1. INTRODUCTION

1.1. SYSTEM DESCRIPTION OF THE F118-A

Functions and features

The flowrate / totalizer model F118-A is a microprocessor driven instrument designed to linearize the flowmeters flowcurve and to display flowrate, total and accumulated total. Moreover, two alarm values can be set to monitor the flowrate. This product has been designed with a focus on:

 ultra-low power consumption to allow long-life battery powered applications (type PB),  intrinsic safety for use in hazardous applications (type XI),  several mounting possibilities with ABS or aluminum enclosures for harsh industrial

surroundings,

 ability to process all types of flowmeter signals,  transmitting possibilities with analog / pulse and communication (option) outputs.

Flowmeter input

This manual describes the unit with a analog type input from the flowmeter "-A version". Other versions are available to process pulses or 0-10V flowmeter signals. One flowmeter with a (0)4-20mA signal output can be connected to the F118-A. To power the sensor, several options are available.

Standard outputs

 Two / three configurable outputs: high or low flowrate alarm, all alarms or pulse output.  Configurable pulse output: a scaled pulse mirroring a certain linearised total quantity. Maximum

frequency 60Hz.; the pulse length can be set from 7,8msec up to 2 seconds.

 Configurable passive linear 4-20mA analog output with 10-bits resolution mirroring the actual

linearised flowrate. Flowrate levels as well as the minimum and maximum signal output can be tuned.

2.3. OPERATOR INFORMATION AND FUNCTIONS

In general, the F118-A will always function at Operator level. The information displayed is dependant upon the SETUP-settings. All pulses generated by the connected flowmeter are measured by the F118-A in the background, whichever screen refresh rate setting is chosen. After pressing a key, the display will be updated very quickly during a 30 second period, after which it will slow-down again.

Fig. 3: Example of display information during process.

For the Operator, the following functions are available:

 Display flowrate / total

This is the main display information of the F118-A. After selecting any other information, it will always return to this main display automatically. Total is displayed on the upper-line of the display and flowrate on the bottom line. When "-------" is shown, then the flowrate value is too high to be displayed. The arrows  indicate the increase/decrease of the flowrate trend.

 Clear total

The value for total can be re-initialized. To do so, press CLEAR twice. After pressing CLEAR once, the flashing text "PUSH CLEAR" is displayed. To avoid re-initialization at this stage, press another key than CLEAR or wait for 20 seconds. Re-initialization of total DOES NOT influence the accumulated total.

 Display accumulated total

When the SELECT-key is pressed, total and accumulated total are displayed. The accumulated total cannot be re-initialized. The value will count up to 99,999,999,999. The unit and number of decimals are displayed according to the configuration settings for total.

HF118AEN_v0501_06

Page 9

 Programming the flowrate alarm values

Note: This function might not be immediately accessible due to a configuration setting.

When the SELECT-key is pressed a few times, following flowrate alarm values are displayed:

 low flowrate alarm: enter here 40 L/min for example,  high flowrate alarm: enter here 200 L/min for example,

To change the alarm value, the following procedure must be executed:

1) press PROG: the word "PROGRAM" will flash or a pass code will be requested,

2) use  to select the digits and  to increase that value,

3) confirm the new alarm value by pressing ENTER.

Fig. 4: Example of display information during programming minimum flowrate.

When data is altered but ENTER has not been pressed yet, then the alteration can still be

cancelled by waiting for 20 seconds or by pressing ENTER during three seconds: the former value will be reinstated.

 Flowrate alarm When the actual flowrate is outside the allowed range, an alarm message will be displayed

indicating the type of alarm: "LO RATE" or "HI RATE".

The alarm is terminated automatically as soon as the flowrate is within its range again.

 Low-battery alarm

When the battery voltage drops, it must be replaced. At first "low-battery" will flash, but as soon as it is displayed continuously, the battery MUST be replaced shortly after! Only official batteries may be used, or else the guarantee will be terminated. The remaining lifetime after the first moment of indication is generally several days up to some weeks.

Fig. 5: Example of low-battery alarm.

 Alarm 01-03 When "alarm" is displayed, please consult Appendix B: problem solving.

3.2.3. EXPLANATION SETUP-FUNCTIONS

MEASUREMENT UNIT 11

DECIMALS 12

SPAN 13

DECIMALS SPAN 14

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:

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. 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 for Total.

Example 2: Calculating the span for Total

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 (SETUP 12)!

1 - TOTAL

0000000 - 111111.1 - 22222.22 - 3333.333

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 41.355 L/sec. This is

0.041355 m3/sec., which is the span. Enter for SETUP - 13: "041355" and for SETUP - 14 - decimals span "6".

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/s econd, which is the span. Enter for SETUP - 13: "004314" and for SETUP - 14 "6".

HF118AEN_v0501_06

Page 15

2 - FLOWRATE

The settings for total and flowrate are entirely separate. In this way, different units of measurement can be used for each e.g. cubic meters for total and liters for flowrate. The display update time for flowrate is one second or more.

Note: these settings also influence the analog output.

MEASUREMENT UNIT 21

TIME UNIT 22 DECIMALS 23

SPAN 24

DECIMALS SPAN 25

SETUP - 21 determines the measurement unit for flowrate. The following units can be selected:

mL - L - m3 - mg - g - kg - ton - GAL - bbl - lb - cf - REV - 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 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. 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

Enter for SETUP - 24: "248130" and for SETUP - 25 -

decimals span "2".

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 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 "flowrate" (SETUP 23)!

HF118AEN_v0501_06

Page 16

3 - ALARM

With these settings, it is determined how the flowrate will be monitored and the functionality of the transistor / relay outputs (terminals 03-04, 05-06 and 15-16) be determined.

Note: for transistor / relay output functions: read SETUP 8 “relays”.

SET ALARM 31

FLOW ZERO 32

ALARM VALUE LOW 33 ALARM VALUE HIGH 34 DELAY TIME ALARM LOW 35 DELAY TIME ALARM HIGH 36

This function determines if the flowrate alarm values can be set at both Operator level and SETUP-level or SETUP-level only. If SETUP has been selected, the alarm values are still visible for the Operator but can not be changed. When the flowrate is zero, then it is possible to ignore or disable the flowrate monitoring. The following settings can be selected: DEFAULT: in case of a low-flowrate alarm and zero flow, it will switch

the alarm output and indicate the alarm on the display.

NO RELAY: in case of a low-flowrate alarm and zero flow, it won't

switch the alarm output but will indicate the alarm on the display only.

IGNORE: in case of a low-flowrate alarm and zero flow, it won't

switch the alarm output and nothing will be indicated on

the display. The low alarm is set with this setting. An alarm will be generated as long as the flowrate lower as this. With value 0.0 this function is disabled. The high alarm is set with this setting. An alarm will be generated as long as the flowrate higher as this. With value 0.0 this function is disabled. An alarm generated by SETUP 33 “low” can be ignored during X-time period. If the actual flowrate is still incorrect after this delay time, then an alarm will be generated. An alarm generated by SETUP 34 “high” can be ignored during X-time period. If the actual flowrate is still incorrect after this delay time, then an alarm will be generated.

4 - POWER MANAGEMENT

When used with the internal battery option, the user may hold the concern of reliable measurement over a long period of time. The F118-A has several smart power management functions to extend the 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; every pulse will be counted 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 coil pick-up, 1KHz. pulses and FAST

update: about 2 years.

battery life-time with a coil pick-up, 1KHz. pu lses and 1 sec

update: about 5 years.

Note: after a button has been pressed by the operator - the display refresh-rate will always be FAST during 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 count pulses, 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.

HF118AEN_v0501_06

Page 17

SIGNAL 51

5 - FLOWMETER

The F118-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

Page 17

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.

FILTER 52

FILTER 53

The analog output signal of a flowmeter does mirror the actual flow. This signal is measured several times a second by the F118-A. The value measured is a "snap-shot" of the real flow as it will be fluctuating. With the help of this digital filter a 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 there response times are indicated: This function is used to stabilize the analog output signal. The output value is update every 0.1 second. With the help of this digital filter a more stable but less actual 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. Below, several filter levels with there response times are indicated:

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 then required with this setting, the signal will be ignored. The cut-off value can be programmed is the range 0.0 - 99.9%.

Examples:

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.

6 - LINEARISATION

The linearisation function is available to approach the real flowcurve better as with the general Span entered with setup 14 and 24. This to obtain a more accurate flowrate, total and accumulated total as well as the analog and pulse output at any flowmeter signal. A maximum of 15 linearisation-positions can be entered while the interpolation will calculate any other position in-between.

For each linearisation position, the percentage of signal and the Meter Factor (MF) must be entered.

The Meter Factor for each linearisation step is calculated with following formula:

calculated flow

The lowest percentage and MF you enter will be valid from 0V. The highest percentage and MF will be valid till 10V. It is advised to enter the percentages in increasing order, however it is not necessary. Please have a look at following example to understand the method of linearisation:

The percentage is displayed at the bottom line of the display. With value 0% the M-Factor is disabled.

The M-Factor is displayed at the top-line of the display. The minimum value to be entered is 0.000001 and the maximum value is 9.999999.

Please note that this value has always six decimals while the "dot" is not displayed.

Most M-factors will be around 1.000000 like 0.945354 or 1.132573. With this setup function, you can easily enable / disable the linearisation function.

7 - ANALOG OUTPUT

A linear 4-20mA signal (type AB: 0-20mA or type AU: 0-10V) output signal is generated according to the flowrate with a 10 bits resolution. The settings for flowrate (SETUP - 2) influences the analog output directly.

Note: When the analog-output is not used, please make sure that setting 71 is disabled, else the battery life-time will be reduced significantly!

When a power supply is available but the output is disabled, a 3.5mA signal will be generated. The relationship between rate and analog output is set with following functions:

DISABLE / ENABLE 71

MINIMUM FLOWRATE 72

MAXIMUM FLOWRATE 73

TUNE MIN / 4MA 74

TUNE MAX / 20MA 75

The D/A converter has a relatively high power consumption. If the analog output will not be used, select "disable" to switch-off the converter. For more information read par. 4.4.3. Enter here the flowrate according which the output should generate a 4mA signal (or 0mA / 0V) - in most applications at flowrate "zero". The number of decimals displayed is according to SETUP 23. The time and measuring units (L/min for example) are according SETUP 21 and 22 but can not be displayed. Enter here the flowrate according which the output should generate a 20mA (or 10V) - in most applications at maximum flow. The number of decimals displayed is according to SETUP 23. The time and measuring units (L/min for example) are according SETUP 21 and 22 but can not be displayed. The initial minimum analog output value is 4mA (or 0mA / 0V). However, this value might slightly differ due to external influences such as temperature for example The 4mA value (or 0mA / 0V) can be tuned exactly with this setting.

 Before tuning the signal, be sure that the analog signal is not

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. The initial maximum analog output value is 20mA (or 10V). However, this value might slightly differ due to external influences such as temperature for example The 20mA value (or 10V) can be tuned exactly with this setting.

8 - RELAY OUTPUT

With the exception of the Intrinsically Safe version, three transistor outputs are available or one transistor output plus two electro-mechanical relay outputs.

Note: the alarm settings - SETUP 3 - need to correspond with the selections below.

OUTPUT R1 TRANSISTOR / RELAY 81

OUTPUT R2 TRANSISTOR / RELAY 82 OUTPUT R3 TRANSISTOR 83

PERIOD TIME PULSE OUTPUT 84

PULSE PER 85

Assign the output function to R1 - terminal 05-06: high alarm, low alarm, flowrate alarm or pulse output (max 5Hz)

Note: Intrinsically safe applications: this setting has no influence on any output; please read 83: R3.

Assign the output function to R2 - terminal 03-04: high alarm, low alarm, flowrate alarm or pulse output (max 60Hz)

Assign the output function to R3 - terminal 15-16 - which is always a transistor output: high alarm, low alarm, flowrate alarm or pulse output (max 60Hz)

Note: Intrinsically safe applications: This output is assigned to output R1 and not R3.

The period time determines the time that the transistor or relay will be switched; in other words the pulse length. The minimum time between the pulses is as long as the period time. One period is approx. 7.8 msec. If the value selected is “zero”, the pulse output is disabled. The maximum value is 255 periods.

Note: If the frequency should go out of range - when the flowrate 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.

NUMBER OF PERIODS PERIOD TIME MAX. FREQUENCY

0 disabled disabled 1 0,0078 seconds 64 Hz. 2 0,0156 seconds 32 Hz. 3 0,0234 seconds 21 Hz.

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 F118-A 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 F118-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 customers responsibility to take all precautions to dehumidify the internal atmosphere of the F118-A in such a way that no condensation will occur, for example by placing dry silica-gel in the casing just before closing the enclosure. Furthermore, is required to replace or dry the silica gel from time to time as advised by the silica gel supplier.

Battery life-time:

It is influenced by several issues as:

 Type of sensor: read chapter 3.2.3. NPN and PNP inputs consume more energy then coil inputs.  Input frequency: the higher the frequency the shorter the battery life-time.  Flowrate calculation: the lower number of pulses (SETUP 26) the shorter the battery life-time.  Analog output signal; be sure that an external power supply is connected or that the function is

disabled if not in use; else it has major influence on the battery life-time (SETUP 71).

 Display update: fast display update has major influence; SETUP 51.  Pulse output and communication.  Low temperatures; the available power will be less due to battery chemistry.

Note: It is strongly advised to disable unused functions.

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 re-enter any subsequent K-factor alterations.

 The indication for low-battery.  Clean the casing with soapy-water; don't use any aggressive solvents as these might damage

the polyester coating.

APPENDIX B: PROBLEM SOLVING

In this appendix, several problems are included that can occur when the F118-A is going to be installed or while it is in operation.

Flowmeter does not generate pulses:

Check:

 Signal selection SETUP - 51,  Pulse amplitude (par. 4.4.3.),  Flowmeter, wiring and connection of terminal connectors (par. 4.4.3.),  Power supply of flowmeter (par. 4.4.2.).

Flowmeter generates "too many pulses":

Check:

 Settings for total and Flowrate: SETUP 11-14 and 21-27,  Type of signal with actual signal selection - SETUP - 51,  Sensitivity of coil input - SETUP - 51 and par. 4.4.3.  Proper grounding of the F118-A - par. 4.4.1.  Use screened wire for flowmeter signals and connect screen to terminal 9.

Analog output does not function properly:

Check:

 SETUP 71 - is the function enabled?  SETUP 72 / 73: are the flow-levels programmed correctly?  connection of the external power-supply according specification.  SETUP 27 - when 4mA should be generated as soon as the flowrate is zero, it might take this

time worst case. To get a quick response, decrease this time according to you desired response time.

Pulse output does not function:

Check:  SETUP 81 - pulse per X-quantity; is the value programmed reasonable and will the maximum

output be under 20Hz?

 SETUP 82 - 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 K-factor and time unit correct?  SETUP 26 / 27: The unit has to count the number of pulses according to SETUP 26 within the

time according to SETUP 27. Make sure that 27 is set like 10.0 seconds for example : the result is that the unit has at least 10 seconds time to measure the number of pulses according to SETUP 26.

The password is unknown:

If the password 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 F118-A VARIABLES FOR COMMUNICATION

TOTAL - variable number 566 (236h) – 6 bytes

Read total: The value of total read using communication 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: Impossible.

When reading or writing total or accumulated total it should be noted that the used values are given including the decimals. This means 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)

FLOWRATE - variable number 572 (23Ch) – 4 bytes Read flowrate: The value difference as mentioned with total/acc. total might appear here

too.

Write flowrate: Impossible.
