1 INTRODUCTION
1.1 SYSTEM DESCRIPTION OF THE F013-A
Functions and features
The flow rate monitor / totalizer model F013-A is a microprocessor driven instrument designed to
display flow rate, total and accumulated total as well as the monitoring of the flow rate for high / low
values.
This product has been designed with a focus on:
▪
ultra-low power consumption to allow long-life battery powered applications (type PB / PC),
▪
intrinsic safety for use in hazardous applications (type XI),
▪
several mounting possibilities with GRP, aluminum or stainless steel 316L enclosures for
industrial surroundings,
▪
ability to process all types of flowmeter signals,
▪
transmitting possibilities with one configurable alarm output.
Flowmeter input
This manual describes the unit with an analog (0)4-20mA input type from the flowmeter "-A version".
Other versions are available to process pulse or 0-10V flowmeter signals.
One flowmeter with a passive or active (0)4-20mA signal output can be connected to the F013-A. To
power the sensor, several options are available.

Configuration of the F013-A
The F013-A has been designed to be implemented in many types of applications. For that reason, a
SETUP-level is available to configure your F013-A according to your specific requirements.
It includes several important features, such as span, measurement units, signal selection etc. All
settings are stored in EEPROM memory and will not be lost in the event of power failure. To extend
the battery-life time, please use of the power-management functions as described in chapter 3.3.6.
Display information
The F013-A has a large transflective LCD with all kinds of symbols and digits to display measuring
units, status information, trend-indication and key-word messages.
Flow rate and totals can be displayed either with the small 8mm digits or with the 17mm digits.
A backup of the total and accumulated total in EEPROM memory is made every minute.
Options
The following options are available: intrinsic safety, mechanical relay, passive or active outputs,
power- and sensor-supply options, panel-mount, wall-mount and weather-proof enclosures, flame
proof enclosure and LED backlight.
