Configuration
The F116-P is designed for use in many types of applications. For that reason, a setup menu is
available to program the F116-P according to your specific requirements.
The setup includes several important features, such as K-Factors, engineering units, signal
selection, power management (to extend battery life-time), etc. All settings are stored in a non-
volatile memory and therefore kept in the event of a power failure or an exhausted battery.
Display information
The unit has a LCD with (optional) backlight to show the process information, status and alarm
messages. The display refresh rate is programmed in the setup menu.
At a key press, the display refresh rate will switch to FAST for 30 seconds. When 'OFF' is selected,
the display goes off after 30 seconds after the last key press. The display temporarily comes on after
a key press.
A backup of the total and accumulated total in EEPROM memory is made every minute.
Backlight
A backlight is available as an option. The brightness can be tuned as desired (requires power supply
type PD/PF/PM). For battery and loop powered applications the backlight will not function.
Options
The following options are available: isolated or active (0)4-20mA / 0-10V analog output, full Modbus
communication RS232/485/TTL (also battery powered), Intrinsic safety, mechanical relay or active
output, power- and sensor-supply options, panel-mount, wall-mount and weather-proof enclosures,
flame proof enclosure and LED backlight.
