INSTALL THE PC100XP
This section deals with the procedures and recommen-
dations on how to install Badger’s PC100XP electronic
batch controller in hazardous locations.
Except for the assembly and installation procedures, all
other instructions are identical to the standard PC100 and

DESCRIPTION
The PC100XP is a standard batch controller mounted in
an explosion proof enclosure. The enclosure is FM ap-
proved for CLASS 1, DIVISION 1, GROUPS C & D and CLASS
II, GROUPS E, F & G environments. The enclosure complys
with CSA and UL standards. It is also rated for NEMA 3, 4,
7 & 9 service (watertight).
OPERATION
The operation of the PC100XP is identical to that of the
PC100 controller. On the PC100XP model, programming of
functions and control commands is done mechanically
through explosion proof push buttons.
Note: To prevent accidental or unauthorized tampering,
deactivate all programming or command functions (except
for those required during production operation) using func-
tion #41.

The standard PC100 and the XP enclosure are shipped
separately to facilitate installation and wiring.
