLAY DISPLAY FUNCTION This setting determines which information is shown on the main screen. The function can be set to indicate total, flowrate or accumulated total. • Total: Total is displayed with the large 12mm (0.47”) digits and flowrate is displayed with the 7 mm (0.28”) digits simultaneously.
  • Page 21 Page 21 EXPLANATION OF SETUP-MENU 5 – FLOWMETER 3.3.6 To simplify the configuration of the Flowmeter, total and flow rate settings, the F119-P is equipped with an automatic unit conversion feature. This avoids different K-Factor calculations for Total and Flowrate and all configuration it done inside the Flowmeter menu. To use the automatic unit conversion, you only need to enter the (average) K-Factor and the related measurement unit.
  • Page 22 Page 22 To make use of the automatic unit conversion, Total and Flowrate must have a convertible unit. If this is not possible, HAND should be chosen. This will cause SETUP 5.3 and SETUP 5.4 to disappear and the unit, K-factor and K-factor decimals must be specifically set at SETUP-menu 1 –...
  • Page 23 Page 23 The linearization function uses linearization points to calculate new K-factors based on the measured flowmeter frequency. As shown in the chart above, each point consists of a frequency and a Meter Factor (MFx, indicating the deviation of the K-factor KFx from the average K-factor KF0). When a new frequency is measured, the corresponding Meter Factor is calculated by interpolating between the linearization points.
  • Page 24 Page 24 3.3.8 EXPLANATION OF SETUP-MENU 7 - ANALOG OUTPUT An analog 4-20mA signal is generated according to the flowrate with a 12 bits resolution. The settings for Flowrate (SETUP-menu 2) influence the analog output directly and should be configured first.
  • Page 25 Page 25 FILTER The analog output signal is updated 8 times per second and an instable flowrate can cause a varying output current. With the help of this filter function a more stable but less precise output current can be obtained. The filter principal is based on three input values: filter level (01-99), previous filter value and actual flowrate.
  • Page 26 Page 26 WIDTH When scaled mode is selected for the pulse output, the pulse width determines the time that the output will be active, that is, the duration of the pulse. The pulse width is set in milliseconds in the range 0.001 –...
  • Page 27 Page 27 TRANSMIT DELAY This setting is used to configure and additional delay between receiving a Modbus message and transmitting the reply. The transmit delay is useful on communications busses to allow drivers to switch between transmitting and receiving, such as RS485. The delay can vary from 0-255 msec and is set to 15ms by default.
  • Page 28 Page 28 10.7 DAILY TOTAL If the daily total feature is activated in SETUP 3.2, this setting is used to print the Current Day Total and Previous Day Total on the totalizer ticket. The following can be selected: • No print – current and previous day totals are not printed. •...

  • Page 34: Electrical Installation

    Page 34 ELECTRICAL INSTALLATION • Electro static discharge does inflict irreparable damage to electronics! Before installing or opening the F119-P, the installer has to discharge himself by touching a well-grounded object. • The F119-P must be installed in accordance with the EMC guidelines (Electro Magnetic Compatibility).
  • Page 35 Inside of the Fluidwell unit, the various common ground terminals are connected to each other. It is advised to terminate the wire screens in the vicinity of the sensor and to insulate the wire screen with a shrink tube at the F119-P side.
  • Page 36 Page 36 4.5.4 POWER SUPPLY WIRING • The external power supply must be an approved ELV source, insulated from AC mains by double / reinforced insulation per CSA C22.2 No. 61010-1-12 / UL61010-1. The F119-P can be powered from an extern power supply or via the isolated 4-20mA current loop. An internal power supply is also available in the form of a lithium battery.

  • Page 38 Page 38 TERMINAL 07-08: ANALOG OUTPUT – TYPE AH 4.6.4 An analog output signal proportional to the flowrate is available as standard. The function of the analog output is determined by the settings of SETUP-menu 7: Analog output (see chapter 3). This output is a passive isolated 4-20mA output with the possibility to power the device via the 4-20mA loop.
  • Page 39 Page 39 Pulse-signal NPN / NPN-LP The F119-P is suitable for use with flowmeters which have a NPN output signal. For reliable pulse 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.
  • Page 40 Page 40 Reed-switch The F119-P is suitable for use with flowmeters which have a reed-switch. To avoid pulse bounce from the reed-switch, it is advised to select REED LP – low-pass filter (read chapter 3). Fig. 26: Terminal connections – Reed-switch signal input NAMUR-signal: The F119-P is suitable for flowmeters with an Namur signal.
  • Page 41 Page 41 4.6.7 TERMINAL C1-C6: COMMUNICATION INTERFACE The F119-P is equipped with a communication interface (Type CX/CB/CH) to print a ticket and to configure the unit. We offer special configuration software to completely configure the F119-P and read-out logged data, available on our website.
