User Manual F013-A SETUP MENU EXPLANATIONS 5.4.1 MENU 1: TOTAL Calculating the Span for Total The Span is used to convert the flowmeter output current to a quantity. The basis is the flow rate per second at 20 mA signal. Two examples are given.
F013-A User Manual ● The flowmeter generates 20 mA at a flow rate of 2,481.3 Liter/minute. ● The flow will be displayed using L/min ( 2.1: FLOW RATE > UNIT 2.2: FLOW RATE > TIME UNIT ● Thus, the span is 2481.3.
With this setting, the optional backlight can be turned on or off. BACKLIGHT BACKLIGHT ALARM If the F013-A generates an alarm, the backlight can be set to change to red. The following settings are available: OFF: during an alarm the color is white.
FILTER The analog output signal of a flowmeter mirrors the actual process value. This signal is sampled several times per second by the F013-A. Consequently, random and/or fast changes in sensor signal may lead to instable displayed process values. With the help of the filter setting a stable and accurate reading can be obtained.
(0)4mA at flow rate zero, this function is needed to set the minimum input current at flow rate zero. The input loop powered version of the F013-A (Type PL) requires an input signal of at least 4 mA, not lower.
Personnel must read and understand this Operating Manual before carrying out its instructions. ● The F013-A 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.
