PROGRAMMING
Installation programming requires the setup of three parameters:
•
Mode (either Auto or Manual)
•
115V AC lockout (either NO or NC)
•
Flow transmitter pulse weight (either 1, 10 or 100 gallons per pulse)
These settings are not normally changed after installation is completed, and are done on a display screen hidden from normal
operator viewing
There are three other programmable settings normally made by the operator (see
):
•
Batch size
•
Auto mode timeout
•
Running batch count adjustment
The first time the controller is powered up after leaving the factory, the bottom line of the display will read “Enter Program
Mode” Press the Run/Program key to put the unit into operation The bottom line will then read “Start Stop " Also, when first
powered up, the running count value will be zero Set the count to any value other than zero, preferably to the batch size,
before running the first batch Once the first batch is run, the controller will automatically return to the batch preset value at
the start of each new batch To set the running count value, see
“Change Running Count Value” on page 13
To get to the installation programming screen, hold both the F1 and F6 keys down for three seconds The display will
then read:
