Page 5: Introduction
Page 5 INTRODUCTION 1.1. SYSTEM DESCRIPTION OF THE F173-A-OS Functions and features The level indicator model F173-A-OS is a microprocessor driven instrument designed to display the linearized level and percentage as well as monitoring the level with four alarm values for a low-low, low, high and high-high level. - Page 6 Page 6 Configuration of the unit The F173-A-OS was designed to be implemented in many types of applications. For that reason, a SETUP-level is available to configure your F173-A-OS according to your specific requirements. SETUP includes several important features, such as Span, measurement units, signal settings etc. All setting as are stored in EEPROM memory and will not get lost in case of power break-down or empty battery.

Page 7: Operational
Page 7 OPERATIONAL 2.1. GENERAL The F173-A-OS 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. Take careful notice of the " Safety rules, instructions and precautionary measures " in the front of this manual. -
Page 8: Operator Information And Functions
Page 8 2.3. OPERATOR INFORMATION AND FUNCTIONS In general, the F173-A-OS will always act function at Operator level. The information displayed is dependant up on the SETUP-settings. The sensor signal will be measured by the F173-A-OS 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 Level alarm When the actual level is outside the allowed range, an alarm message will be displayed at the bottom line of the display indicating the type of alarm: "LO LEVEL ", "HI LEVEL" or "HI-LO LEVEL". The alarm is terminated automatically as soon as the level is in its range again.

Page 10 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. - Page 11 Page 11 Matrix structure SETUP-level: SCROLLING THROUGH SETUP-LEVEL Selection 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 function.
- Page 12 Page 12 To change or a select a value or value: To change a value, use to select the digits and to increase that value. To select a setting, both and can be used. When the new value is not valid, the increase sign or decrease-sign will be displayed while you are programming.

Page 16: Power Management
Page 16 4 - POWER MANAGEMENT When used with the internal battery option (type PB / PC), the user may hold the concern of reliable measurement over a long period of time. The F173-A-OS has several smart power management functions to extend the battery life time significantly. Two of these functions can be set: The calculation of the display-information influences the power LCD NEW consumption significantly. - Page 17 Page 17 5 – SENSOR (CONTINUED) To ignore e.g. vibration, a low-level cut-off can be set as percentage over CUT-OFF the full range of 16mA (or 20mA). When the analog value is less then required with this setting, the signal will be ignored. The cut-off value can be programmed is the range 0.0 - 99.9%.

Page 18: Linearisation
Page 18 6 - LINEARISATION The linearisation function is available to correct for the tank shape, to approach the real contents of the tank at any height, beyond the general Span entered with setup 13. A maximum of fifteen linearization-positions can be entered while the interpolation will calculate any other position in-between. -
Page 19: Analog Output
Page 19 6 - LINEARISATION (CONTINUED) The percentage is displayed at the bottom line of the display. PERCENTAGE / With value 0% the M-Factor is disabled. M-FACTOR 61 TO 6F The M-Factor is displayed at the top-line of the display. The minimum value to be entered is 0.000001 and the maximum value is 9.999999. - Page 20 Page 20 7 - ANALOG OUTPUT (CONTINUED) The initial minimum analog output value is 0/4mA or 0V. However, this TUNE MIN / 4MA value might differ slightly due to external influences such as temperature for example. The 0/4mA or 0V value can be tuned precisely with this setting.
