Page 5: Introduction
SYSTEM DESCRIPTION OF THE F170-A-OS Functions and features The level indicator model F170-A-OS is a microprocessor driven instrument designed to display the level and percentage as well as monitoring the level with three alarm values for a low-low, low, high and high-high level. - Page 6 Page 6 Configuration of the unit The F170-A-OS was designed to be implemented in many types of applications. For that reason, a SETUP-level is available to configure your F170-A-OS according to your specific requirements. SETUP includes several important features, such as Span, measurement units, signal settings etc.

Page 8: Operator Information And Functions
In general, the F170-A-OS will always act function at Operator level. The information displayed is dependant up on the SETUP-settings. The sensor signal will be measured by the F170-A-OS 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 9 Page 9 Level alarm: When the actual level is outside the allowed range, an alarm message will be displayed at the bottom line of the display indicating the type of alarm: "LO LEVEL ", "HI LEVEL" or "HI-LO LEVEL". The alarm is terminated automatically as soon as the level is in its range again.

Page 19: Analog Output
Page 19 7 - ANALOG OUTPUT A linear 4-20mA signal (option AB: 0-20mA or option AU: 0-10V) output signal is generated according to the calculated level, height or percentage with a 10 bits resolution. Note: When the analog-output is not used, please make sure that setup 71 is disabled, else the battery life-time will be reduced significantly! When a power supply is available but the output is disabled, a 3.5mA signal will be generated. -
