Page 10: Operation
2.1. GENERAL This chapter describes the daily use of the N414-P. This instruction is meant for users / operators. • The N414-P may only be operated by authorized and trained personnel. • All instructions in this manual are to be observed. -
Page 11: Operator Information And Functions
The N414-P is equipped with a smart – self learning – overrun correction: at the end of the process, the outputs will be switched-off earlier than the PRESET value is reached, taking the overrun quantity of previous batches into account. -
Page 12: Fig. 10: Example Display Information When Interrupted
Depending on the configuration settings, at the end of a completed or stopped batch: a) The N414-P prints a receipt automatically (AUTO). b) The N414-P shows the RECEIPT PUSH PRINT message. When you push the PRINT key, the receipt is printed (on confirmation). -
Page 13: Operator Alarms
▪ External alarm The N414-P can receive an external alarm during a batch. This can be set with SETUP 7.1 – Alarm. When the alarm is activated a running batch will be interrupted immediately and any other function will be blocked until the alarm status is cleared. -
Page 14: Installation
8. Set the Weights and Measures (W&M) switch to the operation position. 9. Commission the N414-P. 10. When the N414-P is successfully commissioned, install the security cap over the W&M switch and secure it with a certified lock-wire and a compression seal. -
Page 15: Mechnical Installation
Page 15 3.2. MECHNICAL INSTALLATION The N414-P has a mechanically secured, tamper-proof W&M switch to lock (by hardware) the setup menu.

Page 17: Voltage Selection Sensor Supply
Three basic types of flowmeter signals can be connected to the unit: pulse, active pulse or coil. The screen of the signal wire must be connected to the common ground terminal. The input signal type has to be selected with the correct SETUP-function (read par. 4.2.8.). FW-N414-P-M_v0203_01_EN.docx... -
Page 18: Fig. 16: Terminal Connections - Coil Signal Input (Typical)
Fig. 17: Terminal connections - Reed-switch signal input (typical) Namur: The N414-P is suitable for flowmeters with an Namur signal. The N414-P is able to power the Namur sensor, as an external power supply for the sensor is not required. -
Page 19: Fig. 19: Terminal Connections - Npn Signal Input (Typical)
Page 19 Pulse-signal NPN / NPN LP: The N414-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. -
Page 20: Fig. 22: Terminal Connections - External Start (Typical)
Terminal 11 can also be used to block the batch process: as long as this input is switched to Terminal 8, it is not possible to start a batch (the START button on the keyboard is blocked as well). Fig. 24: Terminal connections - External reset (typical) FW-N414-P-M_v0203_01_EN.docx... -
Page 21: Fig. 25: Terminal Connections - External Alarm (Typical)
Page 21 Terminal 8-12; External Alarm: With this function an external alarm release can be connected to the N414-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. -

Page 23: Configuration
4.2.1. GENERAL Configuration of the N414-P is done at SETUP menu. SETUP menu is reached by pressing the PROG/ENTER key for 7 seconds; at which time, both arrows will be displayed. In order to return to the operator level, PROG will need to be pressed for three seconds. Alternatively, if no keys are pressed for 2 minutes, the unit will exit SETUP automatically. - Page 24 Alterations will only be set after ENTER has been pressed! To return to OPERATOR-level: In order to return to the operator level, PROG will have to be pressed for three seconds. Also, when no keys are pressed for 2 minutes, SETUP will be left automatically.

EXPLANATION OF SETUP 6 - FLOWMETER *Below parameters are metrologically relevant thus mechanically secured with the W&M switch. The N414-P is able to handle high and low frequency pulses. Make sure to use the right terminal connection (see chapter installation). -
Page 29: Explanation Of Setup 7 - Control
With this function, it is determined if a pulse will be generated according to the quantity batched or according to accumulated total. With setting “batch” the pulse generator will be set to zero when a new batch is started and does not reflect the complete totalized volume. FW-N414-P-M_v0203_01_EN.docx... -
