Mode 3 Hysteresis Band between SP1 & SP2
This mode enables the Hysteresis function. In order for Hysteresis to function, SP2 must be set to a value greater than SP1, and SP2 should be
selected as High (h) Setpoint (See page 7). When these conditions are met, and Mode 3 is selected, then a Hysteresis band is created for the
SP1 relay, with the upper limit of SP2 and the lower limit of SP1. SP2 relay continues to operate normally.
• For a tank filling application SP1 is set to a Low (L) Setpoint. SP1 relay can control a pump that fills the tank
With Mode 3 selected, SP1 relay activates for inputs less than the SP1 level. Once activated, SP1 relay will
stay ON until the tank is filled to the SP2 level.
• For a tank emptying application SP1 is set to a High (h) Setpoint. SP1 can control a pump that empties the
tank. With Mode 3 selected, SP1 relay activates for inputs greater than the SP2 level. Once activated, SP1
relay will stay ON until the tank is emptied to the SP1 level.

Meters with QUICKSET PROGRAMMING feature a unique, easy-to-use, two point scaling and calibration system.
Scaling or calibration is accomplished simply, by applying a zero or low input signal and adjusting the bar to the desired
reading, using the ZERO button. A higher input signal is then applied, and the bar is adjusted to the desired reading for
that input value, using the SPAN button.
IMPORTANT DETAILS THAT MAKE QUICKSET PROGRAMMING EASY TO USE AND UNDERSTAND
1. The zero and span buttons are functionally the same, except as follows: The ZERO button can initiate a scaling with
input signals from zero to 95% of fullscale.The Span button can initiate a scaling with input signals from 5% of fullscale
to 105% of fullscale.
2. When a Zero or Span button is pressed, the Up or Down indicator LED will immediately light up to show the direction,
in which the Bar will move, after a 0.5 second delay. If the button is released and pressed again, the opposite Up
or down indicator will light up, and 0.5 seconds later the Bar will begin to move in that direction until the button is
released. When the bar is being adjusted to zero or fullscale, the bar will automatically stop at the zero or fullscale
position, and will not overshoot these positions, even if the button continues to be pressed.
3. While the bar is being adjusted, a new offset and scale factor is continuously being calculated. At the moment the
button is released, and the scaling is accepted, the calculation data is memorized and implemented. The Scaling cal-
culation is based on the new position of the Bar, the input signal being applied at that moment, and the previously
memorized position of the Bar and the input signal that was being applied, when the other button was last released.
4. Positive and negative signals maybe integrated into a two point scaling. However when either a ZERO or SPAN but-
ton is pressed the input signal being applied, must be more than 5% higher or lower than the previously memorized
value of the input signal, that was being applied when the other button was last released. If not, the bar will flash, the
scaling will not be accepted, and the previous scaling will still be retained in memory.
5. Because of the requirement, that a new scaling input signal must be 5% higher or lower than the previously stored
value, it can sometimes be difficult to implement a desired scaling, particularly when using a calibrator that only has
fixed output values. In this case Reset the Scaling by pressing the ZERO and SPAN buttons simultaneously for two
seconds. Both scaling memories will be erased and an internal default scale factor will be loaded. This provides a
display of zero to fullscale on the bar for an input of approximately 0 to 100% of the range selected on the input signal
conditioning module. After Resetting the Scaling a new calibration, using either button, can be implemented with new
input signal values. It is good practice to always use the zero button for lower input signals and the span button for
higher input signals, even when the bar display scale is inversed.
6. The larger the difference between two points used for calibration, the better the accuracy. However if the difference is
too high, and the output from the input signal conditioning module is greater than +2.1VDC, or less than -1.05VDC,
the bar will flash over range. The calibration will not then be accepted and, the previous scaling will still be retained
in memory. In this case, either a lower input signal must be used, or a higher range on the input module should be
selected to recalibrate the meter.
Note: Most input signal conditioners have provisions for analog calibration and scaling. If the meter’s scale factor is
set to read zero with a zero input (shorted input), and to read 10 Bars fullscale with a 2.000 V input, any pre-calibrated
signal conditioner with an output that does not exceed – 1 V to + 2 V, will read correctly in the meter without any further
calibration.
Two Point Quickset Scaling and Calibration

Texmate, Inc. Tel. [phone] • www.texmate.comPage 6 FL-B101Q-HZ_manual (d0059)
Note: To calibrate the bargraph you must be able to input two input signals. Usually the minimum
input (LO Input) and the maximum input (HI Input) signals are used for optimum accuracy. However
a scaling can be accomplished with any two signals that are higher or lower than each other by more
than 5% of fullscale and are not greater than +2.1VDC or less than -1.05VDC.
STEP C SET THE LOW INPUT SIGNAL READING ON THE BAR
1) Apply the LO input signal (4ma in this example) to the input pins.
2) Using the ZERO button adjust the bar down to the required position.
STEP D SET THE HIGH INPUT SIGNAL READING ON THE BAR
1) Apply the high input signal (20mA in this example) to the input pins.
Using the SPAN button adjust the bar to the required position.
This position could be higher or lower than the position adjusted in
Step 2. The scaling for an input of 4 to 20mA is now complete.

Standard Display Mode Calibration Procedure
One Point Quickset Rescaling and Calibration Procedure
ONE POINT RECALIBRATION
As explained earlier, the FL-B101Q bargraph is calibrated using two point calibration. Once a bargraph is calibrated, the
low end of the range may be then recalibrated without affecting the calibration of the high end, and vice versa.
For example, take an FL-B101Q that has been calibrated to read zero to full scale for an input of 4 to
20mA. If now the scaling has to be changed to read zero to full scale for an input of 0 to 20mA, only
the low (4 mA) end needs to be recalibrated. The high (20 mA) end of the scaling is left untouched,
and so does not change. The following one point recalibration procedure is used for this purpose.
STEP A RECALIBRATE THE LOW INPUT SIGNAL READING ON THE BAR
1) Apply the LO input signal (0ma in this example) to the input pins.
The first segment will flash, indicating an under range condition.
2) Using the ZERO button adjust the bar up to the required position.
3) The FL-B101Q has now been recalibrated to read zero to fullscale
for a 0 to 20 mA input.

STEP A REVIEW THE INPUT MODULE STATUS
1) Confirm that the correct range and input is selected on the input signal con-
ditioning module.
Note: When undertaking an initial set up and primary scaling and calibration of the meter
it is best to start with a reset of the scaling.
STEP B RESET THE SCALING
1)Apply power to the meter and press the ZERO and SPAN buttons simultaneously for
2 seconds. This erases any previously memorized scalings, and resets the scaling to
the factory default, of approximately zero to full scale, for an input, that is 0 to 100% of
the range selected on the input signal conditioner.
Standard or Center Zero Display Mode may be selected, depending on the Operating Mode selected. If
the standard display mode is not already selected open the meter case as showing on page 4 and move the
jumper clips on the display mode select header to the OFF position.

Setpoint Adjust
The bargraph has the option to have up to 4 setpoints (two 9A Form C relays and two 4A Form A relays) installed. Each relay may
be set to activate either above or below its setpoint by inserting jumper clips on the Relay Activation header which is located on the
Display Driver Board. See the layout diagram on Page 4 for the exact location. The steps to setup the setpoints are as follows:
1) SELECT THE RELAY ACTIVATION MODE FOR EACH INSTALLED RELAY
Make sure that the required relays have been installed in the meter. Refer to the component layout on Page 11 for relay posi-
tions. If a jumper clip is installed in a specific relay position on the Relay Activation Mode Header, that relay will activate when
the display bar is lower that the programmed setpoint. If no jumper clip is installed in a specific relay position on the Relay
Activation Mode Header, that relay will activate when the display bar is equal to or higher that the programmed setpoint. The
Diagrams below show some of the various possibilities for relay activation.
Default
SP1, SP2, SP3, and SP4 all activate when input is equal to or higher than set point.
SP2 and SP4 activate when input is lower than set point. SP1 and SP3 activate when input
is equal to or higher than set point.

2) ADJUST THE SETPOINT FOR EACH RELAY
The setpoint for each relay is set by the front panel buttons marked SP1, SP2, SP3 and
SP4. When a front panel button is pressed and held down, the associated setpoint is directly
changed. The direction of change will be either up or down, as indicated by the UP and DOWN
indicator LEDs. After the indicator LED lights up there is a 0.5 second delay before any change
occurs. To reverse the direction of change, release the button and then press down again. As
there are no menus or sub-menus to navigate, the programming and setup is quick and easy.
Setpoints are indicated on the bar display by an ON segment if the bar is below the setpoint
and with an OFF segment if the bar display is above the setpoint.

To comply with the latest safety requirements, the tri-color bargraph is designed like a traffic light, to
display either red, orange or green, but only one color at a time. When the bar reaches a selected
color change point, the entire bar will change to the color designated for that zone. This eliminates
any ambiguity as to the signal status, especially just after transitioning to a new zone.
However, if two or more setpoints with differently specified colors are positioned at the same set point
value, the color specified for the set point with the highest identifying number will be displayed. When
set points are set to the same value, the SP4 color overrides the SP3 color, the SP3 color overrides
the SP2 color, and the SP2 color overrides the SP1 color.
STEP A ENTER COLOR SET MODE
Hold down ALL four setpoint buttons (SP1, SP2, SP3 and SP4) and apply power to the
meter. The meter will light up in the Color Set Mode. Release all the setpoint buttons.
STEP B SELECT COLOR FOR BAR ABOVE SETPOINT 1
Hold down the SP1 button. The color of the bar segments below SP1 will cycle between red,
green and orange. Release the SP1 button when the bar is the required color. Now
Whenever the bar is above the SP1 level it will be this color. When the bar is below the SP1
level it will always be red.
STEP C SELECT COLOR FOR BAR ABOVE SETPOINT 2
Hold down the SP2 button. The color of the bar segments below SP2 will cycle between red,
green and orange. Release the SP2 button when the bar is the required color. Now
whenever the bar is above the SP2 level it will be this color.
STEP D SELECT COLOR FOR BAR ABOVE SETPOINT 3
Hold down the SP3 button. The color of the bar segments below SP3 will cycle between red,
green and orange. Release the SP3 button when the bar is the required color. Now
whenever the bar is above the SP3 level it will be this color.
STEP E SELECT COLOR FOR BAR ABOVE SETPOINT 4
Hold down the SP4 button. The color of the bar segments below SP4 will cycle between red,
green and orange. Release the SP4 button when the bar is the required color. Now
whenever the bar is above the SP4 level it will be this color.
STEP F EXIT COLOR SET MODE
Turn off the power to the meter for 5 seconds and then re apply the power. The bargraph will now work with the programmed colors.

Texmate, Inc. Tel. [phone] • www.texmate.comFL-B101Q-HZ_manual (d0059) Page 9
To calibrate the Analog Output you must be able to input two input signals. Usually the mini-
mum input (LO Input) and the maximum (HI Input) signals are used for maximum accura-
cy.
For example the five steps to obtain an Analog Output of 4mA to 20mA for an input of 0 to
10V are:
STEP A ACCESS THE ANALOG CALIBRATION MODE
1) Confirm the internal analog output module is installed and that the required
voltage or current output option is selected.
2) Turn OFF the power to the bargraph.
3) Hold down the ZERO and SPAN buttons simultaneously and re-power the
bargraph. The ZERO button will now function as the LO button and the SPAN
button will now function as the HI button for calibrating the Analog Output.
STEP B RESET THE ANALOG OUTPUT SCALING
1) Press the LO and HI buttons simultaneously and hold them down for 2
seconds. This will reset the analog output scaling to the default value. The
default analog output scaling is approximately 0 to 20mA (0 to 10V if voltage
output option is selected) for an input that is 0 to 100% of the range selected
on the input signal conditioner.
STEP C CALIBRATE ANALOG OUTPUT FOR LO SIGNAL
1) Apply the low input signal (0V in this example) to the meter.
2) Connect an external multimeter to the analog output pins (Pins 17 and 18).
3) Using the LO button adjust the analog output as measured on the external
multimeter to be the required value. (4mA in this example). When the LO
button is pressed, the UP or DOWN indicator LED shows the direction of
change. To reverse the direction of change release the LO button and press
down again. Initially the output changes very slowly, but speeds up as the LO
button remains pressed down. The analog output for a low input can be set
in this step to any value in the range of 0 to 20mA or 0 to 10V ( if the voltage
output option is selected).
STEP D CALIBRATE ANALOG OUTPUT FOR HI SIGNAL
1) Next apply the high input signal (10V in this example) to the meter.
2) Using the HI button, adjust the analog output as measured on the external
multimeter to be the required value. (20mA in this example). When the HI
button is pressed the UP or DOWN indicator LED shows the direction of
change. Release the HI button and press again to reverse the direction of
change. Initially the output changes very slowly, but speeds up as the HI button
continues to remain pressed. This output may be higher or lower than the value
set in Step C, and may be any value in the range of 0 to 20mA or 0 to10V. This
allows the easy reversal of analog output that is required in some applications.
STEP E EXIT THE ANALOG OUTPUT CALIBRATION MODE
1) Turn OFF the power to the bargraph
2) Re-power the bargraph. The two buttons will now return to their original
function of ZERO and SPAN.
3) Calibration is now complete and the bar is scaled for a 0 to 10V input to
produce an analog output of 4 to 20mA.

The analog signal is independently scaled to the input signal and not to the bargraph display. It is important to note that the Analog
Output is completely independently of the bargraph display. This means for example that the bargraph display may be scaled to go from zero
to full scale as the input changes from 0 to 5V, while at the same time, the analog output is scaled to go from 4 to 20mA as the input changes
from 2 to 3V. Rescaling the bargraph or the analog output will not affect the scaling of the other.
Analog Output Scaling and Calibration
Reset the analog
output scaling by
pressing the LO (zero)
and HI (span) buttons
simultaneously
for 2 secs.

Installation
Installation
1. Install and wire meter per local applicable codes/reg-
ulations, the particular application, and good installation
practices.
2. Install meter in a location that does not exceed the
maximum operating temperature and that provides
good air circulation.
3. Separate input/output leads from power lines to
protect the meter from external noise. Input/output
leads should be routed as far away as possible from
contactors, control relays, transformers and other noisy
components. Shielding cables for input/output leads is
recommended with shield connection to earth ground
near the meter preferred.
4. A circuit breaker or disconnect switch is required to
disconnect power to the meter. The breaker/switch
should be in close proximity to the meter and marked as
the disconnecting device for the meter or meter circuit.
The circuit breaker or wall switch must be rated for the
applied voltage (e.g., 120VAC or 240VAC) and current
appropriate for the electrical application (e.g., 15A or
20A).
5. See Case Dimensions section for panel cutout infor-
mation.
6. See Connector Pinouts section for wiring.
7. Use 28-12 AWG wiring, minimum 90˚C (HH) tem-
perature rating. Strip wire approximately 0.3 in. (7-8
mm).
8. Recommended torque on all terminal plug screws
is 4.5 lb-in (0.51 N-m).
