Applications

Flow measurement where a local flow rate indication and totalizer function is required without re-transmission functionality. Alternative basic models F010 and F011 or more advanced F013 - F014 - F016 - F110 and higher.

OVERVIEW

Introduction

The F012 is a local indicator to display the actual flow rate, total and accumulated total. The total can be reset to zero by pressing the CLEAR button twice. The eleven digit accumulated total however can not be reset to zero. A wide selection of options further enhance this models capabilities, including Intrinsic Safety for hazardous area applications

Display

The display has large 17mm (0.67") and 8mm (0.31") digits which can be set to show flow rate and / or totals. On-screen engineering units are easily configured from a comprehensive selection. The accumulated total can register up to 11 digits and is backed-up in EEPROM memory every minute, just as the running total. As the F012 has been designed for field mounted applications, a smart display update function has been incorporated. Related to the lower temperatures, the update frequency of the LCD is tuned automatically to achieve a readable display even at -40°C / -40°F.

Backlight

For those applications where readability during day and night is an issue, a bi-color backlight is available. The background color can be set to green or amber and the intensity can be adjusted from the keyboard. The display is a transflective type, which means that a high contrast reading is guaranteed in full sunlight as well as during the night. This backlight option is also available Intrinsically Safe.

Configuration

All configuration settings are accessed via a simple operator menu which can be pass-code protected. Each setting is clearly indicated with an alphanumerical description, therefore avoiding confusing abbreviations and baffling codes. Once familiar with one F-series product, you will be able to program all models in the series without a manual. All settings are safely stored in EEPROM memory in the event of sudden power failure.

Signal Input

The F012 will accept most pulse and analog input signals for flow or mass flow measurement. The input signal type can be selected by the user in the configuration menu without having to adjust any sensitive mechanical dip-switches, jumpers or trimmers. The analog input version is even available as 4-20mA input loop-powered display.

Power Supply

Several power supply options are available to power the F012 and sensor. For analog sensors, a 4-20mA loop-powered version is available as well. A real sensor supply is offered with the 24V AC/DC or 115 - 230V AC power supply option.

Hazardous Area

For hazardous area applications, this model has been ATEX, IECEx, FM and CSA certified Intrinsically Safe for gas and dust applications, with an allowed operational temperature of -40°C to +70°C (-40°F to +158°F). A flame proof enclosure with ATEX certification offers the rating ATEX Certification II 2 GD EExd IIB T5.

Enclosures

Various types of enclosures can be selected, all ATEX, IECEx, FM and CSA approved. As standard the F012 is supplied in an GRP panel mount enclosure, which can be converted to an IP67 / NEMA 4X GRP field mount enclosure by the addition of a back case. Most popular is our aluminum field mount enclosure with IP67 / NEMA 4X rating. Both European or U.S. cable gland entry threads are available.
