1. INTRODUCTION
1.1. SYSTEM DESCRIPTION
Functions and features
The function of the F114-P is to calculate, show and monitor the ratio between two flows as well as
the flow rates and the totals.
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 / alarm 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 F114-P. To power the sensor, several options are available.
Standard outputs
Max. four configurable alarm outputs: flow rate alarm, high-, low-, high-high- or low-low-flow rate
alarm. Switched as long as the flow rate is too high or too low.
Linear (0)4-20mA or 0-10V analog output to represent the actual flow rate as programmed. The
(0)4-20mA or 0-10V signal limits can be tuned.
Fig. 1: Typical application
Configuration of the unit
The F114-P is designed for use in many types of applications. For that reason, a setup menu is
available to program the F114-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_F114P_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.
Options
The following options are available: isolated or active (0)4-20mA / 0-10V analog output, 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 F114-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 flow rates, the (accumulated) total and the alarm
messages.
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 F114-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 F114-P in the background, independent from the selected display refresh rate.
Not all information can be shown at once, but first after pressing the select-key. At the bottom-left of
the display, the actual liquid number (A or B) is shown when necessary.
Fig. 3: Process information (typical)

FW_F114P_v1702_02_EN
Page 8
For the Operator, the following functions are available:
Display ratio:
This is the main display information of the F114. After selecting other information, it will return to
the main display automatically. The ratio is calculated by measuring the flow A and flow B. The
shown ratio can indicate:
-the actual flow rate of the additive compared to the flow rate of the main flow, or
-the actual flow rate of the additive compared to the total flow (summed additive + main flow).
The arrows indicate the increase/decrease of the ratio trend.
Display flow rate:
When enabled 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.
Programming the ratio alarm values
When enabled in the setup menu,
When you press the SELECT/key several times, the following ratio alarm values are shown:
low-low ratio alarm (LL): enter here 1-0.010 for example,
low ratio alarm (LO): enter here 1-0.2 for example,
high ratio alarm (HI): enter here 1-1.0 for example,
high-high ratio alarm (HH): enter here 1-1.2 for example.
To change the alarm value, the following procedure must be executed:
1. Press the PROG/ENTER key to access the submenu.
2. Use the SELECT/key to increase the digit. Use the CLEAR/key to go to the next
number.
3. Confirm the new alarm value by pressing ENTER.
If you do not press the PROG/ENTER key to confirm, your selection is not saved.
Fig. 4: Examples display information in % and 1:x during programming the high ratio value
Ratio alarm
When the actual ratio is outside the allowed range, an alarm message will be shown indicating
the type of alarm. The alarm is terminated automatically as soon as the ratio is within its range
again.
Display total:
The actual total quantity of each flowmeter is shown after pressing select several times.
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.
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
UNIT
11
This setting is used to select the engineering unit for the indication of the
differential total, total (A and B), the accumulated total (A and B), and the pulse
output.
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 (A and B).
K-FACTOR
13
The K-Factor A determines the calculation factor for the forward total !
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 (A).
3.1.3 EXPLANATION OF SETUP-MENU 2 - FLOW RATE-A
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
(A and B).
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.

FW_F114P_v1702_02_EN
Page 13
TIME
22
This setting is used to set the time unit for the flow rate calculation (A and B). 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 (A and B).
K-FACTOR
24
This setting is used to set the K-Factor for the flow rate (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.
DECIMALS K-FACTOR
25
This setting is used to set the amount of digits behind the decimal point for the
K-Factor (A).
Period
26
This setting is used to calculate the flow rate by counting the number of pulses
within a certain time, for example 1 second. The longer the time the more
accurate the flow rate will be.
This setting does influence the update time for the analog output directly. If the
output response is too slow, decrease the number of pulses.
The shorter the update time, the higher the power consumption of the unit will
be (important for battery powered applications).
3.1.4 EXPLANATION OF SETUP-MENU 3 - TOTAL-B
For Total, you can only set the K-Factor B when in the flowmeter menu the K-Factor is set to Dual.
Per default setting, the K-Factor is set to single (K-Factor A = K-Factor B). When Dual is selected,
the Total-B settings are not visible (editable). This is normal behavior.
K-FACTOR
31
K-Factor B determines the calculation factor for the reverse total !
This setting is used to set the K-Factor for the total (B). 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
32
This setting is used to set the amount of digits behind the decimal point for the
(accumulated) total indication (B).
3.1.5 EXPLANATION OF SETUP-MENU 4 - FLOW RATE-B
For Flow rate, you can only set the K-Factor B when in the flowmeter menu the K-Factor is set to
Dual. Per default setting, the K-Factor is set to single (K-Factor B = K-Factor A). When Dual is
selected, the Total-B settings are not visible (editable). This is normal behavior.
K-FACTOR
41
K-Factor B determines the calculation factor for the reverse flow rate !
This setting is used to set the K-Factor for the flow rate (B). 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
42
This setting is used to set the amount of digits behind the decimal point for the
K-Factor (B).
3.1.6 EXPLANATION OF SETUP-MENU 5 - RATIO
The definition of the ratio shown is set with this function. The ratio can be expressed as:
1) the flow rate of the "additive flow"
compared to the flow rate of the "main flow", or as
2) the flow rate of the "additive flow"
compared to the flow rate of the "total flow"
Further, it is necessary to take the position of flowmeter "A" and flowmeter "B" into account.With the
K-factor, the flowmeter pulse signals are converted to a flow rate.

FW_F114P_v1702_02_EN
Page 14
RATIO
51
The ratio is shown as a percentage (PCT) or a ratio as 1-____.
This setting also influences the analog output refl. the ratio.
FUNCTION
52
The ratio or percentage will be shown with maximum of five digits:
1 : xxxxx or 99999%.
If you have a ratio of 1:5 than two or three decimals might be required.
If you have a ratio of 1:1000, than you might prefer no decimals.
If you have a ratio of 2% than two or three decimals might be required.
If you have a ratio of 120%, than you might prefer no decimals.
DECIMALS
53
This setting is used to set the amount of digits behind the decimal point for
the ratio.
FILTER
54
This setting is used to stabilize the calculated ratio between both flows. With the
help of this digital filter a more stable but less actual representation of the flow rate
can be obtained.
The filter principal is based on three input values: the filter level (01-99), the last
calculated flow rate and the last average value. The higher the filter level, the longer
the response time on a value change will be..
3.1.7 EXPLANATION OF SETUP-MENU 6 - ALARM
These settings determine how the flow rate is monitored and how the F114-P will process the alarm
conditions. For the setup of the configurable outputs, refer to setup menu: Relays.
FLOWZERO
61
When the flow rate is zero, then it is possible to ignore or disable the flow
rate monitoring. The following settings can be selected:
DEFAULT: in case of a low-flow rate alarm and zero flow, it will switch the
alarm output and indicate the alarm on the display.
NO RELAY: in case of a low-flow rate 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-flow rate alarm and zero flow, it won't switch
the alarm output and nothing will be indicated on the display.
RATIO LL

ALARM SET
72
This setting is used to determine in which menu you can change the
alarm settings. When programmed for setup menu only, the alarm
settings in the operator menu are read-only.
LIGHT
73
The backlight brightness can be adjusted from 0% (off) to 100% (full
brightness) in steps of 20%.
When the F114-P is only loop powered, the backlight is disabled. An
external power supply is required to supply the backlight.
BL ALARM
74
This setting is used to set the behavior of the backlight (bl) during an alarm
condition.
3.1.9 EXPLANATION OF SETUP-MENU 8 - 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 F114-P has several smart power management functions to extend the battery life time
significantly. Two of these functions can be set.
LCD NEW
81
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
82
The F114-P has two modes: operational or shelf.
After "shelf" has been selected, the F114-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 F114-P again, press the SELECT/key two times.
3.1.10 EXPLANATION OF SETUP-MENU 9 - FLOWMETER
The F114-P is able to handle several types of input signal. The pickup / signal is selected with:
SETUP 91 (Input A), Read also chapter 4
SETUP 92 (Input B), Read also chapter 4.
The selections "active pulse" offer a detection level of 50% of the supply voltage.

SIGNAL B
92
The secondary signal B is used to detect the direction of flow.
In most applications, the type of signal for input B will be the same type as
the main signal A (setting 71). For selection, read setting 71.
3.1.11 EXPLANATION OF SETUP-MENU A - ANALOG OUTPUT
A linear 4-20mA signal (option AB: 0-20mA or option AU: 0-10V) output signal is generated that
represents the flow rate. The settings for the flow rate influence the analog output directly. The
relationship between the flow rate and the analog output is set with the following settings.
OUTPUT
A1
If the analog output is not used, select disable to minimize the power consumption
(e.g. save battery life-time).
Option AP: When a power supply is available but the output is disabled, a 3.5mA
signal will be generated.
OUTPUT SELECTION
A2
This setting determines if the analog output is according the actual ratio,
flow rate A or flow rate B.
ANA-MIN
A3
Enter here the flow rate at which the output should generate the minimum signal
(0)4mA or 0V - in most applications at zero flow. The number of decimals shown
depend upon setup 23. The engineering units/time (e.g. L/min) are dependent upon
setup 21 and 22.
ANA-MAX
A4
Enter here the flow rate at which the output should generate the maximum signal
(20mA or 10V) - in most applications at maximum flow. The number of decimals
shown depend upon setup 23. The engineering units/time (e.g. L/min) are dependent
upon setup 21 and 22.
CUT-OFF
A5
To ignore leakage of the flow for example, a low flow cut-off can be set as a
percentage of the full range of 16mA, 20mA or 10V.
When the flow is less than the required rate, the current will be the minimum signal
(0)4mA or 0V.
Example: Calculate the cut-off.
Rate-min: 0L/min [4mA], Rate-max: 100 L/min [16mA], Cut-off: 2%
Required rate [L/min]: (rate-max - rate-min)*cut-off: (100-0)*2%=2.0L/min
Output [mA]: rate-min + (rate-max*cut-off): 4+(16*2%)=4.32mA
TUNE-MIN
A6
The (0)4mA or 0V value can be tuned precisely with this setting. The initial minimum
analog output value is (0)4mA or 0V. However, this value might differ slightly due to
ambient influences such as temperature for example.
Before tuning the signal, make sure that the analog signal is idle (not used) for
any application!
After pressing PROG, the current will be about 4mA (0mA or 0V). The current can be
increased / decreased with the arrow keys and is directly active. Press ENTER to
store the new value.
If required, you can program the analog output 'up-side-down'. The (0)4mA or 0V
represents the maximum flow rate and the 20mA or 10V represents the minimum
flow rate.

FW_F114P_v1702_02_EN
Page 17
TUNE-MAX
A7
The 20mA or 10V value can be tuned precisely with this setting. The initial maximum
analog output value is 20mA or 10V However, this value might differ slightly due to
ambient influences such as temperature for example.
Before tuning the signal, make sure that the analog signal is idle (not used) for
any application!
After pressing PROG, the current will be about 20mA or 10V. The current can be
increased / decreased with the arrow keys and is directly active. Press ENTER to
store the new value.
If required, you can program the analog output 'up-side-down'. The (0)4mA or 0V
represents the maximum flow rate and the 20mA or 10V represents the minimum
flow rate.
FILTER
A8
This setting is used to stabilize the output signal. With the help of this digital filter a
more stable but less actual representation of the flow rate can be obtained.
The filter principal is based on three input values: the filter level (01-99), the last
