Page 3 SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS Any responsibility is lapsed if the instructions and procedures as described in this manual are not followed. LIFE SUPPORT APPLICATIONS: The F133-P is not designed for use in life support appliances, devices, or systems where malfunction of the product can reasonably be expected to result in a personal injury.
Page 4 ABOUT THE OPERATION MANUAL This operation manual is divided into two main sections: The daily use of the unit is described in chapter 2 "Operation". These instructions are meant for users. The following chapters and appendices are exclusively meant for electricians/technicians. These provide a detailed description of all software settings and hardware installation guidance.
Page 6 INTRODUCTION 1.1. SYSTEM DESCRIPTION OF THE F133-P Functions and features The delivery controller / dispenser model F133-P is a microprocessor driven instrument designed for the delivery of unknown quantities as well as displaying the flowrate, delivered total and delivered accumulated total.
Page 7 Configuration of the unit The F133-P was designed to be implemented in many types of applications. For that reason, a SETUP-level is available to configure your F133-P according to your specific requirements. SETUP includes several important features, such as K-factors, measurement units, signal selection etc.
Page 8
Page 8 2.3. OPERATOR INFORMATION AND FUNCTIONS In general, the F133-P will always function at Operator level. The information displayed is dependent upon the SETUP-settings. All pulses generated by the connected flowmeter are measured by the F133-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.
Page 9
Page 9 Display Total and accumulated Total Press STOP to display the Total and Accumulated Total. These totalizers do count the flowmeters signal continuously, even when no process is running. The value for Total can be initialized. To do so, be sure Total is displayed. First press PROG followed by STOP.
Page 10
Page 10 2.4. DISPENSER FUNCTIONAL DIAGRAM The function of the F133-P depends on the different settings in the setup menu. The example is given for a typical configuration. START THE DELIVERY PAUSE / STOP THE DELIVERY (pause is enabled) STOP THE DELIVERY (overrun timer is set) LEGEND Idle, waits for new delivery.
Page 11 CONFIGURATION 3.1. INTRODUCTION This and the following chapters are exclusively meant for electricians and non-operators. In these, an extensive description of all software settings and hardware connections are provided. Mounting, electrical installation, start-up and maintenance of the instrument may only be carried out by trained personnel authorized by the operator of the facility.

The following units can be selected: L - m3 - kg - lb. - GAL - USGAL - bbl – no unit. When you change the measurement unit, you must recalculate and enter the K-factor for the (accumulated) total.
Page 15
Page 15 2 - FLOWRATE The settings for preset 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. UNIT SETUP - 21 determines the measurement unit for flowrate.

Page 27 Pulse-signal NPN / NPN-LP: The F133-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. Pulse-signal PNP / PNP-LP: The F133-P is suitable for use with flowmeters which have a PNP output signal.
Page 28
Page 28 Active signals 8.2V - 12V and 24V: If a sensor gives an active signal, please read par. 3.2.3. The detection levels are 50% of the selected supply voltage; approximately 4V (ACT_8.2) or 4V (ACT_12) or 12V (ACT_24). Active signal selection may well be desired in the case of power supply type PD, PF, PM being supplied for sensor supply.
