SETUP - 11 determines the measurement unit for total, accumulated total
and pulse output. The following units can be selected:
L - m3 - kg - lb. - GAL - USGAL - bbl - _ (no unit).
Alteration of the measurement unit will have consequences for operator
and SETUP-level values.
Please note that the Span has to be adapted as well; the calculation is not
done automatically.
The decimal point determines for total, accumulated total and pulse output
the number of digits following the decimal point.
The following can be selected:
0000000 - 111111.1 - 22222.22 - 3333.333
With the span, the flowmeter signal is converted to a quantity.
The span for Total is determined on the basis of the measurement unit
(setting 11) and the flowrate per second at 20mA (or max signal).
Enter the span in whole numbers (decimals are set with SETUP 14).
The more accurate the span, the more accurate the functioning of the
system will be:
Example 1 Calculating the Span.
Let us assume that the flowmeter generates 20mA at a rate of
652.31 USGAL per hour, the selected unit is barrels.
There are 42 gallons in one barrel; so the rate is 652.31/42 is
15.53119 barrels/hour.
This is 0.0043142 barrels/second, which is the span.
Enter for
Example 2 Calculating the Span.
Let us assume that the flowmeter generates 20mA at a
flowrate of 2,481.3 Liters/minute and the selected unit is "cubic
meters / m3".
The rate per second is 2,481.3÷60 is 41.35 5 L/sec.
This is 0.041355 m3/sec., which is the span.
Enter for
decimals span "6".
This setting determines the number of decimals for the Span
(SETUP 13). The following can be selected:
0 - 1 - 2 - 3 - 4 - 5 - 6
Please note that this function influences the accuracy of the Span
indirectly.
This setting has NO influence on the displayed number of digits for total

The flowrate can be calculated per second (SEC), minute (MIN), hour
(HR) or day (DAY).
This setting determines for flowrate the number of digits following the
decimal point. The following can be selected:
00000 - 1111.1 - 2222.22 - 3333.333
With the span, the flowmeter signal is converted to a quantity.
The span for flowrate is determined on the basis of the selected measurement unit and time unit at 20mA (or maximum signal).
Enter the span in whole numbers (decimals are set with SETUP 25).
The more accurate the span, the more accurate the functioning of the
system will be:
Example 1 Calculating the span for flowrate
Let us assume that the flowmeter generates 20mA at a
flowrate of 2,481.3 Liters/minute, the selected unit is
"Liters" and time unit "minute".
The span is 2481.3

Example 2 Calculating the span for flowrate
Let us assume that the flowmeter generates 20mA at a
rate of 652.31 USGAL per hour, the selected unit is USG
and the time unit is minute.
The span is 652.31 / 60 minutes is 10.87183 (GPM).
Enter for SETUP - 24: "108718" and for SETUP - 25 "4".
This setting determines the number of decimals for the Span
(SETUP 24). The following can be selected:
0 - 1 - 2 - 3 - 4 - 5 - 6
Please note that this SETUP - influences the accuracy of the Span
indirectly.
This setting has NO influence on the displayed number of digits for

FUNCTION
31
The large 17mm digits can be set to display total or flowrate.
When "total" is selected, both total and flowrate are displayed
simultaneously.
When "flowrate" is selected, only flowrate will be displayed with it’s
measuring unit while total will be displayed after pressing SELECT.
4 - POWER MANAGEMENT
When used with the internal battery option, the user can expect reliable measurement over a long
period of time. The F110-A has several smart power management functions to extend the (optional)
battery life time significantly. Two of these functions can be set:
LCD NEW
41
BATTERY-MODE
42
The calculation of the display-information influences the power
consumption significantly. When the application does not require a fast
display update, it is strongly advised to select a slow refresh rate.
Please understand that NO information will be lost; the signal will be
processed and the output signals will be generated in the normal way.
The following can be selected:
Fast - 1 sec - 3 sec - 15 sec - 30 sec - off.
Example 3: Battery life-time
battery life-time with a FAST update: about 3 years.
battery life-time with a 1 sec update: about 7 years.
Note: after a button has been pressed by the operator - the display
refresh rate will always switch to FAST for 30 seconds. When "OFF" is
selected, the display will be switched off after 30 seconds and will be
switched on as soon as a button has been pressed.
The unit has two modes: operational or shelf.
After "shelf" has been selected, the unit can be stored for several years; it
will not process the 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 unit again, press the SELECT-key twice.

SIGNAL

5 - FLOWMETER
The F110-A can process the 4-20mA signal in two ways:
Interpolation: the signal is processed linear
Square root: for differential pressure
R = S x I
FILTER
52
The analog output signal of a flowmeter does mirror the actual flow. This
signal is measured several times a second by the F110-A. The value
measured is a "snap-shot" of the real flow. With the help of this digital
filter a more stable and accurate reading can be obtained while the filter
level can be set to a desired value.
The filter principal is based on three input values: the filter level (01-99),
the last measured analog value and the last average value. The higher
the filter level, the longer the response time on a value change will be.
Below, several filter levels with their response times are indicated:
R = S √ I
where:
R = Rate: the calculated flowrate
S = Span: the maximum flowrate at 20mA. The span is programmed
with setting 24 for flowrate and with setting 13 for total.
I = Input: the scaled analog value; in these formulas value 0 (zero)
for (0)4mA and value 1 (one) for 20mA.

TUNE MIN / 4MA

TUNE MAX / 20MA
55
To ignore e.g. leakage of the flow or vibration, a low-flow cut-off can be
set as percentage over the full range of 16mA (or 20mA / 10V). When the
analog value is less than required with this setting, the signal will be
ignored. The cut-off value can be programmed is the range 0.0 - 99.9%.
Examples:
REQUIRED
CUT-OFF
With this setting it is possible to calibrate the input value for (0)4mA as the
signal from the flowmeter might not be exact 4.0 mA (or 0.0 mA) at
flowrate zero.
This function will measure the real output value at flow zero.
Warning: be very sure that the offered signal is correct
before the calibration is executed as this function has major
influences on the accuracy of the system!
After pressing PROG, three settings can be selected:
CALIBRATE: with this setting, the input will be calibrated with the
actual "(0)4mA" value. After pressing enter, CAL SET will be
displayed as soon as the calibration is completed. From that moment,
the analog value must be more than the calibrated value before the
signal will be processed.
DEFAULT: with this setting, the manufactures value is re-installed.
CAL SET: to select the last calibrated value.
With this setting it is possible to calibrate the input value for 20mA as the
signal from the flowmeter might not be exact 20.0 mA at maximum
flowrate.
This function will measure the real output value at maximum flowrate.
Warning: be very sure that the offered signal is correct
before the calibration is executed as this function has major
influences on the accuracy of the system!
After pressing PROG, three settings can be selected:
CALIBRATE: with this setting, the input will be calibrated with the
actual "20mA" value. After pressing enter, CAL SET will be displayed
as soon as the calibration is completed. From that moment, the
analog value must be less than the calibrated value for a reliable
measurement.
DEFAULT: with this setting, the manufactures value is re-installed.
CAL SET: to select the last calibrated value.

6 - ANALOG OUTPUT
A linear analog (0)4-20mA or 0-10V signal is generated according to the flowrate with a 10 bits
resolution. The settings for flowrate (SETUP - 2) influence the analog output directly.
The relationship between rate and analog output is set with the following functions:
The analog output can be disabled.
In case of a passive analog output type AP, 3.5mA will be generated if a
power supply is available but the output is disabled.
Enter here the flowrate at which the output should generate the minimum
signal (0/4mA or 0V) - in most applications at flowrate "zero".
The number of decimals displayed depend upon SETUP 23.
The time and measuring units (L/min for example) are dependant upon
SETUP 21 and 22 but are not displayed.
Enter here the flowrate at which the output should generate the maximum
signal (20mA or 10V) - in most applications at maximum flow.
The number of decimals displayed depend upon SETUP 23.
The time and measuring units (L/min for example) are dependant upon
SETUP 21 and 22 but cannot be displayed.
To ignore leakage of the flow for example, a low flow cut-off can be set as
a percentage of the full range of 16mA, (or 20mA or 10V).
When the flow is less than the required rate, the current will be the
minimum signal (0/4mA or 10V).
Examples:
CUT-OFF
REQUIRED RATEOUTPUT
(SETUP 64)
The initial minimum analog output value is 0/4mA or 0V. However, this
value might differ slightly due to external influences such as temperature
for example. The 0/4mA or 0V value can be tuned precisely with this
setting.
Before tuning the signal, be sure that the analog signal is not being
used for any application!
After pressing PROG, the current will be about 4mA (or 0mA / 0V). The
current can be increased / decreased with the arrow-keys and is directly
active. Press ENTER to store the new value.
Remark: the analog output value can be programmed “up-side-down” if
desired, so 20mA at minimum flowrate for example!
The initial maximum analog output value is 20mA (or 10V). However, this
value might differ slightly due to external influences such as temperature
for example. The 20mA value (or 10V) can be tuned precisely with this
setting.
Before tuning the signal, be sure that the analog signal is not being
used for any application!
After pressing PROG, the current will be about 20mA. The current can be
increased / decreased with the arrow-keys and is directly active. Press
ENTER to store the new value.
Remark: the analog output value can be programmed “up-side-down” if
desired, so 4mA at maximum flowrate for example!

The output value is updated every 0.1 second. With the help of this digital
filter a more stable but less precise reading can be obtained.
The filter principal is based on three input values: the filter level (01-99),
the last analog output value and the last average value. The higher the
filter level, the longer the response time on a value change will be.

increases for example - an internal buffer will be used to "store the missed
pulses": As soon as the flowrate reduces again, the buffer will be
"emptied".
It might be that pulses will be missed due to a buffer-overflow, so it is
advised to program this setting within it's range.
If a mechanic relay is used for the pulse output, it is recommended to
reduce the max. output frequency to 0.5Hz, else the life time will be
reduced significantly.

4.4. INSTALLING THE HARDWARE
4.4.1. INTRODUCTION
Electro static discharge does inflict irreparable damage to electronics! Before installing or
opening the unit, the installer has to discharge himself by touching a well-grounded object.
This unit must be installed in accordance with the EMC guidelines (Electro Magnetic
Compatibility).
Aluminum enclosures
When installed in an aluminum enclosure and a potentially explosive atmosphere requiring
apparatus of equipment protection level Ga and Da, the unit must be installed such that, even
in the event of rare incidents, an ignition source due to impact or friction sparks between the
enclosure and iron/steel is excluded.
Do ground the aluminum enclosure properly as indicated, if the F110-A has been supplied with
the 115-230V AC power-supply type PM. The green / yellow wire between the back-casing
and removable terminal-block may never be removed.
Fig. 7: Grounding aluminum enclosure with type PM 115-230V AC.
FOR INSTALLATION, PAY EMPHATIC ATTENTION TO:
Separate cable glands with effective IP67 (NEMA4X) seals for all wires.
Unused cable entries: ensure that you fit IP67 (NEMA4X) plugs to maintain rating.
A reliable ground connection for both the sensor, and if applicable, for the metal casing.
An effective screened cable for the input signal, and grounding of its screen to terminal 9 (GND)
or at the sensor itself, whichever is appropriate to the application.

6. MAINTENANCE
6.1. GENERAL DIRECTIONS
Mounting, electrical installation, start-up and maintenance of the instrument may only be
carried out by trained personnel authorized by the operator of the facility. Personnel must
read and understand this Operating Manual before carrying out its instructions.
The F110-U may only be operated by personnel who are authorized and trained by the
operator of the facility. All instructions in this manual are to be observed.
Ensure that the measuring system is correctly wired up according to the wiring diagrams.
Protection against accidental contact is no longer assured when the housing cover is
removed or the panel cabinet has been opened (danger from electrical shock). The housing
may only be opened by trained personnel.
Take careful notice of the " Safety rules, instructions and precautionary measures " in the
front of this manual.
The F110-A does not require special maintenance unless it is used in low-temperature applications
or surroundings with high humidity (above 90% annual mean). It is the users responsibility to take all
precautions to dehumidify the internal atmosphere of the F110-A in such a way that no condensation
will occur, for example by placing dry silica-gel sachet in the casing just before closing it.
Furthermore, it is required to replace or dry the silica gel periodically as advised by the silica gel
supplier.
Check periodically:
The condition of the casing, cable glands and front panel.
The input/output wiring for reliability and aging symptoms.
The process accuracy. As a result of wear and tear, re-calibration of the flowmeter might be
necessary. Do not forget to re-enter any subsequent Span alterations.
The indication for low-battery.
Clean the casing with soapy-water. Do not use any aggressive solvents as these might damage
the polyester coating.
6.2. REPAIR
This product cannot be repaired by the user and must be replaced with an equivalent certified
product. Repairs should only be carried out by the manufacturer or his authorized agent.
6.3 BATTERY LIFE-TIME
It is influenced by several issues :
Analog output signal; be sure that an external power supply is connected or that the function is
disabled if not in use; or else it will have a major influence on the battery life-time (SETUP 61).
Display update: fast display update uses significantly more power; SETUP 41.
Pulse output and communications .
Low temperatures; the available power will be less due to battery chemistry.
Note: It is strongly advised to disable unused functions.

APPENDIX B: PROBLEM SOLVING
In this appendix, several problems are included that can occur when the F110-A is going to be
installed or while it is in operation.
Analog output does not function properly:
Check:
SETUP 61 - is the function enabled?
SETUP 62 / 63: are the flow-levels programmed correctly?
connection of the external power-supply according to the specification.
Analog output does not function properly:
Check:
SETUP 61 - is the function enabled?
SETUP 62 / 63: are the flow-levels programmed correctly?
connection of the external power-supply according to the specification.
Pulse output does not function:
Check:
SETUP 71 - pulse per “x” quantity; is the value programmed reasonable and will the maximum
output be under 20Hz?
SETUP 72 - impulse width; is the external device able to recognize the selected pulse width and
frequency?
Flowrate displays "0 / zero" while there is flow (total is counting):
Check:
SETUP 22 / 25: are the Span and time unit correct?
The pass code is unknown:
If the pass code is not 1234, there is only one possibility left: call your supplier.
ALARM
When the alarm flag starts to blink an internal alarm condition has occurred. Press the "select
button" several times to display the 5-digit error code. The codes are:
0001: irrecoverable display-data error: data on the display might be corrupted.
0002: irrecoverable data-storage error: the programming cycle might have gone wrong: check
programmed values.
0003: error 1 and error 2 occurred simultaneously
If the alarm occurs more often or stays active for a longer time, please contact your supplier.

OTHER F110-A VARIABLES FOR COMMUNICATION
TOTAL - variable number 566 (236h) – 6 bytes
Read total: The value of total read using RS communications might differ from the value that
appears on the display. This is due to the fact that the display can only display up to
seven digits ( for example when two decimals are selected for total and total has a
value of 123456,78 the display will show 23456,78 while communication will read a
“total” of 12345678 and a “total decimals” of 2).
Write total: total can only be cleared. This means writing a value different from 0 will result in
the reply of an error message. Only writing 6 bytes of zero’s to total will be
accepted.
ACCUMULATED TOTAL - variable number 560 (230h) – 6 bytes
Read acc. total: A difference between the read value and the display value, as explained for
“Read total”, might appear here too.
Write acc. total: Not possible.
When reading or writing total or accumulated total it should be noted that the used values are given
including the decimals. This means that a read/write to one of these variables should be
accompanied with a read/write to the variable that holds the number of decimals for this variable:
Example: read var. 566 for total:
Read var. 33 for total decimals and calculate the real value of total by multiplying total with
-(total decimals)
10
FLOWRATE - variable number 572 (23Ch) – 4 bytes
Read flowrate: The value difference as mentioned with total/acc. total might appear here
too.
Write flowrate: Not possible.
