    2. Operation 2.1 Key Functions The following keys are available: Fig. 2: Control panel Functions of the keys START-key This key is used to:  START the batch process.  to enter the preset value during programming.  to reset the total value. ...
  • Page 7: Operator Functions

    2.2 Operator Functions By default, the EB11 will act at Operator level. For the Operator, the following functions are available: To enter a batch quantity  To change the PRESET-value, following procedure must be followed: press START + STOP quickly and simultaneously: the word "PROG" will be flashing, If the buttons are held too long there will be no response use STOP to select the digit position and START to increase that value, set the new PRESET-value by pressing START + STOP quickly and...
  • Page 8 Interrupting and ending the batch process  When STOP is pressed once, the batch process will be temporarily interrupted; the actual values are not lost. At the display, the word "RUN" will be flashing. From this stage, the batch process can be resumed with the START-key. The process can be ended entirely at all times by pressing STOP twice in which case the actual values are "lost"...
  • Page 9: Mechanical Installation

    This instrument may be purchased as a meter mount display which will mount on the top of any Flomec flow meter. For any instruments purchased as field mount, these may be converted to a meter mount instrument by purchasing a new rear enclosure.
  • Page 10: Wall And Pipe Mounting

    3.4 Wall and Pipe Mounting Mounting of the instrument on a pipe or flat surface (such as a wall) can be accomplished using the Wall Mount Kit (part no. 1522001) or Pipe Mount Kit (part no. 1522002) – see next page for diagram.
  • Page 11 The rear enclosure of the instrument should be mounted behind the panel (as per diagram above) to protect the electronics module from damage and provide separation from any conductive components inside the panel/cabinet.

    OM series flowmeter, it will come in this configuration. 4.1.3 Reed-switch Signal Input The EB11 is suitable for use with flowmeters which have a reed-switch. For non-Flomec meters make sure the contact resistance of the reed switch is less than 10k Ohm.
  • Page 14: Namur Signal Input

    4.1.4 NAMUR Signal Input The EB11 is suitable for flowmeters with a NAMUR signal. The EB11 is able to power the NAMUR sensor via the 8.2V sensor supply (terminal 4). 4.2 Digital Outputs 4.2.1 NPN Transistor Outputs The functionality of the digital outputs is to control a valve, pump or other device. Two passive transistor outputs are available that switch either simultaneously or sequentially depending on the valve programmed for preclose.

    5. Programming Parameters To enter programming mode, hold the START key down for 7 seconds until the SETUP indicator stops flashing. Once programming mode has been entered the STOP key can be used to cycle through the four sub-menu options and the START key can be used to view the screens within each sub-menu.
  • Page 16: Overrun Menu

    Overrun can occur at the end of the batch process, as a result of a slow acting valve or pump. Consequently, the accuracy is reduced. With this function, the Easybatch analyses the actual overrun characteristic after every batch and corrects the overrun automatically.
