1. INTRODUCTION

1.1. SYSTEM DESCRIPTION

Functions and features

The flow rate monitor / totalizer, model F118-P is a microprocessor driven instrument designed to

linearize the flowmeters flow curve and to show the flow rate, the total and the accumulated total.

This product has been designed with a focus on:

▪ultra-low power consumption to allow long-life battery powered applications (type PB/PC),

▪intrinsic safety for use in hazardous applications (type XI);

▪several mounting possibilities with aluminum or GRP enclosures for harsh industrial

surroundings;

▪ability to process all types of flowmeter signals;

▪transmitting possibilities with analog / pulse and communication outputs.

Flowmeter input

This manual describes the unit with a pulse input from the flowmeter. Other versions are available to

process (0)4-20mA signals.

One flowmeter with a passive or active pulse, Namur or sine wave (coil) signal output can be

connected to the F118-P. To power the sensor, several options are available.

Standard outputs

▪Max. three configurable alarm / pulse outputs: flow rate alarm, high- or low-flow rate alarm. Switched

as long as the flow rate is too high or too low.

▪Pulse output to transmit a pulse that represents a linearized totalized quantity as programmed.

▪Linear (0)4-20mA or 0-10V analog output to represent the actual, linearized, flow rate as

programmed. The (0)4-20mA or 0-10V signal limits can be tuned.

Fig. 1: typical application

Configuration of the unit

The F118-P is designed for use in many types of applications. For that reason, a setup menu is

available to program the F118-P according to your specific requirements.

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.

The display refresh rate is programmed in the setup menu. At a key press, the display refresh rate will

switch to FAST for 30 seconds. When 'OFF' is selected, the display goes off after 30 seconds after

the last key press. The display temporarily comes on after a key press.

A backup of the total and accumulated total in EEPROM memory is made every minute.

Options

The following options are available: isolated or active (0)4-20mA / 0-10V analog output, full Modbus

communication RS232/485/TTL (also battery powered), intrinsic safety, mechanical relay or active

output, power- and sensor-supply options, panel -mount, wall-mount and weather-proof enclosures,

flame proof enclosure and LED backlight.

•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.

•Take careful notice of the "Safety rules, instructions and precautionary measures" in the

front of this manual.

This chapter describes the daily use of the F118-P. This instruction is meant for users / operators.

2.1. CONTROL PANEL

The control panel has three keys. The available keys are:

Fig. 2: Control Panel

Functions of the keys

This key is used to program and save new values or settings.

The PROG/ENTER key is also used to gain access to the setup menu (read

chapter 3).

This key is used to select the accumulated total.

The SELECT/key is also used to increase a value after the PROG/ENTER key has

been pressed (read chapter 3).

This key is used to reset the total.

The CLEAR/key is also used to select a digit or an option after the PROG/ENTER

key has been pressed read chapter 3).

2.3. OPERATOR INFORMATION AND FUNCTIONS

In general, the F118-P operates in the operator

mode. The shown information depends on the

settings which are made in the setup menu.

The signal from the connected sensor is processed

by the F118-P in the background, independent from

the selected display refresh rate.

Fig. 3: Process information (typical)

For the Operator, the following functions are available:

▪Display flow rate / total or flow rate

This is the main display information of the F118-P. After the selection of any other information, it

will always return to this main display automatically. Total is shown on the upper line of the

display and flow rate on the bottom line. When selected in the setup menu, the display shows the

flow rate only. When you press the select key, the total shows momentarily.

When "-------" is shown, then the flow rate value is too high to be displayed. The arrows 

indicate the increase/decrease of the flow rate trend.

▪Clear total

The value for total can be reset. To do so, press the CLEAR/key twice. When the key is

pressed once, the text "PUSH CLEAR" is shown. To avoid a reset at this stage, press another

key other than the CLEAR/key or wait for 20 seconds. A reset of the total does not influence

the accumulated total.

RUN

FW_F118P_v1901_02_EN.docx

Page 7

▪Display accumulated total

When the SELECT/key is pressed, total and accumulated total are shown. The accumulated

total cannot be reset. The value will count up to 99,999,999,999. The unit and number of

decimals are shown according to the settings for the total.

▪How to program the alarm thresholds

The F118-P can give an alarm message on the display. When set to on, at the same time, the

digital outputs can give a signal for processing by an external device. Note that it is also possible

to set or change the alarm thresholds from the setup menu.

This procedure is applicable to all the alarm thresholds. Only the procedure for ALARM LO is

given. From any operator page, press the SELECT/▲ key, to find the required submenu.
