1. INTRODUCTION
1.1. SYSTEM DESCRIPTION
Functions and features
The dual flow rate / totalizer model F111-P is a microprocessor driven instrument designed to show
the flow rate, the total and the accumulated total of two completely separated flow measurement
systems.
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 and communication outputs.
Flowmeter input
This manual describes the unit with a pulse input from the flowmeter. Other versions are available to
process (0)4-20mA signals.
Two flowmeters with a passive or active pulse, Namur or sine wave (coil) signal output can be
connected to the F111-P. To power the sensor, several options are available.
Standard outputs
For each flowmeter a pulse output to transmit a pulse that represents a totalized quantity as
programmed.
Fig. 1: Typical application
Configuration of the unit
The F111-P is designed for use in many types of applications. For that reason, a setup menu is
available to program the F111-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.

FW_F111P_v1702_02_EN
Page 7
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.
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
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 F111-P . This instruction is meant for users / operators.
2.1. 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 select the information of each flow by hand.
The SELECT/key is also used to increase a value after the PROG/ENTER key has
been pressed (read chapter 3).
This key is used to reset the total.
The CLEAR/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 F111-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 F111-P in the background, independent
from the selected display refresh rate.

For the Operator, the following functions are available:
Display, for each flowmeter, flow rate / total or flow rate
This is the main display information of the F111-P. After the selection of any other information, it
will always return to this main display automatically. Total is shown on the upper line of the
display and flow rate on the bottom line. When selected in the setup menu, the display shows the
flow rate only. When you press the select key, the total shows momentarily.
When "-------" is shown, then the flow rate value is too high to be shown. The arrows indicate
the increase/decrease of the flow rate trend.
Clear total
The value for total can be reset. To do so, press the CLEAR/key twice. When the key is
pressed once, the text "PUSH CLEAR" is shown. To avoid a reset at this stage, press another
key other than the CLEAR/key or wait for 20 seconds. A reset of the total does not influence
the accumulated total.
Display accumulated total
When the SELECT/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 settings for the total.
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 A
The dual flow rate / totalizer model F111-P has two, completely separated, flowmeter inputs (A and B).
Input A and B are the same. For clarity, where applicable for flowmeter A and B, only the explanation for
flowmeter A is given.
UNIT
11
This setting is used to select the engineering unit for the indication of the total A,
the accumulated total A and the pulse output A.
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) 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
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 A 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) 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
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.
3.1.3. EXPLANATION OF SETUP MENU 2 - FLOW RATE A
The settings for total A and flow rate A are entirely separate. In this way, different engineering units
can be used for each e.g. cubic meters for total A and liters for flow rate A.
UNIT
21
This setting is used to select the engineering unit for the indication of the
flow rate A.
Alteration of the engineering unit will have consequences for
operator and setup 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 A calculation. Note that
the flow rate is given in engineering unit/time unit, e.g. liters/minute (l/min).
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
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.

FW_F111P_v1702_02_EN
Page 13
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.
3.1.4 EXPLANATION OF SETUP-MENU 3 - TOTAL-B
The dual flow rate / totalizer model F111-P has two, completely separated, flowmeter inputs (A and B).
Input A and B are the same. For clarity, where applicable for flowmeter A and B, only the explanation for
flowmeter A is given. For the explanation of the settings for total B, refer to the setup menu for total A.
3.1.5 EXPLANATION OF SETUP-MENU 4 - FLOW RATE-B
The dual flow rate / totalizer model F111-P has two, completely separated, flowmeter inputs (A and B).
Input A and B are the same. For clarity, where applicable for flowmeter A and B, only the explanation for
flowmeter A is given. For the explanation of the settings for flow rate B, refer to the setup menu for flow rate A.
3.1.6 EXPLANATION OF SETUP-MENU 5 –DISPLAY
In this setup menu the behavior of the F111-P is determined how the information is shown to the
operator. Automatically toggle between flowmeter A and flowmeter B or select the shown information
by hand.
FUNCTION
51
This setting can be set to display total or rate.
When 'total' is selected, simultaneously, total is shown with the large digits and
flow rate with the smaller digits. When SELECT is pressed, the accumulated
total is shown temporarily.
When 'rate' is selected, only flow rate will be shown with the large digits
together with its engineering unit. When SELECT is pressed, the total and the
accumulated total are shown temporarily.
LIGHT
52
The backlight brightness can be adjusted from 0% (off) to 100% (full brightness) in
steps of 20%.

This setting is used to determine if the accumulated total is shown to the operator.
This setting does not influence the measurement and related calculations.
3.1.7 EXPLANATION OF SETUP-MENU 6 - 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 F111-P has several smart power management functions to extend the battery life time
significantly. Two of these functions can be set.
LCD NEW
61
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
62
The F111-P has two modes: operational or shelf.
After "shelf" has been selected, the F111-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 F111-P again, press the SELECT/key two times.

SIGNAL B
72
This setting is used to select the signal type for flowmeter B. This setting
does not influence the setting for flowmeter A. For the explanation of the
settings for signal B, refer to the setup menu for signal A.
3.1.9. EXPLANATION OF SETUP MENU 8 - PULSE A
For each flowmeter input A and B, one transistor or mechanic relay output is available as a scaled
pulse output according to the total.
WIDTH
81
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!
DECIMALS
82
This setting is used to set the amount of digits behind the decimal point for the
amount.
AMOUNT
83
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.
3.1.9. EXPLANATION OF SETUP MENU 9 - PULSE B
The dual flow rate / totalizer model F111-P has two, completely separated, flowmeter outputs
(A and B). Output A and B are the same. For clarity, where applicable for flowmeter A and B, only the
explanation for flowmeter A is given. For the explanation of the settings for pulse B, refer to the setup menu for
pulse A.
