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 IBW 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.

Communication / Printer Interface

The instrument incorporates a Bluetooth interface to an App and Tablet or 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 has a low flow alarm. If no pulses are received in a pre- programmed period the alarm is activated, 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.

Connection Details

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 30mA is incorporated in the instrument.

Mounting Details

• Surface mounting IP65 polycarbonate enclosure of 130 mm wide by 80 mm high by 75mm deep with a mounting dimensions of 110 mm wide by 60 mm high.

Approvals

• CE for EMC compliance and electrical safety.

Relay Outputs

• Mechanical relay with form C contacts and a contact rating of 2 amperes resistive at 240VAC

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 and the Batch Set button to change the batch quantity.

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.

One or two stage valve operation

Two output relays are provided for single or dual stage valve control. Relay one will energise at the start of the batch and de-energise at the end of batch. Relay two will energise at a programmed delay after batch start and de-energise at a programmed quantity prior to completion of the batch. This function allows a slow start and slow shutdown of the batch operation.
