INTRODUCTION 1.1. SYSTEM DESCRIPTION OF THE F110-P Functions and features The flowrate / totalizer model F110-P is a microprocessor driven instrument designed 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), ...

Page 6 Configuration of the unit The F110-P was designed to be implemented in many types of applications. For that reason, a SETUP-level is available to configure your F110-P according to your specific requirements. SETUP includes several important features, such as K-factors, measurement units, signal selection etc.
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 F110-P. This instruction is meant for users / operators. 2.2. CONTROL PANEL The following keys are available: Fig.
SETUP-settings. All pulses generated by the connected flowmeter are measured by the F110-P 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.
Personnel must read and understand this Operating Manual before carrying out its instructions. The F110-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 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 11 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 and can be used. If the new value is invalid, the increase sign or decrease-sign will be displayed while you are programming.
Page 13 3.2.3. EXPLANATION OF SETUP-FUNCTIONS 1 - TOTAL SETUP - 11 determines the measurement unit for total, accumulated total MEASUREMENT UNIT 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 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.
When used with the internal battery option, the user can expect reliable measurement over a long period of time. The F110-P has several smart power management functions to extend the (optional) battery life time significantly. Two of these functions can be set:...
Page 16 5 - FLOWMETER The F110-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 6 - 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 18 6 - 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.
1200 - 2400 - 4800 - 9600 baud For communication purposes, a unique identity can be attributed to every BUS ADDRESS F110-P. This address can vary from 1-255. The communication protocol is Modbus ASCII or RTU mode. Select OFF, MODE to disable this communication function.
Personnel must read and understand this Operating Manual before carrying out its instructions. The F110-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.
Do ground the aluminum enclosure properly as indicated, if the F110-P has been supplied with the 115-230V AC power-supply type PM. The green / yellow wire between the back-casing and removable terminal-block may never be removed.
Page 24 4.4.2. VOLTAGE SELECTION SENSOR SUPPLY For Intrinsically Safe applications: read chapter 5. Type PB / PC / PX (AP) - battery powered and output loop-powered applications: Terminal 11 provides a limited supply voltage of 3.2 V DC (coil signals 1.2V) for the signal output of the flowmeter.

Page 26 Terminal 05-06; scaled pulse output R1: Setup 7 (par. 3.4.4.) determines the pulse output function. The maximum pulse frequency of this output is 60Hz. If a relay output option has been supplied, be sure that the output frequency does not exceed 5Hz or else the life-time of the relay will be reduced significantly.

Page 27 Terminal 07-08; basic POWER SUPPLY - type PX - output loop powered: Connect an external power supply of 8-30VDC to these terminals or a 4-20mA loop. Do connect the "-" to terminal 7 and the "+" to terminal 8. When power is applied to these terminals, the (optional) internal battery will be disabled / enabled automatically to extend the battery life time.

Pulse-signal PNP / PNP-LP: The F110-P is suitable for use with flowmeters which have a PNP output signal. 3.2V is offered on terminal 11 which has to be switched by the sensor to terminal 10 (SIGNAL). For a reliable pulse detection, the pulse amplitude has to go above 1.2V.
Page 31
REED LP - low-pass filter (read par. 3.2.3.) NAMUR-signal: The F110-P is suitable for flowmeters with an Namur signal. The standard F110-P is not able to power the Namur sensor, as an external power supply for the sensor is required. However, a 8.2V sensor supply voltage (terminal 11) can be provided with power supply type PD, PF, PM.
