3.4. Setup menu - Explanation
The settings for the (accumulated) total and flow rate are independent from each other. For this reason it is possible to have
for (accumulated) total and for the flow rate different engineering units, e.g. the (accumulated) total is set to m³ where the
flow rate is set to liters per time unit. For this reason you need to calculate and set the K-Factor for the (accumulated) total as
well as for the flow rate.
1. Total
1.1 unit This submenu is used to select the engineering unit for the indication of the total and the
accumulated total.
When you change the engineering unit for total, you must recalculate and enter the K-Factor for
the (accumulated) total. When you recalculate and enter the 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 enter
the recalculated K-Factor.
1.2 decs This submenu is used to set the amount of digits behind the decimal pointer for the (accumula-
ted) total indication.
1.3 k-f This submenu is used to set the K-Factor for the total. With the K-Factor, the flow meter pulse
signals are converted to a quantity. The K-Factor is based on the number of pulses generated by
the flow meter per selected engineering unit, for example per m³. A more accurate K-Factor (more
decimals, as set in kf-d) allows for a more accurate operation of the system.
1.4 kf-d This submenu is used to set the amount of digits behind the decimal pointer for the K-Factor.
The setting for the K-Factor decimals has an indirect effect on the accuracy of the K-Factor because
more decimals give a higher accuracy.

General description
December 2019 Seite 5AC_F001_IA_02_2243
Examples
Metric The flow meter generates 2.4813 pulses per liter and the selected engineering unit is m³. 1 m³ equals 1,000
liters, therefore per m³, 2,481.300 pulses are generated. The K-Factor is based on the number of pulses
generated by the flow meter per selected engineering unit, which gives 2,481.300/m³ and equals a K-Factor of
2,481.300.
• For the K-Factor enter 2481300.
• For the Decimals K-Factor enter 3.
Imperial The flow meter generates 6.5231 pulses per USGAL and the selected engineering unit is USGAL.
The engineering unit is the same, so 6.523100 pulses are generated. The K-Factor is based on the number of
pulses generated by the flow meter per selected engineering unit, which equals a K-Factor 6.523100.
• For the K-Factor enter 6523100.
• For the Decimals K-Factor enter 6.
2. Rate
2.1 unit This submenu is used to select the engineering unit for the indication of the flow rate.
2.2 time This submenu is used to set the time unit for the flow rate calculation. Note that the flow rate is
given in engineering unit/time unit, e.g. liter/minute (l/min).
2.3 decs This submenu is used to set the amount of digits behind the decimal pointer for the flow rate
indication.
2.4 k-f This submenu is used to set the K-Factor for the flow rate. With the K-Factor, the flow meter pulse
signals are converted to a quantity. The K-Factor is based on the number of pulses generated by
the flow meter per selected engineering unit, for example per m³. A more accurate K-Factor (more
decimals, as set in kf-d) allows for a more accurate operation of the system.
2.5 kf-d This submenu is used to set the amount of digits behind the decimal pointer for the K-Factor.
The setting for the K-Factor decimals has an indirect effect on the accuracy of the K-Factor because
more decimals give a higher accuracy.
2.6 meas This submenu is used to set the time during which the flow rate is calculated. The flow rate is
calculated from the number of pulses which have passed during a set period of time.
3. Meter
3.1 sign This submenu is used to set the type of output signal from the flow meter.
• Coil is used for coil pickup (sine waves);
• Reed is used for reed switches;
• NPN is used for flow meters with a NPN output signal;
• PNP is used for flow meters with a PNP output signal;
• NAMUR is used for flow meters with a NAMUR output.
4. A-OUT
4.1 mode This submenu is used to enable or disable the analog output.
4.2 r.min This submenu is used to set the flow rate at which the output generates the minimum signal
(4 mA).
4.3 r.max This submenu is used to set the flow rate at which the output generates the maximum signal
(29 mA).

General description

WARNING
DO NOT TUNE THE OUTPUT IF A PROCESS IS ACTIVE. UNWANTED RESULTS WILL OCCUR IF YOU TUNE THE F001 WHEN
THE ANALOG OUTPUT IS IN USE. UNWANTED RESULTS CAN RESULT IN (SERIOUS) DAMAGE TO EQUIPMENT.
OTE:N If required, you can program the analog output up-side-down. In other words the minimum current
represents the 20 mA signal and the maximum current represents the 4 mA signal.
4.4 t.min The minimum analog output is set to 4 mA (as a default). However, as a result of the ambeint
conditions, this value might need a correction for the actual situation. This submenu is used to set
a correction for the minimum signal (4 mA).
4.5 t.max The maximum analog output is set to 20 mA (as a default). However, as a result of the ambient
conditions, this value might need a correction for the actual situation. This submenu is used to set
a correction for the maximum signal (20 mA).
5. D-OUT
5.1 mode This submenu is used to disable or to set a pulse output length. Short represents a puls length of
10 ms (maximum), Long represents a pulse length of 100 ms (maximum).
5.2 decs This submenu is used to set the amount of digits behind the decimal pointer for the quantity
(amnt).
5.3 amnt This submenu is used to set the quantity of a medium that has passed the sensor (is added to the
total) to generate a pulse. In other words, the quantity that represents one pulse.
For support and maintenance it is important to have information about the characteristics of the F001. Your supplier will ask
for this information when support is required.
6. Other
6.1 modl This submenu shows the model name. The model name is set by the factory.
6.2 v-no This submenu shows the version number of the firmware (software). The version number is set by
the factory.
6.3 s-no This submenu shows the serial number of the F001. The serial number is set by the factory.
6.4 pin This submenu is used to set a password (pin code) to limit the access for the setup menu. Only
persons who know the pin code can access the setup menu. The pin code 0000 disables the pin
code to allow for access by any person.
6.5 bl This submenu is used to set the backlight. Due to lack of sufficient power, the backlight does not
come on at battery power only.
3.5. Navigation
This sections describes how to navigate through the setup menu.
The setup menu has different menus and pages to configure the
F001. For navigation, the menus and pages are identified with
main menu numbers (e.g. 1) and submenu numbers (e.g. 1.2).
• Enter the setup menu: Press the SELECT key, for at least 7
seconds.
• Select a main menu: Press the CLEAR key, to find the
required main menu.
• Select submenu (setting): Press the SELECT key, to find the required submenu.
• Enter a submenu to make a selection: Short and simultaneously, press the SELECT and CLEAR key to access the submenu.
