SCOPE OF THIS MANUAL
The sections in this manual have been arranged in such
a way that you can, step-by-step, install, program, operate
and, when required, troubleshoot the instrument.
The PC100 has many features. However, for normal
operation, you need to be concerned with only a few of them.
The MAIN MENU shows most of the procedures and
functions that are normally implemented to properly oper-
ate the unit.
The OPTIONAL MENU lists procedures or functions that
can be implemented but are not required.
The COMMUNICATIONS MENU should be referenced only
if you are connecting the PC100 to a serial printer or to a
computer or process controller.
OPERATION OF THE PC100
The PC100 is a batch controller. It will accept a signal
input from the transmitter, scale it to the desired unit of
measure, and send a signal to operate a valve, pump, alarm,
motor, etc.
In addition, it can count the number of batches, totalize
inventory, indicate rate of flow, provide high and low flow
alarms and communicate with printers and computers.
Other features include “slow valve closing” compensa-
tion, batch size limit, fail safe shutdown, and programmable
function disabling.
After all items of the MAIN MENU have been implemented,
select and program those in the OPTIONAL and COMMUNI-
CATIONS MENUS.
