1 INTRODUCTION
1.1 SYSTEM DESCRIPTION
Functions and features
The flow rate / totalizer model F116-P is a microprocessor driven instrument designed to show the
flow rate, the total and the accumulated total as well as for the calculation of differential flow
measurement and to sum two separate flows. This product has been designed with a focus on:
two multi-purpose pulse inputs;
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 and temperature input
This manual describes the unit with a pulse input from the flowmeter. Other versions are available to
process (0)4-20mA signals. Two flowmeters with a passive or active pulse, Namur or sine wave
(coil) signal output can be connected to the F116-P. To power the sensor, several options are
available.
Standard output
Pulse output to transmit a pulse that represents a totalized quantity as programmed.
Linear (0)4-20mA or 0-10V analog output to represent the actual calculated differential flow rate
as programmed. The (0)4-20mA or 0-10V signal limits can be tuned.

FL_F116P_v1702_01_EN
Configuration
The F116-P is designed for use in many types of applications. For that reason, a setup menu is
available to program the F116-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 nonvolatile 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.
Backlight
A backlight is available as an option. The brightness can be tuned as desired (requires power supply
type PD/PF/PM). For battery and loop powered applications the backlight will not function.
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.
2 OPERATIONAL
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 F116-P. This instruction is meant for users / operators.
2.1 CONTROL PANEL

2.2 OPERATOR INFORMATION AND FUNCTIONS
In general, the F116-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 F116-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 (differential or summed) total/rate
Total/rate is the main display of the F116-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 or all. When the SELECT/ key is pressed, the other information shows momentarily.
When "-------" is shown, then the flow rate value is too high to be shown. The arrows indicate
the increase/decrease of the flow rate trend. If the consumption is very low, it might be that a
stable low flow rate and total is shown; this is due to the settings of the F116-P.
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.
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.
Display Flow rate-A, Flow rate-B, (accumulated) total-A, (accumulated) total-B
The setting All shows the (differential or summed) flow rate. When the SELECT/ key is pressed
again, the total/accumulated total, the flow rate A, the accumulated total A, the flow rate B and
the accumulated total B are shown temporarily.
Low-battery alarm
Only use original batteries. Original batteries can be ordered at the manufacturer.
The use of unapproved batteries will void the warranty.
At the end of the battery’s life-time, the
voltage starts to drop. When the voltage
becomes too low, the battery indicator comes
on. When the battery indicator is on, install a
new and fresh battery as soon as possible.

3.1.2 EXPLANATION OF SETUP-MENU 1 - TOTAL-A
1
TOTAL-A
11
unit
This setting is used to select the engineering unit for the indication of the total (A
and B), the accumulated total (A and B), and the pulse output.
When you change the engineering unit, you must recalculate and
reprogram the K-factor for the (accumulated) total. When you
recalculate and reprogram the K-Factor, the history for
(accumulated) total is not correct anymore, because the
(accumulated) total is not recalculated. For future reference, best
practice is to make a note of the accumulated total before you
program the recalculated K-Factor.
12
decimals
This setting is used to set the amount of digits behind the decimal point for the
(accumulated) total indication (A and B).
13
K-factor
This setting is used to set the K-Factor for the total (A). With the K-Factor, the
flowmeter pulse signals are converted to a quantity. The K-Factor is based on the
number of pulses generated by the flowmeter per selected engineering unit, for
example per m3. A more accurate K-Factor (more decimals, as set in decimals
K-Factor) allows for a more accurate operation of the system.
Example 1: Calculating the K-Factor.
The flowmeter generates 2.4813 pulses per liter and the selected unit is m3. A
cubic meter consists of 1000 liter which gives 2.4813 pulses*1000 liter=2481.3
pulses per m3. So, the K-Factor is 2481.3. Enter for the Flowmeter K-Factor:
24813 and for the flowmeter K-Factor decimals: 1.
Example 2: Calculating the K-Factor.
The flowmeter generates 6.5231 pulses per gallon and the selected engineering
unit is gallons. So, the K-Factor is 6.5231. Enter for the Flowmeter K-Factor:
65231 and for the Flowmeter K-Factor decimals: 4.
When you recalculate and reprogram a new K-Factor, the history for
(accumulated) total is not correct anymore, because the
(accumulated) total is not recalculated. For future reference, best
practice is to make a note of the accumulated total before you
program the recalculated K-Factor.
14
decimals K-factor
This setting is used to set the amount of digits behind the decimal point for the
K-Factor (A).
Page 13
FL_F116P_v1702_01_EN
3.1.3 EXPLANATION OF SETUP-MENU 2 - FLOW RATE-A
The settings for total and flow rate are entirely separate. In this way, different engineering units can
be used for each e.g. cubic meters for total and liters for flow rate.
2
FLOW RATE-A
21
unit
This setting is used to select the engineering unit for the indication of the flow
rate (A and B).
Alteration of the engineering unit will have consequences for
operator and setup values, they will not be automatically
recalculated to the value of the new selected unit. The K-Factor has
to be adapted as well; the calculation is not done automatically.
22
time
This setting is used to set the time unit for the flow rate calculation (A and B).
Note that the flow rate is given in engineering unit/time unit, e.g. liters/minute
(l/min).
When you change this setting, also recalculate and change the settings
for the analog rate-min and analog rate-max.
23
decimals
This setting is used to set the amount of digits behind the decimal point for the
flow rate indication (A and B).
24
K-factor
This setting is used to set the K-Factor for the flow rate (A). With the K-Factor,
the flowmeter pulse signals are converted to a quantity. The K-Factor is based on
the number of pulses generated by the flowmeter per selected engineering unit,
for example per m3. A more accurate K-Factor (more decimals, as set in
decimals K-Factor) allows for a more accurate operation of the system.
25
decimals K-factor
This setting is used to set the amount of digits behind the decimal point for the
K-Factor (A).
26
filter
This setting is used to stabilize the output signal. With the help of this digital filter
a more stable but less actual representation of the flow rate can be obtained.
The filter principal is based on three input values: the filter level (01-99), the last
calculated flow rate and the last average value. The higher the filter level, the
longer the response time on a value change will be.
27
period
This setting is used to calculate the flow rate by counting the number of pulses
within a certain time, for example 1 second. The longer the time the more
accurate the flow rate will be.
This setting does influence the update time for the analog output directly. If the
output response is too slow, decrease the number of pulses.
The shorter the update time, the higher the power consumption of the unit will
be (important for battery powered applications).

K-factor
This setting is used to set the K-Factor for the total (B). With the K-Factor, the
flowmeter pulse signals are converted to a quantity. The K-Factor is based on the
number of pulses generated by the flowmeter per selected engineering unit, for
example per m3. A more accurate K-Factor (more decimals, as set in decimals
K-Factor) allows for a more accurate operation of the system.

DISPLAY
51
function
This setting can be set to display total or rate.
When 'total' is selected, simultaneously, (differential or summed) total and
(differential or summed) flow rate is shown. When SELECT is pressed, the
(differential or summed) accumulated total is shown temporarily.
When 'rate' is selected, only (differential or summed) flow rate is shown
together with its engineering unit. When SELECT is pressed, the (differential or
summed) total and the (differential or summed) accumulated total are shown
temporarily.
When ‘All’ is selected, only (differential or summed) flow rate is shown together
with its engineering unit. When SELECT is pressed again, the (differential or
summed) total/accumulated total, the flow rate A, the accumulated total A, the
flow rate B and the accumulated total B are shown temporarily.
52
light
The backlight brightness can be adjusted from 0% (off) to 100% (full brightness)
in steps of 20%.
When the F116-P is only loop powered, the backlight is disabled. An external
power supply is required to supply the backlight.
53
measurement
To solve undesired display readings during low or even negative consumption
situations, four different measurement methods have been implemented. Note
that the selection does influence the analog output value (ref. flow rate) as well.
bi-directional
Shown flow rate: positive and negative.
Shown total: increases or decreases.
not negative
Shown flow rate: only positive or zero.
Shown total: increases or decreases.
Page 15
FL_F116P_v1702_01_EN
threshold
Shown flow rate: as soon as the flow rate is lower than SETUP 54 or negative,
zero flow rate is shown.
Shown total: as soon as the flow rate is lower than SETUP 54 or negative,
totalization will stop.
stationary
Shown flow rate: as soon as the flow rate is lower than SETUP 54 or negative,
the stationary flow rate (SETUP 54) is shown.
Shown total: as soon as the flow rate is lower as SETUP 54 or negative,
stationary totalization (SETUP 55) will be activated. However, if the value of
setting 54 is zero, totalization increases or decreases.
54
stationary flow rate
Enter here the flow rate according SETUP 53: threshold or stationary. The time
and measuring units are according to flow rate SETUP 21 and 22.
threshold
Flow rate zero is shown as soon as the flow rate will be lower as this setting.
stationary
As soon as the flow rate is lower as this setting, this flow rate is shown.
If the flowmeters do not generate pulses, the flow rate shows zero.
55
stationary total
Enter here a flow rate per hour according to SETUP 53 – ‘stationary’.
The measuring unit is according to TOTAL (A and B) - SETUP 11.
This flow rate is converted to a total which will be used as long as the flow rate is
lower as SETUP 54.
If the flowmeters do not generate pulses, the totalization will stop.
This function is disabled if value zero has been entered.
3.1.7 EXPLANATION OF SETUP-MENU 6 - POWER MANAGEMENT
When used with the internal battery option (type PB/PC), the user can expect reliable measurement over a long
period of time. The F116-P has several smart power management functions to extend the battery life time
significantly. Two of these functions can be set.

POWER MANAGEMENT

lcd new
The calculation of the display-information influences the power consumption
significantly. When the application does not require a fast display refresh rate, it is
strongly advised to select a slow refresh rate. Please understand that NO
information will be lost; every pulse will be counted and the output signals will be
generated in the normal way.
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.
Example battery life-time with a coil pick-up:
1kHz pulse and FAST update: about 2 years;
1kHz pulse and 1 sec update: about 5 years.
62
battery mode
The F116-P has two modes: operational or shelf.
After "shelf" has been selected, the F116-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.
To wake up the F116-P again, press the SELECT/ key two times.

3.1.9 EXPLANATION OF SETUP-MENU 8 - ANALOG OUTPUT
A linear 4-20mA signal (option AB: 0-20mA or option AU: 0-10V) output signal is generated that
represents the flow rate. The settings for the flow rate influence the analog output directly. The
relationship between the flow rate and the analog output is set with the following settings.

ANALOG OUTPUT
81
output
If the analog output is not used, select disable to minimize the power
consumption (e.g. save battery life-time).
Option AP: When a power supply is available but the output is disabled, a 3.5mA
signal will be generated.
82
rate-min
Enter here the flow rate at which the output should generate the minimum signal
(0)4mA or 0V - in most applications at zero flow. The number of decimals shown
depend upon setup 23. The engineering units/time (e.g. L/min) are dependent
upon setup 21 and 22.
83
rate-max
Enter here the flow rate at which the output should generate the maximum signal
(20mA or 10V) - in most applications at maximum flow. The number of decimals
shown depend upon setup 23. The engineering units/time (e.g. L/min) are
dependent upon setup 21 and 22.
