  • Page 5: Introduction

    Page 5 INTRODUCTION 1.1. SYSTEM DESCRIPTION OF THE F010-U Functions and features The flowrate indicator model F010-U is a microprocessor driven instrument designed to display the actual flowrate. This product has been designed with a focus on: ▪ ultra-low power consumption to allow long-life battery powered applications (type PB / PC), ▪...

  • Page 6: Operational

    Page 6 OPERATIONAL 2.1. GENERAL ▪ The F010-U 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 7 Page 7 2.3. OPERATOR INFORMATION AND FUNCTIONS In general, the F010-U will always act at Operator level. The information displayed is dependant upon the SETUP-settings. The signal generated by the connected flowmeter is measured by the F010-U 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 8: Configuration

    Page 8 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 9 Page 9 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 13 Page 13 2 - DISPLAY BARGRAPH The bar graph (pie graph) displayed at operator level is percentage-wise related to the input signal: minimum signal is 0% (setup 44) and maximum signal is 100% (setup 45). With this function, the bar graph can be enabled / disabled. Following selections are available: OFF - ON The functions below will only effect the optional LED-backlight.
  • Page 14 Page 14 4 - FLOWMETER SIGNAL The F010-U can process the 0-10V 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 10V.
  • Page 15 Page 15 4 - FLOWMETER (CONTINUED) TUNE MIN / 0V With this setting it is possible to calibrate the input value for 0V as the signal from the flowmeter might not be exact 0.0V at flowrate zero. This function will measure the real output value at flow zero. ▪...
