OVERVIEW
Introduction
The F118 provides very precise linearization of the flowmeters signal. In addition to the average K-Factor or Span, ten linearization points can be entered. The unit will interpolate between these points greatly enhancing accuracy in any flow range. Moreover, continuous flow rate monitoring feature is available with low and high flow rate alarm values. A wide selection of options further enhance this models capabilities.
Display
The display has large 17mm (0.67”) and 8mm (0.31”) digits which can be set to show flow rate, totals and alarm values. 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.
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.
Analog Output Signal
The linearized flow rate is re-transmitted with the (0)4-20mA or 0 - 10V DC output signal. The output signal is updated ten times per second. The output value is user defined, e.g. 4mA equals to 15L/Hr and 20mA equals to 2000L/Hr. The output signal can be passive, active or isolated where the passive output type will loop power the F118 as well.
Alarm Output
Up to three outputs are available to transmit the flow rate alarm condition and/or to generate a pulse in relation to total. All free configurable, in such a way that you can have e.g. one low alarm output, one high alarm output and one pulse output. A maximum of two outputs are available in Intrinsically Safe applications. The output signals can be a passive NPN, active PNP or an isolated electro-mechanical relay.
Pulse Output
The scalable pulse output, reflects the count on the accumulated display. The pulse length is user defined from 0.008 second up to 2 seconds. The maximum output frequency is 64Hz.
Signal Input
The F118 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 or jumpers.
Communication
All process data and settings can be read and modified manually or through the Modbus communication link (RS232 / RS485). Full Modbus functionality remains available for the Intrinsically Safe version (TTL).
Hazardous area
For hazardous area applications, this model has been ATEX certified Intrinsically Safe II 1 GD EEx ia IIB / IIC T4 T100°C with an allowed operational temperature of -30°C to +70°C (-22°F to +158°F). A flame proof enclosure is also available with the rating II 2 GD EEx d IIB T5.
Enclosures
Various types of enclosures can be selected, all ATEX approved. As standard the F118 is supplied in a GRP panel mount enclosure, which can be converted to a GRP field mount enclosure. Most popular is our rugged aluminum field mount enclosure with IP67 / NEMA 4X rating. Both European or U.S. cable gland entry threads are available.

ORDERING INFORMATION
Standard Model Number Configuration: F118-P-AP-CX-EX-HC-IX-OT-PX-TX-XX-ZX
To aid in the construction of a Fluidwell model number a model configurator must be used. The path to this Configurator is contained in the link shown below. However, it would help to first review the options shown below.
NOTE: If you require the product to be Intrinsically Safe (ATEX, IECEx, CSA or c-us), the options you choose should only include those options that carry the ATEX symbol next to them. The Configurator will not allow you to mix and match options, unless the product is to be used in a Safe Area.
Once a new model is generated using the Configurator, you will
- see the price of the fully configured model
- have an opportunity to purchase the product
- have the capability to e-mail the configuration to us, yourself, or a third person
