Page 11: Operator Information And Functions
Page 11 2.3. OPERATOR INFORMATION AND FUNCTIONS In general, the N413-P will always function at Operator level. The information displayed and the functional keys available are dependent upon the SETUP-settings and the active function. NOTE: If the key-sign is displayed, FW-4100-000014-001-EN the particular key(s) or functions are not accessible! ▪... - Page 12 Page 12 ID Number (Only available if enabled). It might be that an ID number (e.g. customer, driver, tank, …) will be asked before a batch can be started. This numeric value can be entered immediately. By pressing the START-key (or by activating external control ‘START’), the entered value will be accepted and the batch started immediately.

Page 14: Installation
Page 14 INSTALLATION 3.1. GENERAL DIRECTIONS • Installation, electrical wiring, start-up and maintenance of this instrument may only be carried out by authorized and trained personnel. Personnel must read and understand this Instruction Manual before carrying out any work. • The N413-P may only be operated by personnel who are authorized and trained by the operator of the facility. -
Page 15: Installation / Surrounding Conditions
Page 15 3.2.2. INSTALLATION / SURROUNDING CONDITIONS Take the relevant IP classification of the enclosure into account (see manufactures plate). Even with an IP67 (Type 4X) enclosure, the unit should not be exposed to harsh unnecessary harsh weather conditions. When used in extreme cold surroundings or varying climatic conditions, take the necessary precautions against moisture by placing a dry sachet of silica gel, for example, inside the control cabinet. -

Page 17: Terminal Connectors
Page 17 Cable and wire selection The unit complies with the Directives and Standards for Electro Magnetic Interference. For a reliable signal transfer and prevention of external signal interference (crosstalk), for signal wiring, the recommendation is made for a shielded (twisted pair) cable which meets at least the Category 5 cable standard. - Page 18 Page 18 Sine-wave signal (Coil): The N413-P can be connected to flowmeters that have a coil output signal. With SETUP 6.1 two sensitivity levels can be selected: • COIL LO: sensitivity from about 120mVp-p. • COIL HI: sensitivity from about 20mVp-p Figure 14: Terminal connections - Coil signal input (typical) Reed-switch: The N413-P is suitable for use with flowmeters which have a reed-switch.
- Page 19 Page 19 Pulse-signal NPN / NPN LP: The N413-P is suitable for use with sensors which have a NPN output signal. For reliable pulse detection, the pulse amplitude has to go above 1.2V. Signal setting NPN-LP employs a low-pass signal noise filter, which limits the maximum input frequency - read par. 4.2.8. Figure 17: Terminal connections - NPN signal input (typical) Active signal: If a sensor gives an active signal (read chapter 3).
- Page 20 Page 20 Terminal 8 - 9; External control - Start With this function, the batch controller can be STARTED remotely. The input must be switched with a potential free contact to the GND-terminal number 8 for at least 100msec. Note: in case the function “ID” is enabled (setup 5.5), external start must be switched twice to start a batch! Figure 20: Terminal connections - External start (typical) Terminal 8-10;...
- Page 21 Page 21 Terminal 8-12; External Alarm: With this function an external alarm release can be connected to the N413-P. A running batch will be interrupted immediately and will be blocked till the alarm status is initialized. Initialization is only accepted if the input is released. Initialization can be done by pressing the RESET button or by switching terminal 11 (EXTERNAL RESET) to terminal 8.
- Page 22 Page 22 Terminal 27-28; 24V DC Power Supply: Use these terminals ONLY for DC operated applications. The supply must be a 24V DC +10%. For AC applications, use terminals 22-24. Terminal 35-37; Printer: Use these terminals to connect a RS232 or RS485 printer. Please read par.

In these, an extensive description of all software settings and hardware connections are provided. ▪ Installation, electrical wiring, start-up and maintenance of the instrument may only be performed by authorized and trained personnel. - Page 24 Page 24 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. The number is a combination of two figures. The first figure indicates the function-group and the second figure the sub-function. Additionally, each function is expressed with a keyword.

Page 28 Repeat: Before EACH batch, the Operator is asked to enter an ID. By ignoring the question, the previous ID will be printed. Application: e.g. installation number or multiple batches. Hand: The operator is never asked to enter an ID, he has to take the initiative to enter an ID himself (by pressing the 9-key at operator level). -

Page 29 K-FACTOR With the K-factor, the flowmeter pulse signals are converted to a quantity or mass. The K-factor is based on the number of pulses generated by the flowmeter per selected measuring unit (SETUP 6.2), for example per cubic feet. The more accurate the K-factor, the more accurate the functioning of the system will be. -
