SYSTEM DESCRIPTION Functions and features The function of the F113-P is to show the flow rate, the total, the accumulated total and to generate a scaled pulse according the accumulated total. The F113-P also can monitor the flow rate and generate the related flow rate alarm signals.
• Take careful notice of the "Safety rules, instructions and precautionary measures" in the front of this manual. This chapter describes the daily use of the F113-P . This instruction is meant for users / operators. 2.1. CONTROL PANEL The control panel has three keys. The available keys are: Fig.

▪ How to program the alarm thresholds The F113-P can give an alarm message on the display. When set to on, at the same time, the digital outputs can give a signal for processing by an external device. Note that it is also possible to set or change the alarm thresholds from the setup menu.
How to enter the setup menu When the setup menu is protected by a password, the F113-P asks for a password to access the setup menu. When in the operator mode, press and hold the PROG/ENTER key for 7 seconds to access the setup menu.

The SELECT/ key and the CLEAR/ key are used for navigation. The explanation assumes that you are in the submenu TOTAL. When you are: • in the first setting and you navigate to the previous setting, the F113-P goes back to the related main menu.
Page 12 3.1.2. EXPLANATION OF SETUP MENU 1 - TOTAL This setting is used to select the engineering unit for the indication of the total, the UNIT accumulated total and the pulse output. When you change the engineering unit, you must recalculate and reprogram the K-factor for the (accumulated) total.
The cut-off has to be entered in seconds. 3.1.4. EXPLANATION OF SETUP MENU 3 - ALARM These settings determine how the flow rate is monitored and how the F113-P will process the alarm conditions. For the setup of the configurable outputs, refer to setup menu: Relays. FLOWZERO When the flow rate is zero, then it is possible to ignore or disable the flow rate monitoring.
When used with the internal battery option (type PB/PC), the user can expect reliable measurement over a long period of time. The F113-P has several smart power management functions to extend the battery life time significantly. Two of these functions can be set.
Page 15 3.1.8. EXPLANATION OF SETUP MENU 7 - ANALOG OUTPUT A linear 4-20mA signal (option AB: 0-20mA or option AU: 0-10V) output signal is generated that represents the flowrate. The settings for the flow rate influence the analog output directly. The relationship between the flow rate and the analog output is set with the following settings.
3.1.11. EXPLANATION OF SETUP MENU A - OTHERS For support and maintenance it is important to have information about the characteristics of the F113-P . Your supplier will ask for this information when support is required. MODEL This setting shows the model name.
When used in very cold surroundings or varying climatic conditions, inside the instrument case, take the necessary precautions against moisture. Mount the F113-P onto a solid structure to avoid vibrations. For use in Safe and Hazardous Areas (or Locations), the following conditions apply: Relative humidity: <...

4.4.1. GENERAL INSTALLATION GUIDELINES • The F113-P that came with a power module type PM; 110V-230V AC or type PD/PF with an option OR (the relays can handle 110V-230V AC) shall be connected to the Protective Earth (PE) stud which is installed in the metal back panel. The metal front panel is connected to the Protective Earth by the mounting screws and serrated washers.
Metal enclosure When the F113-P is supplied with a metal enclosure (aluminum or stainless steel), the enclosure must be grounded in accordance with national and local electrical codes. To ground the field mounted unit, the PE conductor must be connected to the PE stud which is located in the metal back cover, as indicated in the image below.
Do not use the terminal 00 to connect the protective earth wire, the 00 and the common ground terminals are internally connected. Be careful, to prevent damage to equipment when you connect different power supplies (sensor, PLC, etc.). Inside the Fluidwell display, the common grounds are internally connected to each other.
Page 24 4.4.5. PLASTIC (GRP) ENCLOSURE The PE connection The F113-P in a GRP enclosure meets the requirements of class 2 (double insulated). Therefore the incoming PE wire is terminated with an insulating end cap. Type PM (110-230V AC) Type OR (8-24V AC) Type OR (8-30V DC) FW_F113P_v1901_02_EN.docx...

Fig. 22: Terminal connections - Reed-switch signal input (typical) NAMUR-signal: The F113-P is suitable for flowmeters with an Namur signal. The standard F113-P is not able to power the Namur sensor, as an external power supply for the sensor is required. However, a 8.2V sensor supply voltage (terminal 11) can be provided via types PD-PM.
