Volume displayed = Number of input pulses
Scale Factor
If the Scale Factor is set to the flowmeter’s k
factor, the batch controller will display volume
in the flowmeter’s engineering units.
e.g. For a flowmeter having a k factor of 70,
the Cal Value may be selected to provide the
required display
Scale Factor Least significant

6.5.4 Scaling ( For 4/20mA input )
The 4/20mA analogue output from a flowmeter
represents the rate of flow, which may be
displayed by the BA454D batch controller in
any engineering units. See section 6.6.3
Total batched volume is calculated by
integrating the flow rate during the batching
period.
The batch controller Scale Factor, which is a
dividing factor that may be adjusted between
0.001 and 999999, defines the arithmetic
relationship between the units of measurement
of the rate and the total batched displays.
Scale Factor = Units of batched display
Units of rate display
When calculating this Scale Factor, the
required units of measurement for the total
batched display must be converted to those
used for the rate display as shown in the
following example.
The BA454D rate display represents litres per
second but the total batched display is required
in UK gallons.
Scale Factor = Units of batched display
Units of rate display
= 1 gallon = 4.5461 litre
1 litre 1 litres
Scale Factor = 4.5461
If the rate display and the total batched display
are required in the same units of
measurement, the Scale Factor should be set
to 1.0
000001.
Set Scale Factor
6.5.5 Batch D.P.
The position of the decimal point in the batch
display, which determines the resolution of the
display, is set by this function. In operation
leading zeros are suppressed
00000000.
Set Display D.P.
The function also determines the position of
the decimal point in the Batch Size, Batch Limit
and Pre-Stop functions.
6.5.6 Batch Legend
The units of measurement of the batched
volume can be entered with this function. Up
to six upper and lower case alphanumeric
characters may be used. Some of the operator
screens will display this legend against the
batch display.
