3 INTRODUCTION
3.1 SYSTEM DESCRIPTION
The flowrate indicator / totalizer model E018-P (also referred to as a unit) is an explosion proof
microprocessor-driven instrument designed to linearize the flowmeter’s flow curve and to show the
current flowrate, the totalized flow and the accumulated totalized flow.
Fig.1: The E018-P
This manual describes the daily use, configuration and installation of the standard unit (with pulse
input from a flowmeter) and its available options. The following figure shows the E018-P used in a
typical application.

3.2 PRODUCT FEATURES
The main features of the unit are:
● User-friendliness: optical keys for through-the-glass operation (no need to touch the glass or
remove the cover).
● Bright backlight enables good readings in full sunlight and darkness.
● Usability: wide operational temperature, high ingress protection rating and international
certification.
● PC configuration software making configuration quick and easy.
● Rugged design for harsh environments: not just designed to be explosion proof.
● Aluminum enclosure with high quality industrial two component coating or stainless steel 316L
enclosure for offshore applications.
● Mounting flexibility: multiple solutions for sensor mounting, including 1” NPT or M25 bottom
entry; suitable for wall or pipe mount applications.
● Installation friendly design: spacious cabling area, plug and play cable connection and easy to
remove electronic module.
● Ability to process any type of sensor signal.
● Multiple power supply options to suit any application, including long-life battery supply.
● Configurable pulse and analog signal outputs and (optional) HART communication for
configuring unit and monitoring process.
Standard inputs
● One flowmeter with a passive or active pulse, NAMUR or coil signal output can be connected to
the E018-P. Several options are available for powering the sensor.
● Status input to reset total remotely or to lock the ‘clear total’ key.
Standard outputs
● Configurable pulse output to transmit pulses representing a certain linearized total quantity. The
pulse length can be set as desired with a maximum frequency of 500Hz for outputs R1 and R2,
and 4Hz for outputs R3 and R4.
● Unscaled frequency output for retransmission of the incoming pulses as robust square wave
forms.
● Configurable linear 4-20mA isolated analog output with 12-bits resolution representing the actual
flowrate. Flowrate levels and the minimum and maximum signal output can be tuned.
● Up to 4 configurable alarm outputs: flowrate alarm, high-, low-, high-high- or low-low-flowrate
alarm. Switched as long as the flowrate is too high or too low.
Control panel
The unit is equipped with a control panel with three optical keys and a large backlit Liquid Cristal
Display (LCD) with various symbols and digits to display/control measurement units, status
information, trend-indication, and key-word messages.
Configuration
The unit can be used for many types of application and has both a SETUP mode as well as a PC
connection for configuring it to your requirements. It includes several important features, such as
K‑Factor, measurement units and signal selection.
All settings are stored in an EEPROM memory so they will not be lost if there is a power failure or
the battery is drained. For information on how to extend the battery life, consult Section 5.2.4: Saving
battery lifetime (type PB)[»17].
Options
Available options are:
● power and sensor supply
● mechanical relay

4 OPERATION
This unit may only be operated by authorized and trained personnel who have read and understood
this manual, particularly Section 2: Safety[»5].
4.1 INTRODUCTION
This chapter describes the daily use and operation of the E018-P. For this, the unit is equipped with
a control panel that provides the operator with various functions, information and operating modes.
4.1.1 OPERATING MODES
The following operating mode are available:
●OPERATOR-mode
This is the default mode of operation and mode indicator
RUN
is shown on the display. This
mode is available for all operators and gives access to most other modes. The available
functions and rights depend on the type of unit and configured settings. The unit will always
return to this mode when there is no user interaction for some time in any of the other modes.
●LOG-mode
When the unit is equipped with a logging function (like historical day totals), this mode is used to
access the logged data. The mode indicator LOG is shown on the display and, depending on the
type of unit, functions like logbook-selection and printing become available.
●SETUP-mode
This mode allows to review all configuration settings using a SETUP-menu. The mode indicator
SETUP
is shown on the display and access can be restricted via a password. After selecting a
configuration item, it can be changed using the PROGRAM-mode.
●PROGRAM-mode
This mode is used to change settings in the SETUP-menu, enter values in OPERATOR-mode or
enter a password. When a setting is being changed, this is indicated by the mode indicator
PROG
on the display.
The following paragraphs describe the modes of operation in more detail. SETUP-mode and
PROGRAM-mode are described in Section 5: Configuration[»15].
4.2 CONTROL PANEL
The control panel is located on the front side of the E-Series and consists of the following parts:
● A Liquid Cristal Display (LCD) to show process values and various other information.
● Three optical keys (PROG, SELECT, CLEAR) to control the unit during operation.
● A backlight to illuminate the display.
When the front cover is removed (only during service in non-hazardous area), the following parts
also become available:
● The Main Electronics Module (MEM)
● Three mechanical keys to control the unit during service.
● A switch to completely disable the optical keys.
These parts are explained in Section 5.2: Operating the Main Electronics Module (MEM)[»15].
Explosion risk: never open the housing when explosive atmosphere is present.
Opening and servicing of the unit may only be carried out by authorized and trained personnel who
have read and understood this manual, particularly Section 2: Safety[»5].
4.2.1 DISPLAY
Inside the E018-P, all inputs (such as sensors and switches) and outputs (such as relays and
current loop) are continuously processed in the background. The relevant process information is
then displayed on a selection of screens when the unit is in OPERATOR-mode.
Normally, the information shown on the display is updated depending on the refresh rate selected in
the configuration settings. However, by pressing any of the keys, the display switches to refreshing
the information 8 times per second. After 30 seconds of key inactivity, the display returns to the
configured refresh rate.

User Manual E018-P
Page 10 FW_E018-P_M_v0301-01_EN
The display contains one line with large digits at the top and one line with small digits at the bottom.
The top line is mainly used to display key process information, while the bottom line usually displays
less important information or system messages.
Both lines are surrounded by various symbols to indicate operating mode, function, status and
measurement unit. The following image shows this in more detail:

4.2.2 OPTICAL KEYS
The optical keys are used to control the unit ‘through the glass’ without the need to open the
enclosure. To activate an optical key, position a finger (clean and without gloves) in front of the glass
above the indicated area for PROG, SELECT or CLEAR. Correct key operation will result in the
activation indicator to show on the display. After the indicator is shown, the finger can be
removed and the selected key ‘is pushed’.
The optical keys only work reliably when the glass is clean. Try to avoid actually touching the glass
as this could leave smudges. Clean the glass regularly with a lint free cloth dampened with (soapy)
water.
False activation or bad responses of the optical keys can also be caused by:
● Dirt, grease or dust on the glass.
● Shiny surfaces positioned up to 100 mm (4 inches) in front of the display.
Key lock function
To prevent any erroneous operations due to false optical key activation, a key lock function is
implemented. When the function is enabled (default), the optical keys are automatically locked if no
optical key is activated for 30 seconds.
● False optical key activations can cause erroneous operation and reduce the battery lifetime
significantly. Therefore, it is advised to keep the key lock function enabled.
● When battery powered, the backlight will only come on after the unlock sequence is finished.
