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. F111-P-XI). For Intrinsically Safe applications: Installation and identification labels are shown in chapter 5.
Page 19 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 22 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 F111-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 F111-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 F111-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 F111-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 F111-P when supplied with Type XX: Fig. 13: Overview of terminal connectors - Standard configuration and options 4.6.1...
Page 27 4.6.2 TERMINAL 03-04: SCALED PULSE OUTPUT (FLOW B) Setup 9 determines the pulse output function for input B. 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.
(read chapter 3). Sine-wave signal (Coil) The F111-P is suitable for use with flowmeters which have a coil output signal. Two sensitivity levels can be selected: • COIL-LO: sensitivity from about 80mV •...
Page 29
Pulse-signal PNP / PNP-LP The F111-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.
Fig. 21: Terminal connections - Reed-switch signal input (typical) NAMUR-signal The F111-P is suitable for flowmeters with an Namur signal. The standard F111-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 31 4.6.6 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. F111-P-XI). If Type XI is not indicated your device is not suitable for Intrinsically Safe applications!
