Setting the printer output for a totalizer ticket on the F119 / E119
In this tutorial we will learn how to set the printer output for a totalizer ticket on the Fluidwell F- and E119 flow totalizers. A totalizer ticket is used to print the current totalizer values, like Total, Accumulated total, Current day total and Previous day total. It can be printed on demand or automatically every day at a contract hour.
Both the F- and E119 have the unique functionality to configure the Modbus communication port to send a receipt printing command.
Setting the printer output for a totalizer ticket on the F119 / E119
In this tutorial we will learn how to set the printer output for a delivery ticket on the Fluidwell F119 or E119 flow totalizers. A delivery ticket is used to print the current delivered value after an operator ends the delivery. It shows specific delivery data such as a start and finish time, delivered total and delivery number.
Both the F and E119 have the unique functionality to configure the Modbus communication port to send a receipt printing command.
Explainer: Overrrun correction
An overrun may occur in a batch control process when the batch ends, and the control output deactivates the pump or valve. The remaining fluid in the system that has already passed will be added to the batch. This will cause an inaccurate batch volume.
Fluidwell batch controllers have a self-learning overrun correction. During a specific time, set by the operator, the controller analyzes the overrun volume of the batch and automatically corrects the end-of-batch timing of the control outputs.

Setting the span for flow rate on the F-series
Learn fast how to set the span for an analog input on the F-Series Flow rate Indicators, Totalizers and Flowcomputers. The span is used to convert the 4 - 20mA flowmeter signal into a measured flow rate or total quantity.
Calculation example
Setting the span on a Fuidwell F090
Learn fast how to set the span and offset for an analog input on the F090 General Purpose Indicator. The programming instruction can also be used for our temperature and pressure indicators, though menu items can slightly differ with the ones shown in this video.
Calculation example
Setting the span for level & height on the F-Series
Learn fast how to set the span and offset for an analog input on the F073 Level Monitor with a simultaneous level and height indication. The programming instruction can also be used for other Level Indicators and Monitors, though menu items can differ slightly with the ones shown in this video.

Setting the daily totals on the F-Series Totalizers
The daily total or current day total shows the actual measured quantity since a specific time of the day, this moment is called: Contract hour. Each day, at this contract hour, the current day total is copied to the previous day total and then reset to zero, so the daily total registration starts again. Besides the Current and previous day totals, a list of 15 historical day totals is available. In this example we will show you how to set and view the daily totals on the F103
