MANUAL BATCH START APPLICATION
Manual batch start requires pressing the clear setpoints button to energize the relay. The relay de-energizes when
the Batch Amount is reached. The clear setpoints button must be pressed again to begin the next batch.
Application 1.
Manual Batch Operation
In this operation, the relay is used to switch a device such as a valve or pump, that is controlling the flow being
measured.
Example: a pump is turned on and off to fill containers to a preset amount of fluid. The fluid being pumped is also
the fluid being measured by the F-2000.
1. The pump is wired to the normally open relay contacts of the F-2000.
2. Manually pressing the front panel “clear setpoints” button starts the batch by energizing the relay, which
switches on power to the pump. The SETPOINT display icon illuminates.
3. The displayed Batch Number increments by one.
4. The displayed Batch Amount increases based on the pump flow rate.
5. When the programmed Batch Amount is reached, the relay de-energizes, turning off the pump. The SETPOINT
display icon disappears.
6. The batch is complete.
Note: The batch may be interrupted and re-started by pressing the “clear setpoints” button. The SETPOINT
display icon flashes.
AUTOMATIC BATCH START APPLICATION
Automatic Batch Start requires programming the EXTERNAL EQUIPMENT TIMER to a specific time from 000 -
999 seconds. When the batch amount is reached, the relay energizes and the timer starts. The relay de-energizes
when the number of seconds programmed is reached.
PROGRAMMING SCREEN PROGRAMMING SCREEN FUNCTION
Setpoint - BATCH - 1
Batch amount value.
Setpoint - BATCH - 2
Auto reset on or off (on for auto timed batches and proportional feed control, off for manually reset batches)
Setpoint - BATCH - 3
External equipment timer amount in seconds (0 - 999).
OPTION 2. RELAY SETPOINTS ARE ASSIGNED TO THE BATCH MODE.
BATCH AMOUNT - Two types of batch applications are available, manually started batches and automatically started
batches. Both types require the programming of a batch amount value.
In a manually started batch, the relay is energized manually by the user when the front panel clear setpoint
button is pressed and de-energized when the batch amount is reached. In this mode, the relay is switching a
valve or other device that is controlling the flow being measured.
In an automatically started batch, the relay is energized and the external equipment timer is started when the
batch amount is reached. The relay is de-energized at the end of the timer cycle.
AUTO RESET ON/OFF - The auto reset must be turned off for manual start batches and turned on for auto start batches.
EXTERNAL EQUIPMENT TIMER - The external equipment timer is only used with auto start batches.
When the setpoint mode selection screen is assigned to BATCH, the following program screens are available:
CAUTION: A SEPARATE EMERGENCY SHUT-OFF SWITCH FOR EXTERNAL EQUIPMENT IS RECOMMENDED.
