1. INTRODUCTION
1.1. SYSTEM DESCRIPTION
Functions and features
The delivery controller / dispenser model F133-P is a microprocessor driven instrument designed for
the delivery of unknown quantities as well as displaying the flow rate, the delivered total and the
delivered 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),
ability to process all types of flowmeter signals;
transmitting possibilities with analog, pulse and communication outputs;
several mounting possibilities with GRP or aluminum enclosures for industrial surroundings.
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 F133-P. To power the sensor, several options are available.
Standard outputs
Two transistor or relay (option) outputs: to control a pump and a valve. All kind of switch
conditions can be set to optimize the process control.
Fig. 1: Typical application
Configuration of the unit
The F133-P is designed for use in many types of applications. For that reason, a setup menu is
available to program the F133-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.

FW_F133P_v1702_02_EN

Options
The following options are available: full Modbus communication RS232/485/TTL (also battery
powered), intrinsic safety, mechanical relay or active output, power- and sensor-supply options,
panel -mount, wall-mount and weather-proof enclosures, flame proof enclosure and LED backlight.
2. OPERATIONAL
2.1. GENERAL
This device may only be operated by persons who are authorized and trained by the
operator of the facility. All instructions in this manual are to be observed.
Take careful notice of the "Safety rules, instructions and precautionary measures" in the
front of this manual.
This chapter describes the daily use of the F133-P . This instruction is meant for users / operators.
2.2. CONTROL PANEL
The control panel has three keys. The available keys are:
Fig. 2: Control Panel
Functions of the keys
This key is used to program and save new values or settings.
The PROG/ENTER key is also used to gain access to the setup menu (read
chapter 3).
This key is used to START the dispense process.
The START/key is also used to increase a value after the PROG/ENTER key has
been pressed (read chapter 3).
This key is used to pause or stop the dispense process.
The STOP/key is also used to select the batch total, the batch counter, the total
and the accumulated total.
The STOP/key is also used to select a digit or an option after the PROG/ENTER
key has been pressed (read chapter 3).
2.3. OPERATOR INFORMATION AND FUNCTIONS
In general, the F133-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 F133-P in the background, independent
from the selected display refresh rate.
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.

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: Pause information (typical)
When "READY" is shown, 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 shown.
First press PROG followed by STOP. After pressing PROG, the text "PUSH STOP" is shown.
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:
Flow rate alarm:
When the actual flow rate is outside the allowed range (as set in the setup menu), the delivery
will be paused automatically and an alarm message will be shown 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
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.

3.1.2. EXPLANATION OF SETUP MENU 1 - TOTAL
UNIT
11
This setting is used to select the engineering unit for the indication of the batch
total and the accumulated total.
When you change the engineering unit, you must recalculate and
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.
DECIMALS
12
This setting is used to set the amount of digits behind the decimal point for the
(accumulated) total indication.
K-FACTOR
13
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.
DECIMALS K-FACTOR
14
This setting is used to set the amount of digits behind the decimal point for the
K-Factor.
BATCH MAX
15
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.
BATCH TOTAL
16
Batch total - also shown 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

Batch count - also shown 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
3.1.3. EXPLANATION OF SETUP MENU 2 - FLOW RATE
The settings for total and flow rate are entirely separate. In this way, different engineering units can
be used for each e.g. cubic meters for total and liters for flow rate.
UNIT
21
This setting is used to select the engineering unit for the indication of the flow rate.
Alteration of the engineering unit will have consequences for
operator and SETUP-level values, they will not be automatically
recalculated to the value of the new selected unit. The K-factor has
to be adapted as well; the calculation is not done automatically.
TIME
22
This setting 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. liters/minute (l/min).
When you change this setting, also recalculate and change the settings
for the analog rate-min and analog rate-max.
DECIMALS
23
This setting is used to set the amount of digits behind the decimal point for the
flow rate indication.
K-FACTOR
24
This setting is used to set the K-Factor for the flow rate. 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

FW_F133P_v1702_02_EN
Page 14
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.
DECIMALS K-FACTOR
25
This setting is used to set the amount of digits behind the decimal point for the
K-Factor.
CALCULATION
26
The flow rate is calculated by measuring the time between a number of
pulses, for example 10 pulses. The more pulses the more accurate the
flow rate will be. The maximum value is 255 pulses.
This setting does influence the update interval for the flow rate and
thus, indirectly the update interval of the analog output.. (maximum
update 10 times a second). If the output response is too slow, decrease
the number of pulses. For low frequency applications (< 10Hz): do not
program more than 10 pulses, else the update time will be very slow.
For high frequency applications (> 1kHz): do program 50 or more pulses.
CUT-OFF
27
This setting is used to set the threshold for a minimum flow. If during this
time less than XXX-pulses are generated (refer to Calculation), the flow
rate will be shown as zero. The cut-off has to be entered in seconds.
LOW FLOW RATE
ALARM
28
This setting is used to activate the related alarm condition and to set the
threshold value for a this flow alarm. The setting 0.0 disables this alarm.
HIGH FLOW RATE
ALARM
29
This setting is used to activate the related alarm condition and to set the
threshold value for a this flow alarm. The setting 0.0 disables this alarm.
DELAY TIME ALARM
2A
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.
3.1.3. EXPLANATION OF SETUP MENU 3 - DISPLAY
LIGHT
33
The backlight brightness can be adjusted from 0% (off) to 100% (full
brightness) in steps of 20%.
When the F133-P is only loop powered, the backlight is disabled. An
external power supply is required to supply the backlight.
BL ALARM
34
This setting is used to set the behavior of the backlight (bl) during an alarm
condition.
3.1.4. EXPLANATION OF SETUP MENU 4 - 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 F113-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 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.
BATTERY MODE
42
The F113-P has two modes: operational or shelf.
After "shelf" has been selected, the F113-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 F113-p again, press the select/key two times.

3.1.6. EXPLANATION OF SETUP MENU 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 (61), 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-flow rate 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”, “flow rate 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.

FW_F133P_v1702_02_EN
Page 16
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.
3.1.7. EXPLANATION OF SETUP MENU 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
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.

4.4. INSTALLING THE HARDWARE
Electro static discharge does inflict irreparable damage to electronics! Before installing or
opening the F133-P , the installer has to discharge himself by touching a well-grounded
object.
Do ground the aluminum enclosure properly as indicated. 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 F133-P .
Chapter 5 gives additional specific information regarding Intrinsically safe installation and
overrules the information given in this chapter.
4.4.1. GENERAL INSTALLATION GUIDELINES
In the F133-P , different types of bonding and earthing are used. The common (ground) is mostly
used for termination of the wire shields and the Protective Earth (PE) is used for electrical safety.
The F133-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: make sure 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.
