This manual describes the installation of Durant models 5775X-40X and 5775X-
41X. Because of unique features, these counters may be used in a variety of appli-
cations. However, they are intended for use with pulsed output flowmeters; this
manual will focus on their use in flow applications.
This manual starts with a general description of flow applications and the Eclipse.
This should provide a useful reference point for the installer. Installers are the un-
sung heroes of industry who laugh in the face of the three most-feared words in the
English language: Some Assembly Required. Installers are often given a vague
objective and some equipment; in this case pipe, valves, a flowmeter, and a counter,
with which to accomplish the mission. It is then up to the installer to use his knowl-
edge and ingenuity to make the system work.
The installation section of this manual follows the description. This provides de-
tailed information on mounting, wiring, and programming the Eclipse. The installa-
tion section uses terms that were explained in the description. Installation is nor-
mally the most complex aspect of the Eclipse, therefore the installation section is
the largest section of this manual. The bad news is that the Eclipse is very versatile,
and through wiring and programming variations, can solve a variety of applications.
The manual must document all the possibilities. The good news is that most flow
applications will not require all of the wiring and programming choices that are
possible with the Eclipse. The key for the installer is to know what must be accom-
plished and to know what is in the Eclipse with which to do it.
There are three final sections in this manual. Run mode describes the operator
functions of the Eclipse. Diagnostics explains the self diagnostics and error mes-
sages that may appear on the display. The last section is specifications.
Description
Forty (40) model variations of the Eclipse are covered by this manual. The Eclipse is
either AC powered or DC powered. It consists of a base unit totalizer with 12 pos-
sible combinations of optional outputs, or a base unit batch control with 8 possible
combinations of optional outputs. While reading this description, it is important to
remember two things. First, all models can display flow rate. Second, the batch
control, known simply as the “batcher” to its fans, does all of the functions of the
totalizer. Check the part number breakdown chart on the next page to determine
what your unit is made up of. Read the description section(s) to identify how those
functions will be used in your particular application.
