upon the SETUP-settings. The signal generated by the connected flowmeter is measured by the
F010-U 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.
Fig. 3: Example of display information during process.
For the Operator, the following functions are available:
▪Display flowrate
This is the main display information of the F010-U. After selecting any other information, it will
always return to this main display automatically.
When "-------" is shown, then the flowrate value is too high to be displayed.
▪Pie graph indication
This 10 segment Pie graph gives a quick impression about the actual value in relation to its
measuring range in a scale of 0-100%.
▪Low-battery alarm
When the battery voltage drops, it must be replaced. At first "low-battery" will flash, but as
soon as it is displayed continuously, the battery MUST be replaced shortly after!
Only original batteries supplied by the manufacturer may be used, else the guarantee and
liability will be terminated. The remaining lifetime after the first moment of indication is
generally several days up to some weeks.

3.2.3. EXPLANATION OF SETUP-FUNCTIONS
1 - FLOWRATE
The display update time for flowrate is one second or more.
MEASUREMENT UNIT
11
SETUP - 11 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.
Alteration of the measurement unit will have consequences for operator
and SETUP-level values.
Please note that the Span has to be adapted as well; the calculation is not
done automatically.
TIME UNIT
12
The flowrate can be calculated per second (SEC), minute (MIN), hour
(HR) or day (DAY).
DECIMALS
13
This setting determines for displayed flowrate and Span (setting 14) the
number of digits following the decimal point. The following can be
selected:
00000 - 1111.1 - 222.22 - 333.333 - 4.4444 - .55555
SPAN
14
With the span, the flowmeter signal is converted to a quantity.
The span for flowrate is determined on the basis of the selected
measurement unit, decimals and time unit at 10V.
The more accurate the span, the more accurate the functioning of the
system will be:
Example 1 Calculating the span for flowrate
Let us assume that the flowmeter generates 10V at a
flowrate of 2,481.3 Liters/minute, the selected unit is
"Liters" and time unit "minute".
The span is 2481.3
Enter for SETUP - 14: "248130" and for SETUP - 13 -
decimals "2".
Example 2 Calculating the span for flowrate
Let us assume that the flowmeter generates 10V at a rate
of 652.31 USGAL per hour, the selected unit is USG and
the time unit is minute.
The span is 652.31 / 60 minutes is 10.87183 (GPM).
Enter for SETUP - 14: "10872" and for SETUP - 13 "3".

BARGRAPH
21
The bar graph (pie graph) displayed at operator level is percentage-wise
related to the input signal: minimum signal is 0% (setup 44) and maximum
signal is 100% (setup 45).
With this function, the bar graph can be enabled / disabled.
Following selections are available:
OFF - ON
The functions below will only effect the optional LED-backlight.
BACKLIGHT
(OPTION)
22
If a LED backlight has been supplied, the color can be selected.
Following selections are available:
OFF - GREEN - AMBER
BRIGHTNESS
(OPTION)
23
The density of the backlight can be set in following range:
1 - 5
One is minimum and five is maximum brightness.
3 - POWER MANAGEMENT
When used with the internal battery option, the user can expect reliable measurement over a long
period of time. The F010-U has several smart power management functions to extend the battery life
time significantly. Two of these functions can be set:
LCD NEW
31
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; the input signal will be
processed and the output signal will be generated in the normal way.
The following can be selected:
Fast - 1 sec - 3 sec - 15 sec - off.
Example battery life-time:
battery life-time with a FAST update: about 3 years.
battery life-time with a 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
32
The unit has two modes: operational or shelf.
After "shelf" has been selected, the unit can be stored for several years; it
will not process the sensor signal; the display is switched off but all
settings are stored. In this mode, power consumption is extremely low.
To wake up the unit again, press the SELECT-key twice.

FW-F010-U-M_v0403_04_EN.docx
Page 14
4 - FLOWMETER
SIGNAL
41
The F010-U can process the 0-10V signal in two ways:
▪Interpolation: the signal is processed linear
R = S x I
▪Square root: for differential pressure
R = S √I
where:
R =Rate: the calculated flowrate
S = Span: the maximum flowrate at 10V. The span is programmed
with setting 14.
I = Input: the scaled analog value; in these formulas value 0 (zero)
for 0V and value 1 (one) for 10V.
FILTER
42
The analog output signal of a flowmeter does mirror the actual flow. This
signal is measured several times a second by the F010-U. The value
measured is a "snap-shot" of the real flow as it will be fluctuating. With the
help of this digital filter a stable and accurate reading can be obtained
while the filter level can be set to a desired value.
The filter principal is based on three input values: the filter level (01-99),
the last measured analog value and the last average value. The higher
the filter level, the longer the response time on a value change will be.
Below, several filter levels with their response times are indicated:

CUT-OFF
43
To ignore e.g. leakage of the flow or vibration, a low-flow cut-off can be
set as percentage over the full range of 10V. When the analog value is
less than required with this setting, the signal will be ignored.
The cut-off value can be programmed is the range 0.0 - 99.9%.

4.4. INSTALLING THE HARDWARE
4.4.1. INTRODUCTION
▪
▪Electro static discharge does inflict irreparable damage to electronics! Before installing or
opening the unit, the installer has to discharge himself by touching a well-grounded object.
▪
▪This unit must be installed in accordance with the EMC guidelines (Electro Magnetic
Compatibility).
▪
▪Do ground the aluminum casing properly as indicated, if the F010-U has been supplied with
the 115-230V AC power-supply type PM. The green / yellow wire between the back-casing
and removable terminal-block may never be removed.
Fig. 7: Grounding aluminum enclosure with option PM 115-230V AC.
FOR INSTALLATION, PAY EMPHATIC ATTENTION TO:
▪Separate cable glands with effective IP67 (NEMA4X) seals for all wires.
▪Unused cable entries: ensure that you fit IP67 (NEMA4X) plugs to maintain rating.
▪A reliable ground connection for both the sensor, and if applicable, for the metal casing. (above)
▪An effective screened cable for the input signal, and grounding of it’s screen to the “┴“ terminal
or at the sensor itself, whichever is appropriate to the application.
