5. Constructive Design
5.1 Power supply
MFE-1 and MFE-2: The power supply occurs via a 3.6 V lithium battery integrated in the UP-GF polyester
housing.
Hazardous area:
Only use batteries from Bopp & Reuther Messtechnik in the hazardous area. (Please state “hazardous area” on
repeat orders.)
MFE-3: Power supply: 15 – 30 VDC with 4-20mA current output.
Ensure there is an uninterruptible power supply, as meter values are saved in the memory element every
two hours. Risk of data loss during this time period!
Messtechnik GmbH
Hazardous area: The power supply in a hazardous area occurs via a transmitter supply unit; see 6.5 Connection
examples.
5.2 Sensor connection (only MFE-2 and MFE-3)
The MFE-2 and MFE-3 contain two cable bushings for one external sensor and/or pulse output. The terminal
compartment has up to two reed sensors that can be connected via plug-in connectors. The electronics can be
combined with any meter that uses reed sensors.
External sensor:
The external reed sensor can transmit pulses to either pulse input A or B depending on the measuring task and the
operating mode. A sliding switch AB is provided on the connection circuit board for this purpose. An external
sensor with a cable length of up to 30m can always be connected at terminals 1 and 2. Additionally, an internal reed
sensor can be used to transmit pulses to the other pulse input. It is therefore possible to carry out consumption
measurements.
6. Display and User Interface
6.1 Display
The display is an 8-digit 7-segment numeric display containing 20 information elements.
The information elements are used to display the unit, operating statuses, sensor signals, programming symbols,
etc.
Use the “” key to select the display: Q V1 V2 Q V1 V2 ….
Explanation of the display symbols:
• “A” or “B” is displayed for approx. 0.5 s when a pulse is generated at the sensor.
• “Prog” indicates that the device is in programming mode.
• “Q” and the respective flow unit are displayed together with the flow rate.
• Volumes are displayed via “V1” total volume meter or “V2” daily volume meter. The volume units are shown
accordingly. The “V2” meter can always be reset via the “R” key. The “V1” meter can only be reset via the
programming menu after entering the correct password. The password prompt is deactivated upon delivery.
• The menu steps and the volume meters V1 or V2 are displayed in the programming mode and the normal
mode respectively via the numbers 1/2/3/4/5/6.
The daily volume meter and total volume meter do not display values below zero.

Messtechnik GmbH

6.3 Operating menu
6.3.1 Key functions

Press the “►” key for approx. 2 s to go to the programming mode (“1” and “Prog” appear on the left and at the top
of the display respectively). Press the “R” key to navigate through the individual levels. The normal mode is reached
automatically after level 146 software version.
After reaching the level which needs to be altered, press the “►” key once. “Prog” flashes and the value can be
altered as described in the examples.
Examples:
Level 2 flow or volume unit:

For example, the unit “gal” is displayed. Press the “▲” key to change the unit setting to “g” (continue to press the
key to set the units “kg”, “t”, “l” or “m³”). Once the desired unit has been set, press the “►” key to save it.
Level 6 K factor:
The K factor is displayed as 0660.0000. This needs to be changed to 0200.000. The first digit can be altered when
“Prog” flashes. Press the “►” key to move to the second digit. Press the “▲” key to increase the value by “1”. Press
the key until “2” has been set and use the “►” key to move to the next digit. Continue this process until all the
values have been set as desired.
6.3.2 Operating modes (level 1)

6.3.2.1 Return identification
Return identification is possible when using two sensors at one measuring chamber. The flow is displayed as a
negative value during the return process. At the same time, both volume meters are decremented. Return
identification is only possible when pulses A and B overlap. The maximum input frequency that can be processed is
200 Hz. Negative values are not displayed after the V1 or V2 meter has returned to “0”. The quantity is lost! “E”
appears on the display during the return process. The message “E” is saved and can be deleted by pressing the
“” key. Select operating mode “1”.
6.3.2.2 Total volume measurement

“A” + “B” is calculated as the total volume measurement for the volume / mass measurement. There is no return
identification. Separate K factors are applied.
The total of “A+B” is displayed at all meters. K factor A and B can be set separately. Select operating mode “2”.
6.3.2.3 Difference measurement

“A-B” is calculated as the difference measurement for the volume / mass measurement. There is no return
identification. Separate K factors are applied.
The electronics can record pulses from two different measuring chambers. The forward quantity is, e.g., measured
by the internal reed sensor “A”. The external reed sensor then measures the pulses of the separately mounted
return quantity meter via the external reed sensor “B” (terminal positions 1+2). A K factor must be programmed for

Messtechnik GmbH
each sensor. The difference “A-B” is displayed at all the meters. A number below zero is impossible; the smallest
value that can be displayed at the volume meter is “0”. Select operating mode “3”.
6.3.3 Volume units (level 2)

The displayed volume unit can be freely selected (litre, cubic metre, gallons, grams, kilograms, tonnes).
There is no automatic conversion of the previously accumulated volume in the new unit when changing the selected
volume unit in level 2 or when changing the number of digits after the decimal point for V in level 5. All the current
meter readings are deleted (reset) when changing the volume unit. It is recommended to activate password
protection to prevent accidental deletion. Always observe possible effects on the current output.
Mass display
To display the mass, a fixed density in kg/m³ and an alpha value in kg/m³/°C must be entered in the programming
menu. The density and the alpha value are used to convert volumes to mass. When selecting a mass volume unit
(g, kg or t), the calculated or fixed density is accessed automatically depending on whether a temperature sensor is
connected or not.
6.3.4 Time units (level 3)

The time unit for the flow display (h/ min/ s) can be freely selected.
6.3.5 Digits after the decimal point for flow or volume (level 4 and 5)
The number of digits after the decimal point can be set separately for the flow and volume display.
Select up to 3 digits after the decimal point.
Always observe possible effects on the current output when making changes!
6.3.6 K factors (level 6 and 12)

The volume or flow is calculated by multiplying the generated pulses with the device-specific K factor.
A K factor must be programmed for each meter in the difference measurement and the total volume
measurement mode.
Only MFE-3: After changing the K factor the meter V1 has to be reset in the programming menu (see
section 6.3.12).
6.3.7 Density calculation (level 13)

Example 1: No temperature sensor connected
The expected process density is entered in level 13. This fixed density is used to continuously calculate the
mass volume.
Example 2: PT1000 connected (only for MFE-3)

Enter the density of the medium at 20°C in level 13. Enter the alpha value, i.e. the change of medium
density, in kg/m³/°C in level 23. The alpha value is always positive! The temperature of the connected
PT1000 is recorded and displayed in level 14. The temperature is recorded in 0.5° steps. (Please observe
the permissible temperature for meters and the electronics!) The electronics uses the density, alpha value
and the recorded temperature to calculate the operating density of the medium. This variable operating
density is used to calculate the mass volume.
Example:
Temperature: 27°C (can be read in level 14)
Density at 20°C: 998.2 kg/m³ (must be entered in level 13)
Alpha values: 0.2 kg/m³/°C (must be entered in level 23)
Calculation:

Messtechnik GmbH
27°C – 20°C = 7°C (temperature difference to 20°C)

7°C * 0.2 kg/m³/°C = 1.4 kg/m³ (change of density compared to 20°)
998.2 kg/m³ - 1.4 kg/m³ = 996.8 kg/m³ (new operating density for calculation with the current measured
volume)
6.3.8 Medium temperature (level 14) (only MFE-3)

The MFE-3 multifunctional electronics provides a connection for a PT1000 sensor (optional). The current measured
temperature is displayed in 0.5°steps in level 14. The medium temperature can be used to calculate the density.
If a temperature sensor is not used, a temperature of 20°C is always displayed.
6.3.9 Pulse outputs (level 24 and 25) (only MFE-2 and MFE-3)
6.3.9.1 Original pulses

Irrespective of the operating mode, only the pulses which reach pulse input “A” are output as original pulses. The
pulse duration for original pulses is always 4 ms and cannot be altered.
6.3.9.2 Scaled pulses (only MFE-2 and MFE-3)

Depending on the volume/quantity of mass, pulses can be output at the pulse output. A pulse is always followed by
a pulse-pause of identical duration. (Ratio 1:1)
The following pulse durations can be selected in level 25:
Pulse duration [ms] 4 12 24 48 100

Max. output frequency [Hz] 125 42 21 10 5
Select the type of pulse output in level 24: 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 OFF

0: Original pulses
1-6: Scaled pulses
OFF: No pulse output
Pulses are not lost. If the max. output frequency is briefly exceeded due to an excessive flow rate, the pulses are
metered in a “pulse buffer”. This buffer outputs the remaining pulses once the flow rate has been reduced.
The display (V1) is used to determine the scaling. Display

Definition of the positions for the following explanations:
Position 1 = far right, Position 2 = second from right, etc.
Position:
Example 1:
Setting “1” has been selected in level 24 (= position 1):
Meter reading (V1): 01357.246 kg
If position 1 changes from 6 to 7, the pulse buffer increases by 1.
The pulse buffer increases by 1 every time position 1 changes.
The pulses are output immediately.
Example 2:
Meter reading (V1): 01357.246 m³
If position 4 changes from 7 to 8, the pulse buffer increases by 1.
The pulse buffer increases by 1 every time position 4 changes.
Example 3:
The pulse buffer increases by 10 pulses if position 5 changes from 5 to 6, since this represents a 10 step change to
position 4. The pulses are output immediately.

Messtechnik GmbH
Clever selection of the scaling factor (level 24) and the pulse duration (level 25) can help to achieve a high
resolution without reaching the maximum output frequency of the meter.
Caution: Subsequent changes to the number of digits after the decimal point for the volume can affect the output of
the scaled pulses! The setting in level 24 must then be corrected.
6.3.10 Gate time flow display (level 34)

The set time rate corresponds to the update rate of the display.
For example: With a set gate time of 1.5 seconds, the display shows a current measured value every 1.5 seconds.
6.3.11 Attenuation factor (level 35)

The attenuation factor determines the number of measured values required to create the variable mean value.
For example: A set attenuation value of 2 uses the last 2 displayed values to calculate a variable mean value.
6.3.12 Total volume meter reset (level 36)

If “V2” is displayed, the meter (V2) can be reset by pressing the “R” key. The meter (V1) can only be reset via the
programming menu.
Password function:
MFE-1and MFE-2: The password (4-digit number) is only required to reset the main meter. The password is preset
during production and cannot be changed by the customer. The device comes with a printed
protocol (“Device Configuration MFE Electronics”) containing all the programmed parameters.
The password is specified under point “146 reset code total volume meter”.
MFE3: The password is required to access the programming level.

The password can be set by the customer at level 146. If the password is “0000”, the password
prompt is deactivated for programming level access.
The device comes with a printed protocol (“Device Configuration MFE Electronics”) containing all
the programmed parameters. The password is specified under point “146 password”. The
password is preset to “0000” upon delivery.
Resetting the main meter:
MFE-1 and MFE-2: At level 36, the correct password must be entered to reset the total volume meter. (Password –
see protocol “Device Configuration MFE”)
MFE-3: After accessing the programming level, change “0” to “1” in channel 36 in order to reset the main
meter.
The meter (V1) is reset to 0 after exiting the programming menu.
6.3.13 Current output (level 123 and 124) (only MFE-3)

The measured flow rate in the “Q” display can be output as current at the 4-20 mA current output.
The flow rate value for the lower measuring range limit (4 mA) and the flow rate value for the upper measuring
range limit (20 mA) are displayed in level 123 and 124 respectively. 4 mA usually corresponds to flow rate zero (“life
zero”).

Messtechnik GmbH
Caution!
The number of digits after the decimal point for channels 123 and 124 corresponds to the number of
decimal points selected in level 4.
When changes occur in level 4, always check and correct the measuring ranges in level 123 and 124!
6.3.14 Current simulation (level 125) (only MFE-3)

Any value between 04.00 and 20.00 mA can be set. The set value is output as current. Current simulation is
terminated when exiting the programming menu.
Caution!
Current simulation can affect the running process!
6.3.15 Password (level 146) (only MFE-3)

A password required to enter the programming level can be allocated as protection against accidental or
unauthorized changes to the program. A 4-digit combination can be entered as the password in level 146. The
password “0000” deactivates password protection.
When password protection is activated, the programming level can only be accessed after entering the correct
password. Please do not forget the set password, e.g. make a note of it.
6.4 Open collector pulse output
Caution!
In a hazardous area, the open collector output must be supplied in an intrinsically safe manner. Please
observe the connection values specified under 3.1 Electrical and thermal safety relevant data.

Messtechnik GmbH
MFE-2 and MFE-3
Caution!
Generally speaking, the passive open collector output must be connected via an approx. 10 kΩ pull-up
resistor.
MFE-2: The output pulses can be picked up at terminals 4 and 5. Set the open collector at terminal 5 to a
resistance of approx. 10 kΩ for voltages of between 5 and max. 24V. The current carrying capacity of the
output is max. 30 mA. If a voltage is applied to terminal 5 without resistance, the output stage of the
electronics will be destroyed.
MFE-3: The output pulses can be picked up at terminals 7 and 8. Set the open collector at terminal 8 to a
resistance of approx. 10 kΩ for voltages of between 5 and max. 24V. The current carrying capacity of the
output is max. 30 mA. If a voltage is applied to terminal 8 without resistance, the output stage of the
electronics will be destroyed.
