5.4 SETUP MENU EXPLANATIONS

5.4.1 MENU 1: FLOW RATE

The display update time for Flow rate is one second or more.

Calculating the Span for Flow rate

The Span is used to convert the flowmeter output voltage to a flow. The basis is the flow rate at 10 V

sensor output. Two examples are given.

Example 1

● The flowmeter generates 10 V at a flow rate of 2,481.3 Liter/minute.

● The flow will be displayed using L/min (1.1: FLOW RATE > UNIT and 1.2: FLOW RATE > TIME UNIT).

● Thus, the Span is 2481.3.

● Enter the Span as 248130 at 1.4: FLOW RATE > SPAN and 2 at 1.3: FLOW RATE > DECIMALS.

Example 2

● The flowmeter generates 10 V at a flow rate of 652.31 USGAL per hour.

● The flow will be displayed using USG/min (1.1: FLOW RATE > UNIT and 1.2: FLOW RATE > TIME UNIT).

● 652.31 USG/hour equals 10.87183 USG/min. Thus, the Span is 10.87183.

● Enter the Span as 10872 at 1.4: FLOW RATE > SPAN and 3 at 1.3: FLOW RATE > DECIMALS.

F010-U User Manual

FW_F010-U_M_v0501-03_EN Page 13

1.1 UNIT Determines the measurement unit for the flow rate. The following can be

selected:

mL - L - m3 - mg - g - kg - ton - GAL - bbl - lb - cf - REV - no unit - scf -

Nm3 - NL - P

Changing the measurement unit will have consequences for operator

and setup values. Please note that the Span should be checked also.

Recalculation is not done automatically.

1.2 TIME UNIT The flow rate can be calculated in units per second (SEC), minute (MIN),

hour (HR) or day (DAY).

1.3 DECIMALS Determines the number of decimals for the flowrate and Span. The

following can be selected:

00000 - 1111.1 - 222.22 - 33.333 - 4.4444 - .55555

1.4 SPAN The Span is used to convert the flowmeter output to a flow rate unit. The

Span is based on the selected measurement unit, decimals and time

unit at 10 V.

Accuracy of the measurement system depends on the accuracy of the

Span.

Examples are given just above this table.

5.4.2 MENU 2: DISPLAY

4.1 FORMULA The F010-U can process the analog 0 - 10 V signal in two ways: linear

or as a root.

●Interpolation: the signal is processed in a linear way

R = S x I

●Square root: the signal is processed applying a square root, f.i. with

differential pressure sensoring

R = S √ I

where R is the calculated flow rate, S is the maximum flow rate at 10 V

(1.4: FLOW RATE > SPAN), and I is the scaled analog input between 0 (for

minimum input, 0 V) and 1 (for maximum input, i.e. 10 V).

4.2 FILTER The analog output signal of a flowmeter mirrors the actual process

value. This signal is sampled several times per second by the F010-U.

Consequently, random and/or fast changes in sensor signal may lead to

instable displayed process values. With the help of the filter setting a

stable and accurate reading can be obtained. The filter function is based

on three values: the last sampled input signal, the last average value

and the set filter level. The higher the filter level chosen, the slower the

response of the unit to step changes in the process value will be.

The table below gives response times related to filter levels.

RESPONSE TIME ON STEP CHANGE OF INPUT VALUE (IN % OF END VALUE)

Filter value 50% 75% 90% 99%

01 filter disabled filter disabled filter disabled filter disabled

02 0.3 sec 0.5 sec 1.0 sec 1.8 sec

03 0.5 sec 1.0 sec 1.5 sec 3.0 sec

05 1.0 sec 1.8 sec 2.8 sec 5.3 sec

10 1.8 sec 3.5 sec 5.6 sec 11 sec

20 3.5 sec 7.0 sec 11 sec 23 sec

30 5.3 sec 10 sec 17 sec 34 sec

50 8.8 sec 17 sec 29 sec 57 sec

75 13 sec 26 sec 43 sec 86 sec

99 17 sec 34 sec 57 sec 114 sec

4.3 CUT-OFF To ignore small flows e.g. leakage or vibration, a low-flow cut-off can be

set. If the input is below cut-off, the signal will be ignored.

The cut-off is set as percentage of the full 10 V range, and can be set

from 0.0 to 99.9 %. The value to be set depends on the processing

formula set at 4.1: FLOWMETER > FORMULA, and follows the span as set in

1.4: FLOW RATE > SPAN.

Two examples are given below.

EXAMPLES OF CUT-OFF CALCULATIONS

Signal processing Span Cut-off Cut-off percentage Threshold input signal

Interpolation 450 L/min 25 L/min (25/450)*100%=5.5% 10V*5.5%=0.55V

Square root 450 L/min 25 L/min (25/450)2*100%=0.3% 10V*0.3%=0.3V

4.4 CALIBRATE LOW The unit is calibrated in factory using a very accurate voltage source. In

case the flowmeter signal does not equal 0 V at flow rate zero, this

function is needed to set the minimum input voltage at flow rate zero.

Be very sure that the offered tuning signal is stable and correct

before using it for calibration, since this setting has major

influence on the accuracy of the system.

After pressing PROG, one of three options can be selected.

●CALIBRATE: with this choice, the minimum input will be set at the

actual input voltage. After pressing ENTER, CAL SET will be

displayed when the calibration process is completed. From now on,

the input voltage must be higher than the newly calibrated value in

order to be processed.

●DEFAULT: re-installs the factory calibration.

●CAL SET: selects the latest calibrated value.

4.5 CALIBRATE HIGH The F010 is calibrated in factory using a very accurate voltage source.

In case the flowmeter signal does not equal 10 V at maximum flow rate,

this function is needed to set the input voltage at maximum flow rate.

Be very sure that the offered tuning signal is stable and correct

before using it for calibration, since this setting has major

influence on the accuracy of the system.

After pressing PROG, one of three options can be selected.

●CALIBRATE: with this choice, the maximum input will be set at the

actual input voltage. After pressing ENTER, CAL SET will be

displayed when the calibration process is completed. From now on,

the input voltage must be lower than the newly calibrated value in

order to be processed.

●DEFAULT: re-installs the factory calibration.

●CAL SET: selects the latest calibrated value.
