Page 5: Introduction
Page 5 INTRODUCTION 1.1. SYSTEM DESCRIPTION OF THE 101A(I) Functions and features The flowrate / totalizer model 101A(i) 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: ultra-low power consumption to allow long-life battery powered applications (type PB / PC), intrinsic safety for use in hazardous applications (type XI), several mounting possibilities with GRP enclosures for industrial surroundings,...
Page 6: Operational
Page 6 Configuration of the unit The 101A(i) was designed to be implemented in many types of applications. For that reason, a SETUP-level is available to configure your 101A(i) according to your specific requirements. SETUP includes several important features, such as K-factors, measurement units, signal selection etc.
Page 7: Operator Information And Functions
Page 7 2.3. OPERATOR INFORMATION AND FUNCTIONS In general, the 101A(i) will always act at Operator level. The information displayed is dependant upon the SETUP-settings. All pulses generated by the connected flowmeter are measured by the 101A(i) 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. 3.2. PROGRAMMING SETUP-LEVEL 3.2.1. GENERAL Configuration of the 101A(i) is done at -level.
Page 9 Page 9 Matrix structure SETUP-level: function-group 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.
Page 10 Page 10 To change or select a value: To change a value, use to select the digits and to increase that value. To select a setting, both can be used. If the new value is invalid, the increase sign or decrease-sign will be displayed while you are programming.

Page 12 3.2.3. EXPLANATION OF SETUP-FUNCTIONS 1 - TOTAL MEASUREMENT UNIT SETUP - 11 determines the measurement unit for total, accumulated total and pulse output. 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 13: Flowrate
Page 13 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 14: Display
Page 14 3 - DISPLAY FUNCTION The large 17mm digits can be set to display total or flowrate. When "total" is selected, both total and flowrate are displayed simultaneously. measuring unit while total will be displayed after pressing SELECT. 4 - POWER MANAGEMENT When used with the internal battery option, the user can expect reliable measurement over a long period of time.
Page 15: Linearisation
Page 15 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 16: Analog Output
Page 16 7 - ANALOG OUTPUT A linear analog (0)4-20mA 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: DISABLE / ENABLE The analog output can be disabled.
Page 17: Analog Output (Continued)
Page 17 7 - ANALOG OUTPUT (CONTINUED) FILTER This function is used to stabilize the analog output signal. 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 18 9 - COMMUNICATION (OPTIONAL) The functions described below deal with hardware that is not part of the standard delivery. Programming of these functions does not have any effect if this hardware has not been installed. Consult Appendix C and the Modbus communication protocol description for a detailed explanation. BAUDRATE For external control, the following communication speeds can be selected: 1200 - 2400 - 4800 - 9600 baud...
