  • Page 6: Introduction

    SYSTEM DESCRIPTION Functions and features The flow rate / totalizer model F113-A is a microprocessor driven instrument designed to show the flow rate, the total and the accumulated total. It can generate a scaled pulse according to the total and an analog output according to the flow, and generate high and low flow alarms.
  • Page 7 Page 7 Configuration of the unit The F113-A is designed for use in many types of applications. For that reason, a setup menu is available to program the F113-A according to your specific requirements. The setup includes several important features, such as span, engineering units, signal selection, power management (to extend battery life-time), etc.

In this way, different engineering units can be used for each e.g. cubic meters for total and liters for flow rate. FLOW RATE UNIT This setting is used to select the engineering unit for the indication of the flow rate.

  • Page 15: Menu 4 - Display

    When used with the internal battery option (type PB/PC), the user can expect reliable measurement over a long period of time. The F113-A has several smart power management functions to extend the battery life time significantly. Two of these functions can be set.

  • Page 16: Menu 7 - Analog Output

    Page 16 CUT-OFF To ignore e.g. leakage of the flow or vibration, a low-flow cut-off can be set as percentage over the full range of 16mA (or 20mA). When the analog value is less than the programmed percentage, with this setting, the flow rate will be set to zero.
  • Page 17 Page 17 CUT-OFF A low flow cut-off, e.g. to ignore leakage, can be set as a percentage of the full range of 16 mA, 20 mA or 10 V. When the flow is less than the required rate, the current will be the minimum signal (4 mA, 0 mA, 0 V).
