Pulse Width Long Average - This average is used to determine the maximum or full flow rate. The ProPAC-3 compares this number with the Short Average to determine if the product flow rate has decreased by the Flush Start % Decrease. Programming the Long Average number too large will have no adverse effect on the performance of the frequency method.
Page 14
Definitions continued Suggested Settings for Brooks Presets using Frequency Line Flush All Brooks electronic presets send 1:1 product flow signals out in bursts that do not reflect the actual flow rate of the product. Hence averaging of product pulse frequency is a necessity when using the frequency method of line flush with a Brook preset.

This solenoid valve is in addition to the solenoid control valve located on the ProPAC-3 injector. The blocking control valve is controlled by the ProPAC-3 microprocessor and it is opened (energized) when additive/dye injections are prescribed for a product load.
Product Total will increment 1 gallon for each gallon of product loaded. Note 2: It is recommended to use a 1:1 product pulse or turbine meter pulse as the ProPAC-3 product input pulse so accurate product loads may be documented and accounted for.

2.0 Use as: Single Station Injector - One Rate The ProPAC-3 may be used in its simplest form as previous injectors that are used to inject a single additive at a single injection rate. In this example, the "Authorize" feature is programmed Disabled, and Permissive Inputs are not used.
2.2 Single Station Injector - Load State Operation The ProPAC-3 will enter the Load State, on receipt of either of the following: 1. Permissive input signal. (Typically 1:1 DC input pulse) 2. Injection request. (Typically 40:1 AC input pulse) On entering the Load State, the viewed screen will automatically switch from the Idle State screen (Fig. 1) to the Load State screen (Fig.

3. Alarms may be cleared by the following three methods: a. External “Push to Test” button provided when depressed Clears Alarms. b. Cycling the ProPAC-3 power OFF to ON. c. RS-485 serial communications protocol command. BATCH CONTROLLER...
If serial communications is established, an infinite number of injection rates are available. When the ProPAC-3 is used as a multiple station injector and wired utilizing the Permissive Input feature, the following is required, as a minimum, in order for the injector to function: 1.
Page 24
3.2 Multiple Station Injector - Screen Cycling Idle BATCH CONTROLLER TITAN PRO PAC-3 State Operation Grand Additive In order to use multiple channels, the Permissive 4,557.4 Input must be programmed with the number of Load Product channels desired for use (1,2, or 3) and the Authorize 9,026,480 feature must be programmed Enable.
Page 25
Provided the ProPAC-3 is programmed Authorize-Enable, and Permissive Input programmed (1,2, or 3), on receipt of a Permissive Input (rate selection), the ProPAC-3 will enter the Load State for the channel permitted, and the injector will automatically display the appropriate Load Screen.
Page 26
3.4 Multiple Station Injector - Alarm State Operation As with the single station use of the ProPAC-3, the Alarm State Screen will indicate injector alarms occurring during the Load State. The Alarm State Screen will alternate (5 second intervals) with the channel specific Load State Screen until the alarm has been reset.
Alarms are useful in determining conditions that may adversely affect the desired additive/product ratio. It is important to note, the desired additive/product ratio can only be achieved if the ProPAC-3 is integrated into a control system where product loading is terminated anytime an alarm is activated.

The Load Additive total (A 0.00) and the Load Product total (P31) will be displayed on the alarm screen, in addition to the alarm description (No Additive Pulse). Alarm Cycle Screens Fig. 2 BATCH CONTROLLER TITAN PRO PAC-3 A 0.00 Alarm P 31 No Additive Pulse...
It must be emphasized that an alarm notification by itself will not insure additive/product ratio compliance. It is imperative the ProPAC-3 Permissive Output, as well as other I/O's, be integrated into the terminal control system where product loading may be terminated in the event of an injector alarm. The various I/O and programming features available in the ProPAC-3, when properly integrated, are the best means to insure regulatory compliance regarding additive/product ratios.
Page 30
In the event the microprocessor does not count additive pulses from the Titan additive flow meter within 25 seconds of an injection request, the unit will alarm. When the ProPAC-3 is in this alarmed state, further injection attempts are prohibited. The alarm will activate under the following conditions: 1.
Page 31
Cause: When the microprocessor detects a permissive input and flow switch input, and does not receive a product pulse input within 120 seconds, the unit will alarm. When the ProPAC-3 is in this alarmed state, further injection attempts are prohibited.
Page 32
Cause: The ProPAC-3 can provide a quarterly Calibration Alarm by utilizing the on board Real Time Clock (RTC). The alarm assists the user in assuring regulatory compliance. When the ProPAC-3 is in this alarmed state, it does not prevent further injection attempts. The alarm is activated when the injector has not been calibrated for a period of three months.

Product under pressure may leak in a reverse direction through the ProPAC-3 additive flow meter, falsely indicating additive flow. Additive installations should always include a ball valve and a check installed on the additive line at the additive injection point.
Test Port and with the additive pump/motor positioned ON, push the Test Injection pushbutton on the side of the ProPAC-3 several times, in order to purge any air from the system. Air in the additive fluid will make injector calibration impossible to perform accurately.

Dye System Considerations The ProPAC-3 incorporates a specially designed output for product line flush situations. Dyed and clear products are to be loaded from the same load arm. The Blocking Control Valve is used to minimize the capillary effect of the dye leaching into the product line after the product line is flushed. The Blocking Control Valve Output contact is closed when the injector is authorized and opened when line flush is initiated.
The standard ProPAC-3 injector utilizes input and output modules that are single channel modules (one input or output per module). Some advanced features of the ProPAC-3 require the use of optional dual input and/or dual output modules. Dual modules have either two inputs or two outputs per module location. The B portion of each module can only be accessed when a dual I/O module is installed.

It is possible the additive flow meter pulse counts from the Titan flow meter are not received by the microprocessor following an injection request. This problem could cause the solenoid to remain energized (open) for an extended period of time in an attempt to complete the injection request. If the microprocessor does not count or detect pulses from the Titan flow meter within 30 seconds of the receipt of a valid injection request, the alarm will activate.
