takes only a few seconds. Does not require recalibration of the scale.
Maximizes up time for the feed systems.
Electrically and optically isolated, user selectable 0-20 mA, 4-20 mA,
0-5 VDC, or 0-10 VDC output.
5" x 7" Waterproof when mounted in a NEMA 4 enclosure.
Bi-directional serial port (RS 232) allows reading of data and down-
loading of feed rate instructions.
Assigns addresses to each instrument so they can share the same Serial
Chain.
User can easily troubleshoot the controller by implementing the inter-
nal self test.
Automatically prepares batch performance reports.
Electronic method for calibrating a scale.

The HI 2160RC
is fitted with a bi-directional serial port, an
optional Allen Bradley I/O card or PROFIBUS Interface, which allow
for remote operation of the controller.
Stores up to twelve different complete system configurations allowing
fast and easy transition to a new material, auger or entire feeder.
The 2 Sigma Test feature is used to measure the feed rate performance
for any given feeder system. The 2 Sigma Test can be run on demand
during all feed cycles.

The model code number can be found on a label that is attached to
the top panel of the HI 2160RC
•
The model code number starts with the base model number (HI
PLUS
2160RC
). The dash alphanumeric designations indicate the
capabilities of the rate controller. For example: A model HI
2160RC-PM-A1-B1 is a Panel Mount controller with 4-20 milli-
amp control output and RS-232 to RS-422 converter. (See Fig. 1-2)
