Fig. 1: Typical application for the F012-P. Configuration of the unit The F012-P has been designed to be implemented in many types of applications. For that reason, a SETUP-level is available to configure your F012-P according to your specific requirements.
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 F012-P. This instruction is meant for users / operators. 2.2. CONTROL PANEL The following keys are available: Fig.
In general, the F012-P will always function at Operator level. The information displayed is dependant upon the SETUP-settings The signal from the connected sensor is processed by the F012-P 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.
Operating Manual before carrying out its instructions. The F012-P may only be operated by personnel who are authorized and trained by the operator of the facility. All instructions in this manual are to be observed.

Page 9 Matrix structure SETUP-level: 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, which is displayed below the word "SETUP" at the bottom of the display. The number is a combination of two figures. The first figure indicates the function-group and the second figure the sub-function.

Page 12 3.2.3. EXPLANATION OF SETUP-FUNCTIONS 1 - TOTAL SETUP - 11 determines the measurement unit for total and accumulated MEASUREMENT UNIT total. The following units can be selected: L - m3 - kg - lb. - GAL - USGAL - bbl - _ (no unit). Alteration of the measurement unit will have consequences for operator and SETUP-level values.
Page 13 2 - FLOWRATE The settings for total and flowrate are entirely separate. In this way, different units of measurement can be used for each e.g. cubic meters for total and liters for flowrate. The display update time for flowrate is one second or more. SETUP - 21 determines the measurement unit for flowrate.
When used with the internal battery option, the user can expect reliable measurement over a long period of time. The F012-P has several smart power management functions to extend the battery life time significantly. Two of these functions can be set:...

This unit must be installed in accordance with the EMC guidelines (Electro Magnetic Compatibility). Do ground the aluminum casing properly as indicated, if the F012-P has been supplied with the 115-230V AC power-supply type PM. The green / yellow wire between the back- casing and removable terminal-block may never be removed.
TYPE: PD OPTION: ZB SIGNAL Fig. 8: Overview of terminal connectors F012-P-(PB / PD / PX) and options. SENSOR SUPPLY Type PB / PD / PX - terminal 3: sensor supply 1.2V, 3.2V: Terminal 3 provides a limited supply voltage of 3.2 V DC (coil signals 1.2V) for the signal output of the flowmeter.

Common ground unit Pulse-signal NPN / NPN-LP: The F012-P is suitable for use with flowmeters which have a NPN output signal. For reliable pulse detection, the pulse amplitude has to go below 1.2V. Signal setting NPN-LP employs a low-pass signal noise filter, which limits the maximum input frequency - read par. 3.2.3.
Page 22
Page 22 Pulse-signal PNP / PNP-LP: The F012-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.

Common ground unit NAMUR-signal: The F012-P is suitable for flowmeters with an Namur signal. The standard F012-P is not able to power the Namur sensor, as an external power supply for the sensor is required. However, a 8.2V sensor supply voltage (terminal 6) can be provided with type PD.
PF / PM PULSE INPUT SIGNAL Fig. 9: Overview of terminal connectors F012-P-(PF / PM) and options. SENSOR SUPPLY Type PF-PM: Sensor supply: 1.2, 3.2V, 8.2V, 12V or 24 V: With this option, a real power supply for the sensor is available. The flowmeter can be powered with 1.2, 3.2, 8.2, 12 or 24 V DC (max.
