  • Page 5: Introduction

    Fig. 1: Typical application Configuration The F113-A is designed for use in many types of applications. For that reason, a setup menu is available to program the F113-A according to your specific requirements. The setup includes several important features, such as span, engineering units, signal selection, power management (to extend battery life-time), etc.

  • Page 6: 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 F113-A. This instruction is meant for users / operators. 2.1. CONTROL PANEL The control panel has three keys. The available keys are: Fig.
  • Page 7 ▪ How to program the alarm thresholds The F113-A can give an alarm message on the display. When set to on, at the same time, the digital outputs can give a signal for processing by an external device. Note that it is also possible to set or change the alarm thresholds from the setup menu.

  • Page 8: Configuration

    How to enter the setup menu When the setup menu is protected by a password, the F113-A asks for a password to access the setup menu. When in the operator mode, press and hold the PROG/ENTER key for 7 seconds to access the setup menu.
