Fig. 1: The F010 This manual describes the daily use, configuration and installation of the F010-U with analog 0-10 V input from a flowmeter and its available options.
F010-U User Manual Options ● Intrinsic safety (Type XI) ● Power and sensor supply (Types PB, PC, PD, PF, PM, PX, in various combinations) ● Panel mount enclosure (Types HB, HC) ● Flame-proof enclosure (Type XF) ● Display backlight (Type ZB). INSTALLATION EXAMPLE Following parts can be recognized in below installation example.
User Manual F010-U OPERATION This unit may only be operated by authorized and trained personnel who have read and understood this manual, particularly Section 2: Safety [»5] INTRODUCTION This chapter describes the daily use and operation of the F010-U. For this, the F-Series is equipped with a control panel that provides the operator with various functions, information and operating modes.
F010-U User Manual Normally, the display is updated depending on the refresh rate selected in the configuration settings. By pressing any key, the display switches to refreshing the information 8 times per second. After 30 seconds of key inactivity, the display returns to the configured refresh rate.

User Manual F010-U CONFIGURATION INTRODUCTION This chapter describes how technicians can use configuration settings to configure the F-Series for optimal functionality. Configuration of the F010-U can be done in SETUP mode, using the front keys. CONFIGURING USING SETUP MODE For an overview of Operating modes, see Section 4.1.1: Operating modes [»8] Changing settings may influence current operation In SETUP mode the unit remains fully operational.
F010-U User Manual 5.2.3 CHANGING CONFIGURATION SETTINGS A menu item either contains a value (a number with optionally a decimal point and sign, e.g. -123.45) or a selection list (e.g. L – m - USGAL). After a menu item is selected in the SETUP menu, a new value can be programmed by performing the following steps.

User Manual F010-U 5.4.4 MENU 4: FLOWMETER FLOWMETER FORMULA The F010-U can process the analog 0 - 10 V signal in two ways: linear or as a root. Interpolation: the signal is processed in a linear way ● R = S x I Square root: the signal is processed applying a square root, f.i.
F010-U User Manual FLOWMETER CALIBRATE LOW The unit is calibrated in factory using a very accurate voltage source. In case the flowmeter signal does not equal 0 V at flow rate zero, this function is needed to set the minimum input voltage at flow rate zero. Be very sure that the offered tuning signal is stable and correct before using it for calibration, since this setting has major influence on the accuracy of the system.
