Not counting.

If the Batcher does not count with the flowmeter connected

and flow passing through it, first check the connections and

then ensure the DIP switches on the rear of the instrument

are set as per section 7.

It is possible to manually test the input circuit of the Batcher

by setting the input configuration for a Reed Switch (see

Section 7) and pulsing across the signal (+) and (-) with a

wire link.

When doing this, the scaling factor should be  set to 1 and

the  resolution to whole numbers.

Counting erratically

This can be caused by two factors:

-  setting the input circuit incorrectly
-  lack of shielding on the input.

Shield  the  input  signal  with  the  shield  earthed  at  the

Batch  Controller  only.

Instrument acting erratically

Erratic  operation  can  be  the  result  of  severe

electrical  interference. 

Considerable  attention  has

been  given  to  designing  the  Batch  Controller  to

withstand  electrical  interference.

However, in extreme cases, loads may be encountered which

are exceptionally inductive and may require additional

protection.

One measure is to use an RC Suppression Network as

described in Section 8.

Another remedy for this problem is to use an isolating relay

to switch the load, and use the Batcher to drive the

isolating relay.

The  isolating  relay  should  be  mounted  away  from  the

Batcher  and  from  signal  wiring.
