    SYSTEM DESCRIPTION OF THE F112-P Functions and features The flowrate / totalizer model F112-P is a microprocessor driven instrument designed to linearise the flowmeters flow curve and to display flowrate, total and accumulated total. This product has been designed with a focus on: ...
  • Page 6 Page 6 Configuration of the unit The F112-P was designed to be implemented in many types of applications. For that reason, a SETUP-level is available to configure your F112-P according to your specific requirements. SETUP includes several important features, such as K-factors, measurement units, signal selection etc.

  • Page 7: Operational

     Take careful notice of the " Safety rules, instructions and precautionary measures " in the front of this manual. This chapter describes the daily use of the F112-P. This instruction is meant for users / operators. 2.2. CONTROL PANEL The following keys are available: Fig.

The following units can be selected: L - m3 - kg - lb. - GAL - USGAL - bbl - _ (no unit). Alteration of the measurement unit will have consequences for operator and SETUP-level values.

  • Page 14: Flowrate

    Page 14 2 - FLOWRATE The settings for total and flowrate are entirely separate. In this way, different units of measurement can be used for each e.g. cubic meters for total and liters for flowrate. The display update time for flowrate is one second or more. Note: these settings also influence the analog output.

  • Page 15: Display

    When used with the internal battery option, the user can expect reliable measurement over a long period of time. The F112-P has several smart power management functions to extend the (optional) battery life time significantly. Two of these functions can be set:...

  • Page 16: Flowmeter

    Page 16 5 - FLOWMETER The F112-P is able to handle several types of input signal. The type of SIGNAL flowmeter pickup / signal is selected with SETUP 51. Note: The selections "active pulse" offer a detection level of 50% of the supply voltage.

  • Page 17: Linearisation

    Page 17 6 - LINEARISATION The linearization function is available to approach the real flow curve better as with the general K-factor (KF0) entered with setup 14 and 24. This to obtain a more accurate flowrate, total and accumulated total as well as the analog and pulse output at any flowmeter frequency. A maximum of 15 linearization-positions can be entered while the interpolation will calculate any other position in-between.

  • Page 18: Analog Output

    Page 18 7 - ANALOG OUTPUT A linear analog (0)4-20mA or 0-10V signal is generated according to the flowrate with a 10 bits resolution. The settings for flowrate (SETUP - 2) influence the analog output directly. The relationship between rate and analog output is set with the following functions: The analog output can be disabled.

  • Page 19: Relay Output

    Page 19 7 - ANALOG OUTPUT (CONTINUED) This function is used to stabilize the analog output signal. FILTER The output value is updated every 0.1 second. With the help of this digital filter a more stable but less precise reading can be obtained. The filter principal is based on three input values: the filter level (01-99), the last analog output value and the last average value.

  • Page 20: Communication (Optional)

    1200 - 2400 - 4800 - 9600 baud For communication purposes, a unique identity can be attributed to every BUS ADDRESS F112-P. This address can vary from 1-255. The communication protocol is Modbus RTU mode. Select OFF, to MODE disable this communication function.
