E115-P INTRODUCTION SYSTEM DESCRIPTION The flowrate indicator / totalizer model E115-P (also referred to as a unit) is an advanced explosion proof microprocessor-driven instrument designed to show the current flowrate, the totalized flow and the accumulated totalized flow, current and previous day total, and several historical day totals. The E115-P is designed to detect flow direction and to show a positive or negative flowrate, totals for both directions and cumulative totals.
E115-P PRODUCT FEATURES The main features of the unit are: ● User-friendliness: optical keys for through-the-glass operation (no need to touch the glass or remove the cover). ● Bright backlight enables good readings in full sunlight and darkness. ● Usability: wide operational temperature, high ingress protection rating and international certification.

E115-P OPERATION This unit may only be operated by authorized and trained personnel who have read and understood this manual, particularly Section 2: Safety [»5] INTRODUCTION This chapter describes the daily use and operation of the E115-P. For this, the unit is equipped with a control panel that provides the operator with various functions, information and operating modes.
E115-P The display contains one line with large digits at the top and one line with small digits at the bottom. The top line is mainly used to display key process information, while the bottom line usually displays less important information or system messages. Both lines are surrounded by various symbols to indicate operating mode, function, status and measurement unit.
E115-P The Key lock symbol appears on the display to indicate that the keys are locked or disabled: Fig. 5: Key lock symbol To unlock the optical keys, an unlock sequence needs to be performed. Start the unlock sequence by activating any of the optical keys. The display will now prompt the operator to activate each optical key in sequence: PROG >...
E115-P 4.3.2 SELECTING DISPLAYED INFORMATION By pressing the SELECT-key, all relevant information can be reviewed on the display. When no key is pressed for 20 seconds, the display will jump back to the main screen. The following image of the display shows the main screen with Total shown on the top line and Flowrate on the bottom line.
E115-P The operator can clear Total by executing following steps: 1. Make sure Total is shown on the display. 2. Push the CLEAR-key. The display shows ‘PUSH CLEAR’ on the bottom line and the value of Total on the top line. 3.
E115-P Historical day totals Besides directly reviewing the Current Day Total and Previous Day Total, a list of the last 15 Previous Day Totals is saved. TOTAL Fig. 7: Example of historical day total from 8 days ago The list can be reviewed in LOG-mode in the following way: 1.

Differential Total, ● accumulated Total will count up. Reverse flow will be interpreted as positive flow. Differential Total, ●...
E115-P FLOWMETER K-FACTOR B Converts the flowmeter pulse signals of flowmeter B to a quantity. The K-factor is based on the number of pulses generated by the flowmeter per measurement unit selected in 6.7: FLOWMETER > UNIT The more accurate the Flowmeter > K-factor, the more accurate the system.
E115-P ANALOG OUTPUT CUT-OFF A low flow cut-off can be set as a percentage of the full range of 16 mA, for example, to ignore leakage. When the flow is less than the required rate, the current will be the minimum signal (4 mA, or 20mA when the analog output is programmed ‘up-side-down’).
E115-P Optionally, two relay outputs are available (Type OR): D5 and D6. The output functionality of these outputs corresponds to the functionality of outputs D1 and D2 (respectively). The digital (transistor) output D1 and D2 have a maximum frequency of 500 Hz (scaled pulse output).
E115-P MODBUS COMMUNICATION SPEED Sets the baud rate. This setting should match the speed used on the communications bus. The following communication speeds can be selected: 1200, 2400, 4800, 9600, 9600HP, 19200, 38400 Communication speeds from 9600HP and upwards are more power consuming.

E115-P 6.4.9 TERMINALS R1-R4 AND R8-R11: DIGITAL OUTPUTS D1-D2 AND D5-D6 The functionality of the pulse output is programmed through SETUP 8: PULSE OUTPUT [»30] ● The digital outputs D1 and D2 have a maximum frequency of 500 Hz for scaled pulse and 10kHz for pulse retransmission.
E115-P 6.4.10 TERMINALS S1-S3 SIGNAL A AND S4-S6 SIGNAL B: FLOWMETER INPUT Three basic types of flowmeter signals can be connected to the unit: pulse, active pulse or sine- wave (coil). The screen of the signal wire must be connected to the common ground terminal (unless earthed at the sensor itself).
Page 47
E115-P ● For reliable pulse detection, the signal must always be above 1.4 V or below 1.0 V. ● For less power consumption, use a sensor which is normally open and briefly closed. ● For better noise immunity and if no high sensor input frequencies are expected, select signal setting PNP-LP (low-pass signal noise filter) which limits the maximum input frequency to avoid pulse bounce (see SETUP...

E115-P NAMUR signal The unit is suitable for flowmeters with a NAMUR signal (units with PX cannot power the NAMUR sensor). If required the NAMUR sensor can be supplied via the 8.2 V sensor supply (terminal P3), only available with power supply type PD. See for more information.
E115-P 6.4.11 TERMINALS E1-E2: EXTERNAL RESET WITH CLEAR-LOCK - TYPE IB Use this function to reset the total to zero with an external switch (pushbutton). The total resets the moment a falling edge is detected (the moment the switch closes). To disable the ”Clear Total”-function of the optical keys, keep this input closed.
