1 INTRODUCTION
1.1 SYSTEM DESCRIPTION OF THE F103-P
Functions and features
The flow rate / totalizer, model F103-P is a microprocessor driven instrument designed to linearize
the flowmeters flow curve and to show the flow rate, the total and the accumulated total.
This product has been designed with a focus on:
• Ultra-low power consumption to allow long-life battery powered applications (type PB).
• Non-Incendive for use in Class I, Division 2 for use in hazardous applications (type XN) in
Canada and the US.
• Several mounting possibilities with aluminum, stainless steel or plastic enclosures for harsh
industrial surroundings.
• Ability to process all types of flowmeter signals.
• Transmitting possibilities with analog / pulse and communication outputs.
Flowmeter input
This manual describes the F103-P with a pulse type input from the flowmeter “-P version”.
One flowmeter with a passive or active pulse or coil signal output can be connected to the F103-P.
To power the sensor, several options are available.
