Installation and Operating Manual
Description
The Batcher is a programmable, microprocessor based unit which provides batch control, monitors flow
rate and controls the flow of processing liquids. Start/Stop controls can be used in conjunction with
prewarn and final relays to provide valve actuation or pump control. An optional configuration offers
streamlined preset adjustments, remote Start, Stop & Reset, and weighted averaging.
Features
Start/Stop Buttons & Remote Inputs
Separate 8 Digit K-Factors For Rate & Total
Accepts Pulse Inputs
Displays Rate, Total and Grand Total
Security Lockout with Missing Pulse Detection
Scaled Pulse Output
2 Setpoints For Two Stage Valve Control
NEMA 4X (IP65) Front Panel
Application
The unit is normally used for batch control or inventory tracking. The display may be toggled between
batch, rate, and grand total. A programmable K-factor makes keying-in engineering units easy. The unit
accepts pulse or contact closure inputs and provides two separate preset controls.
Principle of Operation
The batcher receives an input from a pulse producing flowmeter through a sensor. The user programs
the batcher to condition the incoming pulses signal and compute the batch flow and flow rate. A wide
variety of different functions can then be performed based on the programmed configurations such as
start/stop functions, totalizing, and/or flow rate monitoring.

    1-4 STD PRE and EZ PRE Operation Modes STD PRE and EZ PRE Operation Modes The batcher software allows the user to choose between STD PRE (Standard Preset) and EZ PRE (Easy Preset) operation modes. STD PRE operation is well suited for batch amounts that do not change, since the program mode must be entered to change the preset and the batch count must be cleared before starting a new batch.
