Finish Thompson FMBC3000 Series - Manual (Page 5)

Setting Desired Batch Control Volume
Operating the Pump/Meter in Batch Mode
Press the Mode Menu button three times. It will cycle through “Vol”, “Flowrate” and the final menu option is called “Preset” (this is
displayed in the top left of the meter display). The “Preset” menu controls the batch size. When in the “Preset” mode, the bottom right
hand corner displays the batch size.
Using the “+” and “-“ keys adjust the batch size to the desired amount (the amount is shown in the lower right hand corner).
Batch size can be adjusted in increments of .5 liters.
NOTE: Factory default batch size is five liters.
NOTE: The actual volume pumped may exceed the preset batch amount due to the motor continuing to turn the pump shaft for a brief period
after the power is terminated to the motor. The meter WILL display the actual volume pumped. The batch size can be set slightly below the actual
desired batch size to compensate for this overrun.
The meter must remain in the “Preset” menu for the batch control to be active and functioning. Make sure the pump motor cord and batch control
relay wire are plugged into the batch control relay module. When ready to pump, turn the pump motor switch to the ON position.
Press the Start Stop button to begin pumping. The word “ON” will be displayed in the upper left hand corner. The pump will continue to
pump until the preset batch volume is reached. The pump motor will then automatically stop.
NOTE: The pump motor can be stopped before the batch volume is reached by pressing the Start Stop button. This will terminate this particular
batch and reset the batch total (on the top line of the display) to zero.
NOTE: Whatever range the meter is in (ranges 1-4) will have the accumulated total increased by the amount pumped while in batch mode.
WARNING: Turn the pump motor switch to the OFF position until ready to use the batch control feature again to prevent unintended
pump operation.
Operating the Pump/Meter in Rate and Total Flow Mode
With batch control mode deactivated (pump motor is not plugged into the batch control relay module), pressing the “Mode Menu” button located
on the front panel toggles the display between flow rate and total flow.
Resetting Accumulated Total For each Range
Press and hold the “Set Reset” button and then the “+” button to clear the accumulated total for each range. Each range
must be individually reset.
Changing display from Flowate or Volume
Press the “Mode Menu” button to toggle between the FLOWRATE and VOLUME (displayed as “VOL”) display modes. This
information will be displayed on the top line.
Resetting Volume Setting
With “VOL” displayed on the top line, press the “Set Reset” button to reset the total volume. This is independent of the accumulated total
(displayed in bottom right hand corner).
NOTE: Any time the “Mode Menu” or “+” button is pressed, the volume will be automatically reset to zero.
Additional Features
To access the remaining features, exit the batch mode (“Preset is displayed in the upper left hand corner when in batch mode) by
pressing the “Mode Menu” button. Pressing the button once displays “Vol” mode, twice displays “Flowrate mode”.
While in these two modes (“Vol” and “Flowrate”), pressing the Start Stop button does not allow the pump motor to operate. To operate
the pump motor in these modes plug the pump motor into a standard receptacle.
