to a dry contact relay with allowable current limited

to 1 amp 45 volts, AC or DC (exceeding this limit

may damage the output on the channel card).

Although a myriad of voltages could be used, it

is recommended that the Hi signal be connected

to the +24 VDC terminal (terminal #1331) and the

output be taken from the Lo output terminal. This

terminal will supply 24 VDC when the output is

energized by the software. (Referenced ground

terminal is #1113.)

An alternate way of connecting these outputs

would be to connect the positive supply voltage to

the load, the common of the load to the Hi output

terminal of the RCS-2 output, and connect the Lo

output terminal to both the ground of the supply

connected to the load and the ground terminal

(terminal #1113). Once again, current must be

limited to 1 amp and should never exceed 40 volts.

Volume Fill

Type of input: Gun

Type of signal: Pulsed

By pulsing the volume fill discrete input, the unit

will be put into the V. FILL mode. (The gun must

be in the ready state prior to this.) When the

gun trigger input goes high, the pumps will run

at the programmed flow rate and ratio until the

volume programmed in for Fill Volume (on the

Job parameters screen) is dispensed. If more

than one gun trigger inputs goes high (triggers 2,

3, or 4) the unit will multiply the flow rate by the

number of high inputs but still only run until the

programmed volume is dispensed. When that

volume is reached, the gun will be halted and

returned to the ready state.

Volume Fill with Fast Fill Mode

It is possible to volume fill and fast fill simultane-

ously. If the gun is put into volume fill mode, and

then the fast fill input is pulsed, the unit will run in

fast fill mode until the volume programmed in for

fill volume is dispensed. At that time, the gun will

be halted and returned to the ready state. This

happens regardless of the condition of the gun

trigger inputs.

Push Out

Type of Input: Gun

Type of signal: Pulsed

This feature allows a customer that uses dual purge

applicators to use two resin pumps that share a

common catalyst pump and pushout the resin with

solvent on one side of the dual purge applicator

while loading the other side of the applicator with

the next material to be sprayed. For additional

details on how to implement this feature, refer to"

Appendix L".

DISCRETE CHANNEL AND

GUN OUTPUTS

All discrete outputs have two terminals, one labeled

Hi and one labeled Lo. They operate very similar
