  • Page 8: Fig. 5: Leading Zero (Typical)

    Page 8 ▪ Leading zero The amount of leading zeros is dependent on the batch maximum setting. In this menu the leading zeros will show. When you confirm the selection with the PROG/ENTER key, the F132-P will hide the leading zeros in the operational preset menu. It is not possible to enter a preset value which exceeds the batch maximum setting.
  • Page 9: Configuration

    Page 9 ▪ Low-battery alarm Only use original batteries. Original batteries can be ordered at the manufacturer. The use of unapproved batteries will void the warranty. • At the end of the battery’s life-time, the voltage starts to drop. When the voltage becomes too low, the battery indicator comes on.

  • Page 20: Installing The Hardware

    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.
  • Page 21: Protective Earth (Pe) Connections

    Page 21 4.4.2 PROTECTIVE EARTH (PE) CONNECTIONS Inside the unit, different types of bonding and earthing are used. The common ground is mostly used for termination of the wire shields; the Protective Earth (PE) is used for electrical safety. For externally powered installations, route the Protective Earth (PE) grounding conductor into the enclosure together with the incoming power conductors.
  • Page 22: Aluminum Enclosure - Field Mounted

    Do not use the terminal 00 to connect the protective earth wire, the 00 and the common ground terminals are internally connected.
