1 INTRODUCTION
1.1 SYSTEM DESCRIPTION
Functions and features
The batch controller model F132-P is a microprocessor driven instrument designed for batching and
filling of small up to large quantities as well as displaying the flow rate, the total and the accumulated
total. This product has been designed with a focus on:
•ultra-low power consumption to allow long-life battery powered applications (type PB/PC);
•intrinsic safety for use in hazardous applications (type XI);
•several mounting possibilities with aluminum or GRP enclosures for harsh industrial
surroundings;
•ability to process all types of flowmeter signals;
•transmitting possibilities with analog / pulse outputs;
•receipt printer interface to print completed batch receipts.
Flowmeter input
This manual describes the unit with a pulse input from the flowmeter. Other versions are available to
process (0)4-20mA signals.
One flowmeter with a passive or active pulse, Namur or sine wave (coil) signal output can be
connected to the F132-P. To power the sensor, several options are available.
Fig. 1: Typical application
Configuration of the F132-P
The F132-P is designed for use in many types of applications. For that reason, a setup menu is
available to program the F132-P according to your specific requirements.
The setup includes several important features, such as K-Factors, engineering units, signal
selection, power management (to extend battery life-time), etc. All settings are stored in a non-
volatile memory and therefore kept in the event of a power failure or an exhausted battery.
Display information
The unit has a LCD with (optional) backlight to show the process information, status and alarm messages.
The display refresh rate is programmed in the setup menu.
At a key press, the display refresh rate will switch to FAST for 30 seconds. When 'OFF' is selected,
the display goes off after 30 seconds after the last key press. The display temporarily comes on after
a key press.
A backup of the total and accumulated total in EEPROM memory is made every minute.

character.
2.2 OPERATOR INFORMATION AND FUNCTIONS
In general, the F132-P operates in the operator
mode. The shown information depends on the
settings which are made in the setup menu.
The signal from the connected sensor is processed
by the F132-P in the background, independent from
the selected display refresh rate.
Fig. 3: Process information (typical)
▪To enter a batch quantity (change the preset)
You can only change the preset when the READY
indicator is on.
1. Press the PROG/ENTER key until the
PROGRAM indictor starts to blink.
2. Use the START/and STOP/key to change
the value.
3. Momentarily, press the PROG/ENTER key to
confirm the new preset.
Fig. 4: Program preset value (typical)
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. The PRESET-value can be used time after time till a new value is programmed.
Changes are only saved when you press the PROG/ENTER key.

Page 8
FW_F132P_v1901_02_EN.docx
▪Leading zero
The amount of leading zeros is dependent on the batch maximum setting. In this menu the
leading zeros will show. When you confirm the selection with the PROG/ENTER key, the
F132-P will hide the leading zeros in the operational preset menu.
It is not possible to enter a preset value which exceeds the batch maximum setting. E.g. if the
batch maximum is set to 20000, it will not be possible to set 21000. If you want to preset
21000, you must change the batch maximum setting.
Fig. 5: Leading zero (typical)
▪Batch maximum/minimum
When you program a new value which is not valid, the decrease-sign ▼ (batch too big, program
a smaller batch) or the increase-sign ▲ (batch to small, program a bigger batch) will show.
▪To start the batch process
The batch process can only be started when "READY" is shown. The batch process is started
by pressing the START/key. Depending on the SETUP-settings, one or two relays will be
switched. The arrows at the display indicate if the ACTUAL-value is counting up or down.
▪To interrupt or to stop the batch process
When the STOP/key is pressed once, the batch
process is paused; the actual values are not lost. At
the display, the word "PAUSE" blinks. In this case
the, the batch process can be resumed with the
START/key.
When the STOP/key is pressed two times, the
batch process is stopped completely. In this case the
actual values are "lost" and the system returns to
steady state: the batch process cannot be resumed.
Fig. 6: Process paused (typical)
When the batch has completed the display shows "READY" and one receipt is printed automatically.
▪Clear batch total
The value for total can be reset. To do so, select Total and press PROG followed by STOP -
STOP. After pressing the STOP/key once, the flashing text "PUSH STOP" is shown. To
avoid a reset at this stage, press another key than the STOP/key or wait for 20 seconds.
The reset of total DOES NOT influence the accumulated total.
▪Display accumulated total
When the STOP/key is pressed, total and accumulated total are shown. The accumulated
total cannot be reset. The value will count up to 99,999,999,999. The unit and number of
decimals are shown according to the configuration settings for total.
▪Display batch number
When "READY" is shown, press the STOP/key two times to view the number of completed
batches. The number of batches cannot be reset.
▪Print a receipt
When the batch has completed the display shows "READY" and one receipt is printed
automatically. As long as the "READY" indicator shows, you can reprint a receipt as many times as required.
When "READY" is shown, press the STOP/key three times to view the reprint menu.
Press the START/key (Yes) to print another receipt or press the STOP/key (No) to cancel
and return to the main operator display.

FW_F132P_v1901_02_EN.docx
▪Low-battery alarm
Only use original batteries. Original batteries can be ordered at the manufacturer.
The use of unapproved batteries will void the warranty.
•
At the end of the battery’s life-time, the
voltage starts to drop. When the voltage
becomes too low, the battery indicator comes
on. When the battery indicator is on, install a
new and fresh battery as soon as possible.
Fig. 7: Example of low-battery alarm
▪No-flow alarm
The F132-P offers a no-flow monitoring feature: When the flowmeter does not generate a signal
during a certain (preset) time period, the F132-P will shut-off the control output(s) and bring the
batch controller in alarm status. The “PAUSE” and “ALARM” indicators come on and NO FLOW is
shown. Press the STOP/key to confirm the alarm status and note that the “PAUSE” indicator
stays on. Now you can cancel or continue the batch (after you have solved the possible problem).
▪Alarm
When the alarm indicator is shown, refer to Appendix B: Problem Solving.
▪Printer malfunction
Refer to the manual that came with the printer or refer to Appendix B: Problem Solving.

reprogram the K-factor for the (accumulated) total. When you
recalculate and reprogram the K-Factor, the history for
(accumulated) batch total is not correct anymore, because the
(accumulated) batch total is not recalculated. For future reference,
best practice is to make a note of the accumulated total before you
program the recalculated K-Factor.
12
DECIMALS
This setting is used to set the amount of digits behind the decimal point for the
(accumulated) total indication.
13
K-FACTOR
This setting is used to set the K-Factor for the total. 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 engineering unit, for
example per m3. A more accurate K-Factor (more decimals, as set in decimals
K-Factor) allows for a more accurate operation of the system.
Example 1: Calculating the K-Factor.
The flowmeter generates 2.4813 pulses per liter and the selected unit is m3. A
cubic meter consists of 1000 liter which gives 2.4813 pulses*1000 liter=2481.3
pulses per m3. So, the K-Factor is 2481.3. Enter for the Flowmeter K-Factor:
24813 and for the flowmeter K-Factor decimals: 1.
Example 2: Calculating the K-Factor.
The flowmeter generates 6.5231 pulses per gallon and the selected engineering
unit is gallons. So, the K-Factor is 6.5231. Enter for the Flowmeter K-Factor:
65231 and for the Flowmeter K-Factor decimals: 4.
When you recalculate and reprogram a new K-Factor, the history for
(accumulated) batch total is not correct anymore, because the
(accumulated) batch total is not recalculated. For future reference,
best practice is to make a note of the accumulated total before you
program the recalculated K-Factor.
14
DECIMALS K-FACTOR
This setting is used to set the amount of digits behind the decimal point for the
K-Factor.
15
BATCH MINIMUM
This setting is used to set the lower limit for a batch volume. An operator
cannot set a batch volume which is beyond the lower limit.
16
BATCH MAXIMUM
This setting is used to set the upper limit for a batch volume. An operator
cannot set a batch volume which is beyond the upper limit.
3.1.3 EXPLANATION OF SETUP-MENU 2 - OVERRUN
Due to system parameters which are beyond the settings of the batch controller, an overrun can
occur at the end of a batch. The batch controller analyzes the overrun volume and automatically
corrects the volume each time after each batch (self learning).
2
OVERRUN
21
OVERRUN
For an accurate overrun correction, it is necessary that the flowmeter
meets certain technical demands, such as "high resolution" and shows
no "false" overrun due to a slow update time. Do not enable this function
if the flow meter is not compatible to this function.
22
TIME
The overrun characteristic of the system will be analyzed during a certain
time after the batch relay has been de-energized. In this way, false signal
generated through leakage are eliminated. Enter here the expected time
needed by the system to stop a batch. It is advisable to provide extra time in
order to avoid an incorrect overrun correction or false leakage alarms.
The next batch can only be started after the overrun time is completed!

3.1.4 EXPLANATION OF SETUP-MENU 3 - ALARM
The F132-P offers a no-flow monitoring feature: When the flowmeter does not generate a signal
during a certain (preset) time period, the F132-P will shut-off the control output(s) and bring the
batch controller in alarm status.

ALARM
31
NO-FLOW
This setting is used to program the behavior of the no-flow alarm. When
the flow rate is zero, it is possible to ignore or disable the no-flow
monitoring.
32
TIME
This setting is used to set a delay time for the related alarm. When the
alarm condition is still valid after the delay time, an alarm is given.
3.1.5 EXPLANATION OF SETUP-MENU 4 - DISPLAY

DISPLAY
41
DISPLAY
This setting is used to set the behavior of the counter during a batch
process: count down (quantity to do) or count up (quantity done).
42
LIGHT
The backlight brightness can be adjusted from 0% (off) to 100% (full
brightness) in steps of 20%.
3.1.6 EXPLANATION OF SETUP-MENU 5 - POWER MANAGEMENT
When used with the internal battery option (type PB/PC), the user can expect reliable measurement
over a long period of time. The F132-P has several smart power management functions to extend
the battery life time significantly. Two of these functions can be set.
5
POWER MANAGEMENT
51
LCD NEW
The calculation of the display-information influences the power
consumption significantly. When the application does not require a fast
display refresh rate, 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.
At a key press, the display refresh rate will switch to FAST for 30 seconds.
When 'OFF' is selected, the display goes off after 30 seconds after the last
key press. The display temporarily comes on after a key press.
Example battery life-time with a coil pick-up:
•1kHz pulse and FAST update: about 2 years;
•1kHz pulse and 1 sec update: about 5 years.
52
BATTERY MODE
The F132-P has two modes: operational or shelf.
After "shelf" has been selected, the F132-P can be stored for several years; it will
not process the sensor 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 F132-P again, press the START/key two times.
3.1.7 EXPLANATION OF SETUP-MENU 6 - FLOWMETER
With this setting the type of flowmeter output is selected. The settings with LP (low-pass) filter are
used to apply a build-in noise reduction. Selections "active pulse" offer a detection level of 50% of
the supply voltage.

3.1.8 EXPLANATION OF SETUP-MENU 7 - RELAY OUTPUT
Two control outputs are available to control relays or valves. Relay 2 can also be used as pulse
output according the batch total (actual) or accumulated total.
7
RELAYS
71
RELAYS
This submenu is used to set the function of related output.
1-Step: The F132-P is used for one-stage batch control while R2 is used
as a scaled pulse output.
2-Step: The F132-P is used for two-stage batch control.
72
PRECLOSE
According to the setting 71 - 2-step, relay two will be used to control a
second valve for the batch process. If the product is batched in two steps,
the switch-off-moment for relay 2 has to be set. The switch moment is
based on the remaining quantity before the end of batch.
If preclose is set to zero, relay 2 will switch simultaneously with relay 1.
The settings: width, decimals, amount and pulse are only valid when
relay 2 is used as a scaled pulse output. A scaled pulse output is used to
indicate that the batch or accumulated total has increased with the value
as set in the setup 75.
73
WIDTH
When relay 2 is used as a scaled pulse output:
The pulse width determines the time that the output will be active; in other
words the pulse duration. Value “zero” will disable the pulse output.
The pulse signal always has a 50% duty cycle, hence the minimum time
between the pulses is equal to the pulse width setting. If the frequency
should go out of range –when the flow rate increases for example –an
internal buffer will be used to “store the missed pulses”: As soon as the
flow rate slows 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 this setting within its range!
74
DECIMALS
This setting is used to set the amount of digits behind the decimal point for the
amount.
75
AMOUNT
A pulse will be generated every time a certain quantity is added to the
total. Enter this quantity here while taking the decimals for pulse into
account.
76
PULSE
The pulse generation is controlled by the batch total or the accumulated
total.
When set to “batch”, the buffer (setting: Width) will be emptied when a new
batch is started.

4.4 INSTALLING THE HARDWARE
•Electro static discharge does inflict irreparable damage to electronics! Before installing or
opening the F132-P , the installer has to discharge himself by touching a well-grounded
object.
•For reasons of ESD and safety, always ground the metal enclosure properly as indicated,
especially if the unit has been supplied with the 115-230V AC power-supply type PM or
relays type OR. It is the responsibility of the installer to install, connect and test the
Protective Earth connections in accordance with the (inter)national Rules and
Regulations.
•This chapter shows general information regarding the electrical installation of the F132-P .
Chapter 5 gives additional specific information regarding Intrinsically safe installation and
overrules the information given in this chapter.
•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 not blend metal front covers with non-metallic rear covers, vice versa and / or cable
glands. A metal cover on a non-metallic rear cover could lead to ESD. A metal cable
gland in a non-metallic enclosure could invalidate isolation.
4.4.1 GENERAL INSTALLATION GUIDELINES
•The F132-P that came with a power module type PM; 110V-230V AC or type PD/PF with an
option OR (the relays can handle 110V-230V AC) shall be connected to the Protective Earth (PE)
stud which is installed in the metal back panel. The metal front panel is connected to the
Protective Earth by the mounting screws and serrated washers.
•For V AC applications, the terminal 00 shall not be connected to avoid earth loops.
For V DC applications, the terminal 00 shall be connected to the common (do NOT use for PE).
•The wire screens (shield) are meant to prevent electromagnetic interference and shall be,
galvanic isolated, connected to the common ground terminals that belong to the specific sensor
connection. The wire screens shall be terminated at one side to prevent wire loops. Inside of the
Fluidwell unit, the different common ground terminals are connected to each other. It is advised,
as illustrated, to terminate the wire screens in the vicinity of the sensor and to insulated the wire
screen with a shrink tube at the Fluidwell unit side.
•Separate cable glands with effective IP67 / TYPE 4(X) seals for all wires.
•Unused cable entries: ensure that you fit IP67 / TYPE 4(X) plugs to maintain rating.
•A reliable ground connection for both the sensor, and if applicable, for the metal enclosure
(above).
•An effective screened cable for the input signal, and grounding of its screen to the “┴ “ terminal or
at the sensor itself, whichever is appropriate to the application.
