9900-1BC Batch Controller Manual
Proper operation of the batch module requires Generation II, version 25-04 software in the 9900
Transmitter. To determine the software version of the 9900 Transmitter, please see instructions
below.
If your unit has an older version of software, please contact your local GF sales office for
upgrade instructions.
Instructions for determining the version of the 9900:
1.
Press and Hold the Enter key until the ENTER
MENU screen is displayed.

WARNING!
Georg Fischer Signet strongly recommends against the use of 4 to 20 mA current loop controlled
devices, such as actuated valves, for use as Batch control elements. On power up, the 9900
current loop will supply a 12 mA signal on the current loop output while the system initializes, if an
error occurs, such as a missing Digital (S
3
L) sensor or overrun, the current loop will go to the error
current of 3.6 or 22 mA. Improper programming of the loop completion current or the loop error
current can cause unintended actuation of the current loop controlled device. These can cause an
unexpected discharge of material from the batch system.
