INPUT DETAILS

The instrument accepts an input from 0 to 2KHZ and is dip switch selectable for open collector, reed, Hall, Namur and turbine signals (from 20mV peak to peak).

DISPLAY

The IBA incorporates a six (6) digit 18mm digit height (LCD) display with integrated white LED backlight with a wide viewing angle and a viewing distance of 5 metres. The front panel switched are an embossed membrane type with positive action.

PRINTER INTERFACE

The instrument incorporates an optional RS232 serial port to drive a ticket printer with client header, batch total, accumulated total, current time, current date and batch number.

TOTALISER MEMORY

The instrument incorporates a background running total that is stored in eeprom memory during loss of power. This total can be displayed by the front total touch button and reset.

LOW FLOW ALARM

The instrument incorporates a low flow alarm. If no input pulses are received in a pre- programmed period the low flow output becomes active and the batch is cancelled and LF ERR is displayed.

ENVIRONMENTAL PARAMETERS

• 0 to 70 degrees Celsius and 0-90% RH NON condensing
• Front facia is weatherproof to IP65

POWER SUPPLY

85 to 265VAC of 47-63 Hz or DC to DC converter from 12 to 40VDC. An adjustable transducer power supply of 8 to 20VDC at 50mA is incorporated in the instrument.

MOUNTING DETAILS

• Panel mounting extruded aluminium enclosure of 144 mm wide by 72 mm high by 130mm deep (including pluggable rear terminals) with a panel cut out of 139 mm wide by 67 mm high.
• Explosion proof version available

APPROVALS

CE for EMC compliance and electrical safety.

RELAY OUTPUTS

• Mechanical relay with form C contacts and a contact rating of 5 amperes resistive at 240VAC
• Solid state relays optional with a normally open contact and a contact rating of 2 amperes at 240VAC

BATCHER OPERATION

Four membrane switches on the front panel allow the batch quantity to be set and batching operations to be started, stopped, resumed and reset. When the batcher is running the DISPLAY button can be used to show the background total.

PERFORMANCE ENHANCEMENTS

The instrument has a universal AC power supply that allows it to be powered from 85 to 265VAC and 47 to 63 Hz. Alternatively it can be supplied as a DC powered instrument that operate from 12 to 40VDC.

VALVE CONTROL OPERATION

The batch size is set from the front panel. Pressing the start button will energise relay one and start liquid flow. It will stay energised until the end of batch is reached and then de-energise. The isolated 4-20mA control output with five point programmable profile will ramp the valve open to set point one, hold to set point two, ramp down to set point three, hold set set point four and ramp valve down to batch complete., The batch process can be halted at any time with the stop button and restarted which will cause the batch to continue from where it stopped but not reset the batch counter.
