General directions: • The F013-P that came with a power module type PM; 110V-230V AC or type PD/PF with an option OR (the relays can handle 110V-230V AC) shall be connected to the Protective Earth (PE) stud which is installed in the metal back panel.
Within the United States all field wiring must conform to the National Electric Code, NFPA 70, Article 501-4(b). All field wiring enters the F013-P through the bottom of the enclosure and connects to the circuit assembly inside the enclosure. Wiring is routed through cable glands. Please make sure to order the F013-P with the correct drilling pattern and thread (metal) or hole (plastic) sizes.
C22.2 No. 61010-1 / UL61010-1 / EN/IEC 61010-1. The F013-P can be powered from an external power supply. An internal power supply is also available in the form of a lithium battery. When both external and internal power supplies are available, the internal power supply is interrupted and will act as a backup supply.
4.5: Electrical Installation and review paragraph 4.5.3 and 4.5.4 before applying any field or power supply wiring. For Intrinsically Safe applications: read chapter 5. Following terminal connectors are available on the F013-P when supplied with Type PB / PX / PD: ALARM SENSOR SIGNAL...
Fig. 17: Terminal connections - NPN signal input. Pulse-signal PNP / PNP-LP The F013-P is suitable for use with flowmeters which have a PNP output signal. Terminal 3 offers 3.2V which has to be switched by the sensor to terminal 2 (SIGNAL). For a reliable pulse detection, the pulse amplitude has to go above 1.2V.
TERMINAL 4-5: POWER SUPPLY - TYPE PX (DEFAULT) AND PD (OPTION) To power the F013-P an internal battery can be used (type PB) and / or an external DC power supply of 8-30V DC (type PX) or 16-30V DC (type PD).
4.5: Electrical Installation and review paragraph 4.5.3 and 4.5.4 before applying any field or power supply wiring. For Intrinsically Safe applications: read chapter 5. Following terminal connectors are available on the F013-P when supplied with Type PF / PM: POWER SUPPLY ALARM OUTPUT...

4.7.3 TERMINALS 5-7: FLOWMETER INPUT Three basic types of flowmeter signals can be connected to the F013-P: pulse, active pulse or coil. The screen of the signal wire can be connected to the common ground terminal. See paragraph 4.5. The input signal type has to be selected with the correct SETUP-function (read chapter 3.3.2).
Fig. 29: Terminal connections - NPN signal input. Pulse-signal PNP / PNP-LP The F013-P is suitable for use with flowmeters which have a PNP output signal. For a reliable pulse detection, the pulse amplitude has to go above 1.2V. Signal setting PNP-LP employs a low-pass signal noise filter, which limits the maximum input frequency (read chapter 3.3.2).
Page 34 Reed-switch The F013-P is suitable for use with flowmeters which have a reed-switch. To avoid pulse bounce from the reed-switch, it is advised to select REED LP - low-pass filter (read chapter 3.3.2). Fig. 32: Terminal connections - Reed-switch signal input.
The F0-Series can be supplied as suitable for Safe Area or Hazardous Area. Suitability for Intrinsic Safety is indicated in the model code by Type XI (e.g. F013-P-XI). If Type XI is not indicated your device is not suitable for Intrinsically Safe applications!
