batching process starts.  

Batching process starts when operator gives the command to batch 

using either the CS keyboard or serial interface. Batching process stops 
automatically when the preset batch value is accumulated or when the 
operator gives the command (before the preset batch is accumulated). 

3.2.3.  To  make  "start-stop"  batching  possible  assign  zero  value  to 

Ve

  value. 

The operator starts and stops batching via serial interface or using the 
CS keyboard.

Batch accumulation stops either when accumulated volume equals 

the preset value or when the operator gives the command. In the "start-

3.2.5. Upon batching completion (after the preset batch volume is accumulat-

ed or the batching process is stopped by the operator) the flowmeter: 

-  Produces  through  a  universal  output  when  batching  is  completed  a 

pulse  or  a  logical  signal,  parameters of  which  depend upon  the output 
working mode 

- Writes  the  measured  batch  volume,  batch  accumulation  time,  average 

batching volumetric flowrate, batching start and stop date and time val-
ues to the batching log. 

Batching does not affect measuring and logging of current values.
