2.3. OPERATOR INFORMATION AND FUNCTIONS
In general, the F133-P will always function at Operator level. The information displayed is dependent
upon the SETUP-settings. All pulses generated by the connected flowmeter are measured by the
F133-P 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.
Start-up the delivery
You only can start-up when the "READY" indicator is shown on the display. When "READY" is
shown, the data of the last delivery is shown. When you press the "START" key, the F133-P initiates
a new delivery, the "RUN" indicator comes on and temporarily the total shows "8888888" and the
flow rate "88888". Depending on the setup of the F133-P, relays are switched to start the pump(s)
and to open the valve(s). In the software, a timer is started to monitor the flow rate.
When a flow is detected, the delivery will start and the total and the flow rate show the actual status.
When the flow rate is not sufficient, the delivery will not start and the Alarm indicator comes on, the
total shows "0000000" and the flow rate shows "not started". The startup sequence is stopped.
Fig. 3: Display information during start-up.
Fig. 4: Display information during delivery.
Interrupt the delivery
After the startup sequence is completed, the dispense sequence becomes active. During the
dispense sequence you can interrupt the delivery temporarily with the STOP command. The
"PAUSE" indicator comes on and an internal restart timer is started. Note that the pump stays on
and the valve is closed. The delivery is continued when the restart timer still active and the START
command is given. When the restart timer is lapsed, the delivery is stopped automatically.
Fig. 5: Display information during pause.
Selecting total, accumulated total and batch-counter
When "READY" is displayed, following functions are available:
Batch-total
To display the batch-total, use the STOP button. This quantity equals the accumulated
delivered quantity (from the START moment till the READY moment) and cannot be initialized
by the operator. It will count up to 9999999.
Press STOP a few times to return to the main display information.
Batch-counter
To display the batch-counter, press STOP again. This counter displays the number of
deliveries that have been made successfully and cannot be initialized by the operator.
It will count up to 9999999.
Press STOP a few times to return to the main display information.

Display Total and accumulated Total
Press STOP to display the Total and Accumulated Total. These totalizers do count the
flowmeters signal continuously, even when no process is running.
The value for Total can be initialized. To do so, be sure Total is displayed.
First press PROG followed by STOP. After pressing PROG, the text "PUSH STOP" is
displayed. To avoid initialization in that stage, press a different key or wait for 20 seconds.
Initialization of Total DOES NOT influence accumulated Total.
Accumulated Total can never be initialized. This value will count up to 99999999999.
Press STOP a few times to return to the main display information.
Alarms
The following alarms can occur:
Flowrate alarm:
When the actual flowrate is outside the allowed range (as set in the setup menu), the delivery
will be paused automatically and an alarm message will be displayed indicating the type of
flow rate alarm: "LO RATE" or "HI RATE". If pause is enabled, the delivery can be restarted.
Maximum batch:
When the total quantity delivered exceeds a certain quantity, the F133-P will switch-off all
relays and generate an "MAX BATCH" alarm.
If pause is enabled, the delivery can be restarted.
Low-battery alarm
When the battery voltage becomes too low, the battery indicator comes on. When the battery
indicator is on, as soon as possible, install a fresh and new battery as detailed in the chapter
maintenance.

3.2.4. EXPLANATION OF SETUP-FUNCTIONS
1 - TOTAL
UNIT
11
This setting gives the measurement unit for the indication of the batch
total and the accumulated batch total. The following units can be selected:
L - m3 - kg - lb. - GAL - USGAL - bbl –no unit.
When you change the measurement unit, 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.
DECIMALS
12
This setting sets, for the (accumulated) total indication, the amount of
digits behind the decimal pointer.
The following can be selected:
0000000 - 111111.1 - 22222.22 - 3333.333
K-FACTOR
13
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 measurement unit (SETUP 11), for example per
cubic meter. The more accurate the K-factor, the more accurate the
functioning of the system will be.
Example 1: Calculating the K-factor.
Assume that the flowmeter generates 2.4813 pulses per liter
and the selected unit is “cubic meters / m3”. A cubic meter
consists of 1000 parts of one liter 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.
Assume that the flowmeter 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”.
When you recalculate and enter 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 enter
the recalculated K-Factor.
DECIMALS K-FACTOR
14
This setting sets, for the K-factor, the amount of digits behind the decimal
pointer. The following can be selected:
0 - 1 - 2 - 3 - 4 - 5 - 6
Please note that this setting influences the accuracy of the K-factor
indirectly. (i.e. the position of the decimal point and thus the value given)
This setting has NO influence on the displayed number of digits for total
(SETUP 12)!
BATCH MAXIMUM
15
With this setting you can set the batch maximum.
BATCH TOTAL
16
Batch total - also displayed at operator level - displays the accumulated
quantity of product being delivered. From here, this total can be
programmed to zero or to any desired quantity.
BATCH COUNTER
17
Batch count - also displayed at operator level - displays the number of
deliveries executed. From here, this total can be reset to zero or being
programmed to any desired quantity

FW_F133-P_M_v0601_01_EN
Page 15
2 - FLOWRATE
The settings for preset 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.
UNIT
21
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 -
scf - Nm3 - NL - P
When you change the measurement unit, you must recalculate and
enter the K-factor for the flowrate.
TIME
22
The flowrate can be calculated per second (SEC), minute (MIN), hour
(HR) or day (DAY).
DECIMALS
23
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
K-FACTOR
24
With the K-factor, the flowmeter pulse signals are converted to a flowrate.
The K-factor is based on the number of pulses generated by the
flowmeter per selected measurement unit (SETUP 21), for example per
liter. The more accurate the K-factor, the more accurate the functioning of
the system will be. For examples read SETUP 13.
DECIMALS K-FACTOR
25
This setting determines the number of decimals for the K-factor
(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 decimals for
“flowrate” (SETUP 23)!
CALCULATION
26
The flowrate is calculated by counting the number of pulses within a
certain time, for example 1 second. The longer the time the more accurate
the flowrate will be. The maximum value is 999.9 seconds.
This setting does influence the update time for the analog output
directly (maximum update 10 times a second). If the output response is
too slow, decrease the number of pulses.
The shorter the time, the higher the power consumption of the unit will
be (important for battery powered applications).
CUT-OFF TIME
27
With this setting, you determine a minimum flow requirement thresh-hold,
if during this time less than XXX-pulses (SETUP 26) are generated, the
flowrate will be displayed as zero.
The cut-off time has to be entered in seconds - maximum time is 999
seconds (about 15 minutes).
LOW FLOWRATE
ALARM
28
The minimum allowed flowrate is determined with this setting.
The measuring units are according setup 21-23.
An alarm will be generated as long as the actual rate is under this value.
With value 0.0 the function is disabled.
HIGH FLOWRATE
ALARM
29
The maximum allowed flowrate is determined with this setting.
The measuring units are according setup 21-23.
An alarm will be generated as long as the actual rate is above this value.
With value 0.0 the function is disabled.
DELAY TIME ALARM
2A
An alarm generated by setting 28-29 can be ignored during X-time.
Is the actual flowrate still incorrect after this delay time, then an alarm will
be generated.

FW_F133-P_M_v0601_01_EN
Page 16
3 - DISPLAY
LIGHT
41
The brightness of the backlight can be set in following range:
0% (OFF) –20% - 40% - 60% - 80% - 100% (FULL BRIGHTNESS).
BL ALARM
42
This function determines the behavior of the backlight (BL) during an alarm.
The following can be selected:
OFF: during a flowrate alarm, the backlight does not change;
ON: during a flowrate alarm, the backlight comes on red;
FLASH: during a flowrate alarm, the backlight blinks red;.
4 - POWER MANAGEMENT
When used with the internal battery option, the user can expect reliable measurement over a long
period of time. The F133-P has several smart power management functions to extend the battery life
time significantly. Two of these functions can be set:
LCD NEW
41
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. pulses and 1 sec
update: about 5 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.
BATTERY-MODE
42
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.
5 - FLOWMETER
SIGNAL
51
The F133-P is able to handle several types of input signal. The type of
flowmeter pickup / signal is selected with SETUP 51.

6 - CONTROL
Two open-collector outputs (Optional: mechanic relays or active outputs) are available to control
relays or small valves (max. 50VDC –300mA).
It is advised to use relay one for pump-start and relay two for the valve control.
DELAY TIME
61
This is the time between the moment of a start-signal and the moment before
relay 2 will be switched on. In the mean time, relay 1 will be switched to
control e.g. a pump. With time 0.0 seconds, this function is disabled.
BEGIN TIME
62
After the delay-time (51), relay 2 will be switched-on as well. and the
“begin-time” becomes valid.
The unit has to receive about twice the number of pulses as programmed
with setting 26, before “start-up time” (setup 63) becomes valid.
If not enough pulses have been received within this time, the delivery will
be cancelled. With time 0.0 seconds, this function is disabled.
START-UP TIME
63
Now, the start-up time allows the system to become operational without
having a low-flowrate alarm. After this time, the system will become full
operational. With time 0.0 seconds, this function is disabled.
NO PULSE TIME
64
As soon as the unit is full operational, the flow can be monitored.
The F133-P will switch-off relay 1 and 2 (or relay 2 only: see setting
65/66) as soon as during X-seconds no pulses have been received from
the flowmeter. In most cases, this is “end of process” (see 65).
With time 0.0 seconds, this function is disabled.
PAUSE
65
With this function, a “pause-function” can be enabled: if during the
process “stop” will be pressed, or the process is interrupted for another
reason like “no pulse time”, “flowrate alarm” or with the “status input”, the
batch will be stopped but can be resumed. If the unit comes in “PAUSE”,
relay 2 will be switched-off but relay 1 (pump control) remains energized.
Applications where this function is useful is delivery of sub-batches for
example where you want to have one “overall” total.
RESTART TIME
66
Following setup 65, the F133-P allows the Operator to restart a delivery
within X-seconds. If this does not happen within this time, the delivery will
be finished completely. With time 0.0 seconds, this function is disabled.
OVERRUN TIME
67
As soon as a delivery has been finished, the relays will be switched-off
but there may still be some flow till the valve is closed.
During this “overrun-time” all pulses will be counted as being part of the
delivery. We advise to program a time of one second or a couple of
seconds, depending on the response time of your system to close the
valve. With time 0.0 seconds, this function is disabled.
7 - STATUS
For external control of the F133-P, the unit can be started and/or stopped with two external switches.
STATUS INPUT 1
71
Following functions can be selected:
OFF: status input is disabled.
START-function: do generate a short pulse to start a delivery.
STOP-function: do generate a short pulse to stop the delivery.
CONTINUOUSLY: do switch the input continuously to execute a delivery;
first “disconnect” when the delivery is READY.
When it is interrupted during the batch, the unit goes
always to “READY”. To start-up a new batch, the input

FW_F133-P_M_v0601_01_EN
Page 18
must be interrupted for at least 100msec. in-between
deliveries
STATUS INPUT 2
72
Following functions can be selected:
OFF: status input is disabled.
PAUSE-function: do generate a short pulse to pause the delivery.
STOP-function: do generate a short pulse to stop the delivery.
BOTH-function: do generate a short pulse to pause the delivery.
One more pulse will stop the delivery.
8 - COMMUNICATION (OPTIONAL)
The functions described below deal with hardware that is not part of the standard delivery.
Programming of these functions does not have any effect if this hardware has not been installed.
Consult Appendix C for a detailed explanation.
SPEED
81
For external control, the following communication speeds can be selected:
1200 –2400 –4800 –9600 –9600HP –19200 –38400
ADDRESS
82
For communication purposes, a unique identity can be attributed to every F133-P.
This address can vary from 001-247.
MODE
83
The communication protocol is Modbus ASCII or RTU mode. Select OFF, to
disable this communication function.
DATABITS
84
This setting determines for communication the number of databits.
Select 8 bit for BUS-RTU and 7 bits for BUS-ASC.
PARITY
85
As demanded by the connected equipment, select a parity bit (odd, even or none).
COMM. LOCK
86
With this setting, you determine if the unit will be locked after a delivery
till the unit will be released through communication (read appendix C
value 157 (9Dh).
Following can be selected:
disable: function is disabled
time-out: the unit will be locked for 10 minutes or till communication
release. If nothing happens within 10 minutes, the unit will
release itself automatically.
full: the unit can only be released through communication. When
the delivery is waiting to be released, the display will show
‘FINISHING’. Note that all keys and external controls are
disabled during this time.
When you select this option you can ONLY release the unit to normal
operation after each delivery through communications. If you accidentally
lock yourself out, please remove all power (including the battery) so the unit
will restart. You can then enter the setup-level to change this setting.
