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

Page 7

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.

RUN

FW_F133P_v1702_02_EN

Page 8

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

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

This setting is used to set the amount of digits behind the decimal point for the

(accumulated) total indication.

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.

DECIMALS K-FACTOR

This setting is used to set the amount of digits behind the decimal point for the

K-Factor.

BATCH MAX

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

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

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

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

This setting is used to set the amount of digits behind the decimal point for the

flow rate indication.

K-FACTOR

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

This setting is used to set the amount of digits behind the decimal point for the

K-Factor.

CALCULATION

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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.

3.1.8. EXPLANATION OF SETUP MENU 8 - COMMUNICATION (OPTION)

COMM. LOCK

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

Communication variables)

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.
