The HI 2160RC PLUS is a compact, single ingredient Loss-In-Weight
controller. The rate controller is used in a variety of material flow appli-
cations for example auger, belt, and vibration based feeders. The HI
PLUS
2160RC measures the flow rate from a feeding device located on a
process weighing scale. The rate is measured by calculating the loss of
weight over a very short period of time. The rate controller compares
the actual rate of flow to the desired rate of flow, computes the appro-
priate change(s) and transmits a signal (0-30 Millivolts) to either speed
