3.3.3 MENU 2 - OVERRUN
Due to system parameters which are beyond the settings of the batch controller, an overrun can
occur at the end of a batch. The batch controller analyzes the overrun volume and automatically
corrects the volume each time after each batch (self learning).
For an accurate overrun correction, it is necessary that the flowmeter
meets certain technical demands, such as "high resolution" and shows
no "false" overrun due to a slow update time. Do not enable this
function if the flow meter is not compatible to this function.
The overrun characteristic of the system will be analyzed during a
certain time after the batch relay has been de-energized. In this way,
false signal generated through leakage are eliminated. Enter here the
expected time needed by the system to stop a batch. It is advisable to
provide extra time in order to avoid an incorrect overrun correction or
false leakage alarms.
The next batch can only be started after the overrun time is completed!
3.3.4 MENU 3 - ALARM
The F130-P offers a no-flow monitoring feature: When the flowmeter does not generate a signal
during a certain (preset) time period, the F130-P will shut-off the control output(s) and bring the
batch controller in alarm status.
This setting is used to program the behavior of the no-flow alarm. When
the flow rate is zero, it is possible to ignore or disable the no-flow
monitoring.
This setting is used to set a delay time for the related alarm. When the
alarm condition is still valid after the delay time, an alarm is given.
This setting is used to set the behavior of the counter during a batch
process: count down (quantity to do) or count up (quantity done).
The backlight brightness can be adjusted from 0% (off) to 100% (full
brightness) in steps of 20%.
3.3.6 MENU 5 - POWER MANAGEMENT
When used with the internal battery option (type PB/PC), the user can expect reliable measurement
over a long period of time. The F130-P has several smart power management functions to extend
the battery life time significantly. Two of these functions can be set.
The calculation of the display-information influences the power
consumption significantly. When the application does not require a fast
display refresh rate, it is strongly advised to select a slow refresh rate.
Please understand that NO information will be lost; every pulse will be
counted and the output signals will be generated in the normal way.
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.
Example battery life-time with a coil pick-up:
• 1kHz pulse and FAST update: about 2 years;
• 1kHz pulse and 1 sec update: about 5 years.
