2.3. OPERATOR INFORMATION AND FUNCTIONS
In general, the F013-P will always act at Operator level. The information displayed is dependant
upon the SETUP-settings. The signal generated by the connected flowmeter is measured by the
F013-P 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 / total or flowrate
This is the main display information of the F013-P. After selecting any other information, it will
always return to this main display automatically.
Total is displayed on the upper-line of the display and flowrate on the bottom line.
It is possible to display flowrate only with the large 17mm digits; in this instance press the
SELECT-key to read the total.
When "-------" is shown, then the flowrate value is too high to be displayed. The arrows 
indicate the increase/decrease of the flowrate trend.
•Clear total
The value for total can be re-initialized. To do so, press CLEAR twice. After pressing CLEAR
once, the flashing text "PUSH CLEAR" is displayed. To avoid re-initialization at this stage,
press another key than CLEAR or wait for 20 seconds.
Re-initialization of total DOES NOT influence the accumulated total.
•Display accumulated total
When the SELECT-key is pressed, total and accumulated total are displayed. The
accumulated total cannot be re-initialized. The value will count up to 99,999,999,999.
The unit and number of decimals are displayed according to the configuration settings for
total.

•Programming the flowrate alarm values
Note: This function might not be accessible due to a configuration setting.
When the SELECT-key is pressed a few times, following flowrate alarm values are displayed:
-low flowrate alarm: enter here 40 L/min for example,
-high flowrate alarm: enter here 200 L/min for example,
To change the alarm value, the following procedure must be executed:
1) press PROG: the word "PROGRAM" will flash or a pass code will be requested,
2) use to select the digits and to increase that value,
3) confirm the new alarm value by pressing ENTER.
Fig. 4: Example of display information during programming minimum flowrate.
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.
•Flowrate alarm
When the actual flowrate is outside the allowed range, an alarm message will be displayed
indicating the type of alarm: "LO RATE", "HI RATE".
The alarm is terminated automatically as soon as the flowrate is within its range again.
•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 - TOTAL
MEASUREMENT UNIT
11 SETUP - 11 determines the measurement unit for total and accumulated
total. The following units can be selected:
L - m3 - kg - lb. - GAL - USGAL - bbl - _ (no unit).
Alteration of the measurement unit will have consequences for operator
and SETUP-level values.
Please note that the K-factor has to be adapted as well; the calculation is
not done automatically.
DECIMALS
12 The decimal point determines for total and accumulated total the number
of digits following the decimal point. The following can be selected:
0000000 - 111111.1 - 22222.22 - 3333.333
K-FACTOR
13 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 measurement unit (SETUP 11), for example per
cubic meter. The more accurate the K-factor, the more accurate the
functioning of the system will be.
Example 1: Calculating the K-factor.
Let us assume that the flowmeter generates 2.4813 pulses per
liter and the selected unit is "cubic meters / m3". A cubic meter
consists of 1000 parts of one liter which implies 2,481.3 pulses
per m3. So, the K-factor is 2,481.3. Enter for SETUP - 13:
"2481300" and for SETUP - 14 - decimals K-factor "3".
Example 2: Calculating the K-factor.
Let us assume that the flowmeter generates 6.5231 pulses per
gallon and the selected measurement unit is gallons. So, the K-
Factor is 6.5231. Enter for SETUP - 13: "6523100" and for
SETUP - 14 decimals K-factor "6".
DECIMALS K-FACTOR
14 This setting determines the number of decimals for the K-factor entered.
(SETUP 13). The following can be selected:
0 - 1 - 2 - 3 - 4 - 5 - 6
Please note that this setting influences the accuracy of the K-factor
indirectly. (i.e. the position of the decimal point and thus the value given)
This setting has NO influence on the displayed number of digits for total
(SETUP 12)!

HF013PEN_v0402_03 Atex_IECEx_CSA_FM
Page 14
2 - FLOWRATE
The settings for total and flowrate are entirely separate. In this way, different units of measurement
can be used for each e.g. cubic meters for total and liters for flowrate.
The display update time for flowrate is one second or more.
Note: these settings also influence the alarm output functions.
MEASUREMENT UNIT
21 SETUP - 21 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 K-factor has to be adapted as well; the calculation is
not done automatically.
TIME UNIT
22 The flowrate can be calculated per second (SEC), minute (MIN), hour
(HR) or day (DAY).
DECIMALS
23 This setting determines for flowrate the number of digits following the
decimal point. The following can be selected:
00000 - 1111.1 - 2222.22 - 3333.333
K-FACTOR
24 With the K-factor, the flowmeter pulse signals are converted to a flowrate.
The K-factor is based on the number of pulses generated by the
flowmeter per selected measurement unit (SETUP 21), for example per
liter. The more accurate the K-factor, the more accurate the functioning of
the system will be. For examples read SETUP 13.
DECIMALS K-FACTOR
25 This setting determines the number of decimals for the K-factor
(SETUP 24). The following can be selected:
0 - 1 - 2 - 3 - 4 - 5 - 6
Please note that this SETUP - influences the accuracy of the K-factor
indirectly.
This setting has NO influence on the displayed number of digits for
"flowrate" (SETUP 23)!
CALCULATION
26 The flowrate is calculated by measuring the time between a number of
pulses, for example 10 pulses. The more pulses the more accurate the
flowrate will be. The maximum value is 255 pulses.
Note: this setting does influence the update time for the analog output
directly (maximum update 10 times a second). If the output response is
too slow, decrease the number of pulses.
Note: the lower the number of pulses, the higher the power consumption
of the unit will be (important for battery powered applications).
Note: for low frequency applications (below 10Hz): do not program more
than 10 pulses else the update time will be very slow.
Note: for high frequency application (above 1kHz) do program a value of
100 or more pulses.
CUT-OFF TIME
27 With this setting, you determine a minimum flow requirement thresh-hold,
if during this time less than XXX-pulses (SETUP 26) are generated, the
flowrate will be displayed as zero.
The cut-off time has to be entered in seconds - maximum time is 999
seconds (about 15 minutes).

HF013PEN_v0402_03 Atex_IECEx_CSA_FM
Page 15
3 - ALARM
With these settings, it is determined how the flowrate will be monitored and the functionality of the
transistor / relay output (terminals 7-8) be determined.
FLOW ZERO
31 When the flowrate is zero, then it is possible to ignore or disable the
flowrate monitoring. The following settings can be selected:
DEFAULT: in case of a low-flowrate alarm and zero flow, it will switch
the alarm output and indicate the alarm on the display.
NO RELAY: in case of a low-flowrate alarm and zero flow, it won't
switch the alarm output but will indicate the alarm on the
display only.
IGNORE: in case of a low-flowrate alarm and zero flow, it won't
switch the alarm output and nothing will be indicated on
the display.
ALARM VALUE
LOW FLOWRATE
32
The low alarm is set with this setting. An alarm will be generated as long
as the flowrate lower as this value.
With value 0.0 this function is disabled.
ALARM VALUE
HIGH FLOWRATE
33
The high alarm is set with this setting. An alarm will be generated as long
as the flowrate higher as this value.
With value 0.0 this function is disabled.
DELAY TIME ALARM
LOW FLOWRATE
34
An alarm generated by SETUP 32 “low” can be ignored during X-time
period. If the actual flowrate is still incorrect after this delay time, then an
alarm will be generated.
DELAY TIME ALARM
HIGH FLOWRATE
35
An alarm generated by SETUP 33 “high” can be ignored during X-time
period. If the actual flowrate is still incorrect after this delay time, then an
alarm will be generated.
ALARM OUTPUT
TRANSISTOR / RELAY
36
One transistor or relay output is available to transmit the alarm condition.
Assign with this function the type of alarm to be transmitted:
low flowrate alarm, high flowrate alarm or both alarms.
4 - DISPLAY

When used with the internal battery option, the user can expect reliable measurement over a long
period of time. The F013-P has several smart power management functions to extend the battery life
time significantly. Two of these functions can be set:
LCD NEW
51 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; every pulse will be
counted and the output signal will be generated in the normal way.
The following can be selected:
Fast - 1 sec - 3 sec - 15 sec - 30 sec - off.
Example battery life-time:
life-time with a coil pick-up, 1kHz. pulses and FAST update: about 2 years.
life-time with a coil pick-up, 1kHz. pulses and 1sec 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

4.1. GENERAL DIRECTIONS
Mounting, electrical installation, start-up and maintenance of this instrument may only
be carried out by trained personnel authorized by the operator of the facility. Personnel
must read and understand this Operating Manual before carrying out its instructions.
The F013-P may only be operated by personnel who are authorized and trained by the
operator of the facility. All instructions in this manual are to be observed.
Ensure that the measuring system is correctly wired up according to the wiring
diagrams. Protection against accidental contact is no longer assured when the housing
cover is removed or the panel cabinet has been opened (danger from electrical shock).
The housing may only be opened by trained personnel.
Take careful notice of the " Safety rules, instructions and precautionary measures " at
the front of this manual.
4.2. INSTALLATION / SURROUNDING CONDITIONS
Take the relevant IP classification of the casing into account (see manufactures plate). Even an IP67
(NEMA 4X) casing should NEVER be exposed to strongly varying (weather) conditions.
When panel-mounted, the unit is IP65 (NEMA 4)!
When used in very cold surroundings or varying climatic conditions, take the necessary precautions
against moisture by placing a dry sachet of silica gel, for example, inside the instrument case.
Mount the F013-P on a solid structure to avoid vibrations.
