BATCH CONTROLLERSMODEL 414A November 1995

3.1 FRONT PANEL OPERATIONThe four key operation of the Batch Controller is straight forward.SETTING THE BATCH QUANTITYThe Batch quantity is programme

The Batch quantity can only be set while the instrument is in non-operationalstate such as when the batch is complete, or if the batch process has bee

DISPLAYED INFORMATIONThe display will normally show the Batch Total, which is the total count for thecurrent batch and is reset on each new batch. The

3.2 BATCH OPERATIONSThe Batch Control functions can be programmed, during Calibration, to operatein one of two ways.1. At the end of the batch, the S

2. If Automatic Reset is programmed, a new batch is commenced each time theRUN key is pressed.The Batch Controller can also be programmed, during Cali

3.2.1 Control Relay OutputsThe two output relays can be set up to control a single valve or a dual valve withslow stop and/or slow start. Alternativ

3.2.2 Signal TimeoutThe Signal Timeout period defines a time interval which is used to detect if theflow has stopped. If there is no signal input fo

3.2.3 End of BatchAn End of Batch is defined as being when the Batch Quantity is reached, theflow has stopped and the Signal Timeout period has expir

3.2.4 Auto RestartThe Batch Controller can be programmed to continually repeat the batchprocess. This mode of operation is selected during the progr

3.2.5 Automatic Overrun CompensationThe Batch Controller can be programmed to automatically compensate for anyoverrun at the end of a batch.Typically
