The F130-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 F130-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 F130-P is not used for the purpose it was designed for or is used incorrectly. Please carefully note the information in this manual indicated by the pictograms: A "warning !"...

Pulse output to transmit a pulse that represents a totalized quantity as programmed. Fig. 1: Typical application Configuration of the F130-P The F130-P is designed for use in many types of applications. For that reason, a setup menu is available to program the F130-P according to your specific requirements.
Page 7
Page 7 The setup includes several important features, such as K-Factors, engineering units, signal selection, power management (to extend battery life-time), etc. All settings are stored in a non- volatile memory and therefore kept in the event of a power failure or an exhausted battery. Display information The unit has a LCD with (optional) backlight to show the process information, status and alarm messages.
Page 8 2 OPERATIONAL GENERAL INFORMATION This chapter describes the daily use of the F130-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.

The F130-P offers a no-flow monitoring feature: When the flowmeter does not generate a signal during a certain (preset) time period, the F130-P will shut-off the control output(s) and bring the batch controller in alarm status. The “PAUSE” and “ALARM” indicators come on and NO FLOW is shown.
Make sure that the unit is not being used for any application when altering the settings. 3.2.1 ENTERING SETUP-LEVEL Configuration of the F130-P is done at SETUP-level, which can be reached at all times while the F130-P remains fully operational. At SETUP-level the display will deactivate the indicator and...

When no keys are pressed for 2 minutes, SETUP-level will be left automatically. CONFIGURATION SETTINGS All settings of the F130-P can be set via the control panel. The following paragraphs give a detailed description of each setting. SETUP MENU – SETTINGS 3.3.1...
MENU 3 - ALARM The F130-P offers a no-flow monitoring feature: When the flowmeter does not generate a signal during a certain (preset) time period, the F130-P will shut-off the control output(s) and bring the batch controller in alarm status.
BATTERY MODE The F130-P has two modes: operational or shelf. After "shelf" has been selected, the F130-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.
3.3.9 MENU 8 - COMMUNICATION (OPTION) The F130-P can optionally be equipped with a communication interface using the Modbus protocol (Type CB/CH/CI/CT). Please consult Appendix C for a more detailed explanation of the protocol, data types and available registers.
• The F130-P 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. •...
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. F130-P-XI). For Intrinsically Safe applications: Installation and identification labels are shown in chapter 5.
Page 20 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. 11: 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 23 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 F130-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 F130-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 F130-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 F130-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.

Pulse-signal PNP / PNP-LP: The F130-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. 24: Terminal connections - Reed-switch signal input (typical) NAMUR-signal: The F130-P is suitable for flowmeters with an Namur signal. The standard F130-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 32 4.6.6 TERMINAL 15-16: EXTERNAL STOP With this function, the batch controller can be interrupted or cancelled with an external switch. The input must be switched once for interruption or switch twice for cancellation with a potential free contact to the GND-terminal number 15 for at least 0.3 seconds. Fig.
Page 33 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.
