User Manual Interrupting and Ending the Batch Process When you press HOLD, the batch process is temporarily interrupted; the actual values are not lost The word "HOLD" flashes on the display From this point, you can press STAOT to resume the batch process You can end the batch process entirely at any time by pressing OESET OTEE: The actual values are lost and the system returns to steady state The batch cannot be resumed...
No Flow Alarm The PC200 offers a no-flow monitoring feature: if the flow meter fails to generate a signal during a certain period of time, the unit will shut off the control outputs and bring the batch controller in HOLD and alarm mode A “NO FLOW” alarm message...
To return to the operator level, press and hold POOG for three seconds If no key is pressed for 2 minutes, the unit will automatically exit SETUP OTEE: SETUP can only be reached if the PC200 is in “READY” mode During SETUP, the batch controller cannot be used for batching! OTEE:...
