Introduction
November 2014 AC_F110_BA_02_1346 Page 3
4. INTRODUCTION
4.1 System description of the F110
The display / totalizer F110 is a battery-powered device driven by microprocessors for displaying of the flow rate, total and
accumulated total. For that purpose, one flow meter can be connected to the F110. Two outputs are standardly available:
•Pulse output (open collector): A scaled pulse mirroring the count on the display is generated for use by external
instruments like counters for example.
•The passive analogue output with 10 bits’ resolution has programmable set points according to the flow rate for both
4mA and 20mA.
Furthermore, options are available for full communication RS232/485 (also battery powered) and intrinsically safe.
The F110 is designed to be implemented in many types of applications. For that reason, a SETUP level is available to configure
your display/totalizer best according to your requirements. SETUP includes several important features as K-factors,
measurement units, signal selection, etc. To extend the battery life time, please make use of the power management
functions as described in chapter 6.4.4.

5. OPERATION
5.1 In general
This chapter describes the daily use of the display / totalizer. This instruction is meant for the users/operators.
In general, the display/totalizer will always act at operator level. The information displayed depends on the SETUP settings.
Although the refresh rate of the display might be slow (due to power management functions), each flow meter pulse will be
measured. After pressing a key, the display will be updated very fast for 30 seconds after which it will slow down again.
5.2 Display flow rate / total or flow rate
This is the main display information of the F110. After selecting other information, it will
return to the main display automatically. The actual flow rate is either displayed at the
bottom line or with the 17mm digits at the upper line.
When "-------" are shown, the flow rate value is too high to be displayed. The arrows 
indicate the increase/decrease of the flow rate.
5.3 Resetting the totalizer
The value for total can be initialised. To do so, press CLEAR twice. After pressing CLEAR once, the text "PUSH CLEAR" is
displayed while the display information is flashing. To avoid initialisation in that stage, press a different key or wait for 10
seconds. Initialisation of total DOES NOT influence accumulated total.
5.4 Display accumulated total
When the SELECT key is pressed, total and accumulated total are displayed. Accumulated total can never be resetted. The
value will count up to 99,999,999,999. The unit and number of decimals are according to the totalizer.
5.5 Display of time and date
After pressing SELECT twice, the actual time and date is displayed.
5.6 Low battery level
When the battery voltage drops, the battery must be replaced. As soon as "low battery" is
displayed, please order a new battery. The remaining life time after the first moment of
indication is in general several days up to some weeks.

6.4 Explanations of the SETUP functions
6.4.1 TOTALIZER – 1
Measurement unit - 11:
SETUP - 11 determines the measurement unit for total and accumulated total. The following units can be selected:
L - m3 - kg - lb - GAL - USGAL - bbl - _ (no unit).
Alterations of the measurement unit will have consequences for operator and SETUP level values. Please note that the K-factor
has to be adapted as well.
Number of decimals displayed - 12:
The decimal point determines for total and accumulated total the number of digits following the decimal point. The following
can be selected:
0000 - 111.1 - 22.22 - 3.333
K-Factor - 13:
With the K-factor, the flow meter pulse signals are converted to a quantity. The K-factor is determined on the basis of the
measurement unit and the number of pulses generated per unit by the flow meter. Enter the number of pulses generated by
the flow meter per selected measurement unit (per cubic meter e.g.). The more accurate the K-factor, the more accurate the
functioning of the system will be.
Number of decimals displayed for K-Factor - 14:
This function determines the number of decimals for the K-factor (see 13). The following can be selected:
0 - 1 - 2 - 3 - 4 - 5 – 6
Please note that this function influences the accuracy of the K-factor indirectly. This setting has NO influence on the displayed
number of digits for total (SETUP 12)!
Example 1: Calculating the K-factor.
Let us assume that the flow meter generates 2.4813 pulses per litre and the selected unit is "cubic metres / m3". A cubic metre
consists of 1000 parts of one litre which implies 2,481.3 pulses per m3. So, the K-factor is 2,481.3. Enter for SETUP - 13:
"2481300" and for SETUP - 14 - decimals K-factor "3".
Example 2: Calculating the K-factor.
Let us assume that the flow meter generates 6.5231 pulses per gallon and the selected measurement unit is gallons. So, the K-
Factor is 6.5231. Enter for SETUP - 13: "6523100" and for SETUP - 14 decimals K-factor "6".

Configuration / setup
November 2014 AC_F110_BA_02_1346 Page 9
6.4.2 FLOW RATE – 2
The settings for total and flow rate are entirely separated. In this way, different measurement units can be used like cubic
meters for total and liters for flow rate. Please notice that all these settings influence the analog output as well.
Measurement unit - 21:
SETUP - 21 determines the measurement unit for flow rate. The following units can be selected:
L - m3- kg - ton - GAL - bbl - lb - _ (no unit).
NOTE: Alterations of the measurement unit will have consequences for operator and SETUP level values. The K-factor
has to be adapted as well.
Time unit - 22:
The actual flow rate can be calculated per second (SEC), minute (MIN), hour (HR) and day (DAY).
Number of decimals displayed - 23:
The decimal point determines for flow rate the number of digits following the decimal point. The following can be selected:
00000 - 1111.1
K-factor - 24:
With the K-factor, the pulse signals of the flow meter are converted to a quantity. The K-factor is determined on the basis of
the measurement unit and the number of pulses generated per unit by the flow meter. Enter here the number of pulses
generated by the flow meter per selected measurement unit (e.g. per litre). The more accurate the K-factor, the more accurate
the functioning of the system will be. For examples, see SETUP 13.
Number of decimals displayed, K-factor - 25:
This function determines the number of decimals for the K-factor (see setup 24). The following can be selected:
0 - 1 - 2 - 3 - 4 - 5 - 6
Please note that this SETUP influences the accuracy of the K-factor indirectly. This setting has NO influence on the displayed
number of digits for "flow rate" (SETUP 23)!
Calculation - 26:
The flow rate is calculated by measuring the time between pulses. As several types of flow meters have an unequal pulse train,
it is advised to calculate the flow rate over several pulses, for example 10 pulses; the maximum value is 99 pulses.
NOTE: The calculation time for very low frequencies (0.1-5Hz) is influenced by this setting as well; so do not program too many pulses!
When the frequency is above 3kHz during normal conditions, it is advised to calculate more than 50 pulses.
Cut-off time - 27:
With this setting, you determine when a flow rate is zero; when during this time less than XX-pulses (see setup 26) are
generated, the flow rate will be displayed as zero.

Configuration / setup
Page 10 AC_F110_BA_02_1346 November 2014
6.4.3 DISPLAY - 3
Function - 31
The large 17 mm digits can be set to display total or flow rate digits at operator level. When total is selected, both total and
flow rate are displayed simultaneously. When flow rate is selected, total will be displayed after pressing select.
6.4.4 POWER MANAGEMENT - 4
As the F110 is normally battery powered, the user will have the concern of reliable measurement over a long period of time.
The F110 has several smart power management functions to extend the battery life time significantly. Two of these functions
can be set:
LCD refresh - 41:
The calculation of the display information influences the power consumption significantly. When the application does not
require a fast display update, we advise you to select a slow refresh rate.
NOTE: No information will be lost; every pulse will be counted and the output signals are not influenced.
The following can be selected:
Fast - 1 sec - 3 sec - 15 sec - 30 sec.
Example: battery life time with a coil pick-up and FAST update: About 3 years. Battery life time with a coil pick-up and 1 sec
update: About 8 years.
Please note that after a button has been pressed by the operator, the display refresh rate will be FAST during the initial 30
seconds.
Battery mode - 42:
The unit has two modes: operational or shelf. When shelf is selected, you can store the unit for several years; it will not count
pulses, the display is switched off but all settings are stored. In this mode, power consumption is extremely low. Normally, the
mode will be operational.
6.4.5 FLOW METER - 5
Signal - 51:
The F110 is able to handle several types of signals. The type of flow meter pickup / signal is selected in software with SETUP
51.

6.4.6 ANALOG OUTPUT - 6
A passive linear 4-20mA output signal is generated according to the flow rate with a 10 bit resolution. The settings for flow
rate (SETUP - 2) influences the analogue output directly. When the analogue output is not used, please make sure that setting
61 is disabled, else the battery lifetime will be decreased significantly! The relationship between rate and analogue output is
set with following functions:
Enable / disable - 61:
As the D/A converter has a relatively high power consumption, it is strongly advised to power the unit externally. When the
analogue output will not be used, select "disable" to switch-off the converter.
Minimum flow - 62:
Enter here the flow rate which the output should generate a 4mA signal (mostly at rate "zero"). The number of decimals
displayed is according to setup 24. The time and measuring units (L/min e.g.) are according setup 21 and 22 but cannot be
displayed.
Maximum flow - 63:
Enter here the flow rate which the output should generate a 20mA (mostly at maximum possible rate). The number of
decimals displayed is according to setup 24. The time and measuring units (L/min e.g.) are according setup 21 and 22 but
cannot be displayed.
6.4.7 PULSE OUTPUT - 7
One open collector output is available to generate a pulse per quantity. This frequency output is programmable and has a
maximum frequency of 20Hz.
Pulse width - 71:
When the pulse is used to drive an electromechanical counter, a long pulse - 100msec - will be required. Consequently, the
maximum output frequency is 5Hz. For electronic counters a frequency of max. 20Hz. is offered with a short pulse of 25msec.
NOTE: When the frequency goes out of range (when the flow rate increases for example) an internal buffer will be used to "store the
pulses": As soon as the flow rate goes down, the buffer will be "emptied". It might be that pulses will be missed due to a buffer
overflow, so it is advised to program setup 71 within its range. It is advised to select "OFF" when the pulse output is not used.
Pulses per – 72:
According to the settings for total, a pulse will be generated every X quantity. Enter here this quantity while taking the
decimal position and measuring unit into account.

7.2 Installation / environmental conditions
Take the relevant IP classification of the casing into account (see
manufacturer’s plate). Even an IP67 (NEMA 4X) casing should NEVER be
exposed to strongly varying (weather) conditions.
When panel mounted, the unit is IP65 (NEMA 4)!
When used in very cold surroundings or varying climatic conditions, take
the necessary precautions against moisture by placing a dry sachet of
silica gel, for example, inside the instrument case.
Mount the F110 on a solid structure to avoid vibrations.

7.5.1 OVERVIEW
For installation, pay special attention to:
•SEPARATED CABLE GLANDS WITH EFFECTIVE IP67 SEALS FOR ALL WIRES.
•NOT USED CABLE ENTRIES: DO PLACE CLOSED IP67 PLUGS.
•A RELIABLE GROUNDING OF THE SEVERAL COMPONENTS, ELECTRONICS AND - IF BE APPLICABLE - METAL CASING.
•AN EFFECTIVE SCREENED CABLE FOR SIGNAL WIRING AND GROUNDING OF THE SCREENING IN TERMINAL 9 (GND). SEE

7.5.2 VOLTAGE SUPPLY FLOW METER PICK UP
Battery powered and loop powered applications:
A supply voltage of 3.2 Volt DC is available for the signal output of the flow meter. This voltage may not be used to power the
flow meters electronics, converters etc. as it is not a power output! All energy used by the flow meters pick-up influences the
battery lifetime directly; it is strongly advised to use a "zero power" pickup as a coil or reed-switch. It is possible to use a NPN
or PNP output signal, but the battery life time will be reduced.
Externally powered applications 5-30 VAC/DC:
When the F110 is powered with 5-30VAC/DC supply, it is possible to power the flow meters electronics with 3.2 Volt DC (max.
50mA). The type of pick-up does not influence the battery life time as long as the external power supply is available.
NAMUR:
For a NAMUR pick-up, an external power supply of 8.2-30VAC/DC is required. The voltage supply to the flow meter should be
according DIN19 234 (8.2VDC) when NAMUR-input is selected (see setup 51).

7.5.3 PULSE OUTPUT
(connectors 4-5, SETUP 71)
An open collector output generates a pulse of 100 msec. (setting long) or 25msec. (setting short) according to a certain
quantity. This output can be used for driving an external counter relay e.g. For power-consumption reasons, it is advised to
select "OFF" when the output will not be used.
7.5.4 EXTERNAL POWER SUPPLY 5-30VAC/DC
(connectors 6-7)
5-30 volt AC/DC: connect an external power-supply to these terminals. For a DC supply connect the + to terminal 6 and the -
to terminal 7.
7.5.5 ANALOG OUTPUT
A 4-20mA-current-sink proportional to the flow rate is available. A DC
power supply should be connected to the F110 where the current is
regulated by the F110. The analogue output signal influences the
battery lifetime significantly; therefore, it is strongly advised to
connect a separate power line to connector 6. Do NOT use the same
wire as the analogue value will be incorrect! When the analogue-
output is not used, please make sure that setup 61 is disabled.
