Page 5: Introduction
SYSTEM DESCRIPTION OF THE C401 Functions and features The C401 Dispenser is designed to be mounted inside a cabinet on a trailer to perform deliveries of Hydrogen or other gasses in combination with a Rheonik Coriolis flowmeter with RHE28 or similar transmitter.

▲ or ▼key causes the display to switch from volume to mass, and vice-versa. OPERATOR INFORMATION AND FUNCTIONS When the C401 Dispenser is at Operator level and ready to perform a new task, one of the following delivery screens is shown, depending on the configuration of the volume calculation functions: At the top of the screen a status bar is displayed.
Page 7: Control Panel
E.g. ‘Drücke CLEAR zum Fortfahren’. CONTROL PANEL The following keys are available: Fig. 2: Control panel The functions of the keys at operator level, depend on the actual status of the C401: Functions of the keys in BEREIT status...

Page 9: Making Deliveries
If the Zeroing operation was not successful (e.g. when the flowrate was not set to zero), an error will be displayed. The C401 waits for the flowmeter to finish the Zeroing process. If this fails, a 2 minute timeout on the Zeroing process guarantees that the Zeroing process will always finish.
Page 10 (0). This is also the moment at which the operator must close the manual valve within 5 minutes. KOMPLETT When the flow rate has reached zero (0), the C401 will enter the status: the delivery is completed and a delivery summary is shown indicating the delivered quantity, the duration of the delivery and the unique delivery number (Lieferungsnummer).
Page 11: Forced Stop
Page 11 FORCED STOP If, for some reason, it is not possible to return the flow rate to zero (0), the C401 will wait 5 minutes before signalling a warning: At this point, if the operator is able to stop the flow, the delivery will be finished without any error.

Page 32 5.2.2 Switches The C401 is equipped with three switches that prevent unintentional changing of (metrological) parameters. Furthermore, a switch is installed to detect opening and closing of the enclosure door. All switch actions are logged in the event logbook with an indication of the new state. If the switch action also caused the Access Level to change, an additional record is logged with the new level.
Page 33 Access Level 0, 1 or 2 can be changed. Only a few parameters can be changed directly via the control panel on the device; most parameters can only be changed by using the Configuration Tool in combination with the right Access Level. FW-C401-M_v0105_01_EN.docx...
