Description
The Batcher is a programmable, microprocessor based unit which provides batch control, monitors fl ow
rate and controls the fl ow of processing liquids. Start/Stop controls can be used in conjunction with pre-
warn and fi nal relays to provide valve actuation or pump control. An optional confi guration offers stream-
lined preset adjustments, remote Start, Stop & Reset, and weighted averaging.

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, contact closures or analog inputs and provides two separate preset controls.

Principle of Operation
The batcher receives an input from a pulse producing fl owmeter through a sensor. The user programs
the batcher to condition the incoming pulses signal and compute the batch fl ow and fl ow rate. A wide
variety of different functions can then be performed based on the programmed confi gurations such as
start/stop functions, totalizing, and/or fl ow rate monitoring. Several other inputs, outputs and functions are
available.
