The F116-P must be installed in accordance with the EMC guidelines (Electro Magnetic Compatibility). • Connect a proper grounding to the metal enclosure as indicated if the F116-P has an incoming power or signal line which carries a hazardous live voltage. The Protective Earth (PE) wire may never be disconnected or removed.
This manual describes the standard unit as well as the available options. For additional information, please contact your supplier. A hazardous situation may occur if the F116-P is not used for the purpose it was designed for or is used incorrectly.

SYSTEM DESCRIPTION Functions and features The flow rate / totalizer model F116-P is a microprocessor driven instrument designed to show the flow rate, the total and the accumulated total of two flow meter inputs, and to calculate and show the differential or summed flow rate and total.
Page 7
Page 7 Configuration of the unit The F116-P is designed for use in many types of applications. For that reason, a setup menu is available to program the F116-P according to your specific requirements. The setup includes several important features, such as K-Factors, engineering units, signal selection, power management (to extend battery life-time), etc.
Page 8 2 OPERATIONAL GENERAL INFORMATION This chapter describes the daily use of the F116-P. This instruction is meant for users / operators. • This device may only be operated by persons who are authorized and trained by the operator of the facility. All instructions in this manual are to be observed.

Page 14 DECIMALS This setting is used to set the amount of digits behind the decimal point for the flow rate indication of input A and B. K-FACTOR This setting is used to set the K-Factor for the flow rate of input A. With the K-Factor, the flowmeter pulse signals are converted to a quantity.
When used with the internal battery option (type PB/PC), the user can expect reliable measurement over a long period of time. The F116-P has several smart power management functions to extend the battery life time significantly. Two of these functions can be set.
BATTERY MODE The F116-P has two modes: operational or shelf. After "shelf" has been selected, the F116-P can be stored for several years; it will not process the sensor signal; the display is switched off but all settings and totals are stored. In this mode, power consumption is extremely low.

The F1-Series can be supplied as suitable for Safe Area or Hazardous Area. Suitability for Intrinsic Safety is indicated in the model code by Type XI (e.g. F116-P-XI). For Intrinsically Safe applications: Installation and identification labels are shown in chapter 5.
Page 21 Terminal label Also on the inside, a terminal label is placed to indicate the location of the terminals and settings for the sensor supply configuration switches. Fig. 8: Identification – Example of F1-Series terminal label (safe area) Serial number and year of production The serial number can be reviewed on the identification label or in SETUP-menu Others.
Page 24 4.4.3 MOUNTING The enclosure can be installed by itself or with the aid of a mounting plate in the configurations shown below. When the unit is installed on a wall or onto a meter, please use components and installation techniques that are suitable for the used materials.
Metal enclosure When the F116-P is supplied with a metal enclosure (aluminum or stainless steel), the enclosure must be grounded in accordance with national and local electrical codes.
Within the United States all field wiring must conform to the National Electric Code, NFPA 70, Article 501-4(b). All field wiring enters the F116-P through the bottom of the enclosure and connects to the circuit assembly inside the enclosure. Wiring is routed through cable glands. Please make sure to order the F116-P with the correct drilling pattern and thread (metal) or hole (plastic) sizes.
Setting the sensor supply Risk of electrocution - High voltage! Make sure, all the leads to the terminals are disconnected from the F116-P and NEVER connect mains power to the unit when the protection cover has been removed! To set the sensor supply, follow these instructions: 1.
4.5: Electrical Installation and review paragraph 4.5.3 and 4.5.4 before applying any field or power supply wiring. For Intrinsically Safe applications (Type XI): read chapter 5. Following terminal connectors are available on the F116-P when supplied with Type XX: Fig. 13: Overview of terminal connectors - Standard configuration and options 4.6.1...
Page 29 4.6.2 TERMINAL 03-04: PULSE OUTPUT R2 The function of this output is set in Setup menu 9 Pulse Output. The maximum pulse frequency of this output is 500Hz. If a relay output option has been supplied, be sure that the output frequency does not exceed 5Hz or else the life-time of the relay will be reduced significantly.
Page 30 Type OT A passive transistor output is available with this option. Max. driving capacity 300mA@50V DC. Fig. 16: Terminal connections - Transistor output (typical) 4.6.4 TERMINAL 07-08: ANALOG OUTPUT An analog output signal proportional to the (differential or summed) flow rate is available as standard and is configured using Setup 8.
Page 31
Page 31 Type AF Floating analog output (type AF) is only available intrinsically safe; please read Chapter 5. A floating 4-20mA signal proportional to the flow rate is available with this option. When the output is disabled, a 3.5mA signal will be generated. Max. driving capacity 1000 Ohm @ 30V DC. Fig.
Fig. 23: Terminal connections - Coil signal input (typical) Pulse-signal NPN / NPN-LP The F116-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 chapter 3).
Page 33
Pulse-signal PNP / PNP-LP The F116-P is suitable for use with flowmeters which have a PNP output signal. 3V is offered on terminal 11 which has to be switched by the sensor to terminal 10 (SIGNAL). For a reliable pulse detection, the pulse amplitude has to go above 1.2V.
Page 34 NAMUR-signal The F116-P is suitable for flowmeters with an Namur signal. The standard F116-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 with power supply type PD, PF, PM.
Page 35 4.6.7 TERMINAL 26-31: TYPE CB / CH / CI - COMMUNICATION (OPTION) Serial communications on hardware layers RS232, RS485 and TTL (intrinsic safety) are possible. Make sure that the hardware layer specific requirements are met to achieve reliable communication and read the Modbus communication protocol and Appendix C.
The F1-Series can be supplied as suitable for Safe Area or Hazardous Area. Suitability for Intrinsic Safety is indicated in the model code by Type XI (e.g. F116-P-XI). If Type XI is not indicated your device is not suitable for Intrinsically Safe applications!
