Page 6: Introduction
Page 6 1 INTRODUCTION SYSTEM DESCRIPTION OF THE F130-P Functions and features The batch controller model F130-P is a microprocessor driven instrument designed for batching and filling of small up to large quantities as well as displaying the flow rate, the total and the accumulated total. - 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 16 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. -

Page 24: Electrical Installation
Page 24 ELECTRICAL INSTALLATION • Electro static discharge does inflict irreparable damage to electronics! Before installing or opening the F130-P, the installer has to discharge himself by touching a well-grounded object. • For reasons of ESD and safety, always ground the metal enclosure properly as indicated, especially if the unit has been supplied with the 115-230V AC power-supply type PM or relays type OR. -
Page 25: Field Wiring Connections
Inside of the Fluidwell unit, the various common ground terminals are connected to each other. It is advised to terminate the wire screens in the vicinity of the sensor and to insulate the wire screen with a shrink tube at the F130-P side. -
