Batching Switch Option Installation Instructions

PNs 19368, 19369

The batching switch option, PN 19369, comes as a

complete unit in an FRP enclosure, with legend plate,

locking stop switch (mushroom button), and a

run/start/abort 3-way switch.

Figure 1. Batching Switch

The uncased switches (PN 19368) can be installed in

the front panel of an enclosure by drilling 7/8" holes

for the two switches. For models that have insufficient

room for switches on the enclosure, a special FRP

case is available for mounting the switch unit

remotely. The remote mounting kit includes case, 5

feet of 18 gauge cable, nylon ring, and cord grip for

sealing the cable connection to the indicator. Either

mounting method is waterproof and maintains a

NEMA 4X rating.
Both switches are wired into the indicator’s digital I/O

terminal strip as shown in Figure 2. Each switch uses

a separate digital input.
Once cables and switches have been connected to the

indicator, use the setup switch to place the indicator in

setup mode. Use the DIG I/O menu (Figure 3 on page

2), to configure digital input and output functions

using Bit 1 to set up BATSTRT and Bit 2 to set up

BATRUN.
When configuration is complete, exit setup mode.

Initialize the batch by turning the 3-way switch to

ABORT

, then unlock the STOP button (the STOP

button must be in the OUT position to allow the batch

process to run). The batching switch is now ready to

use.

Figure 2. Batching Switch Wiring Diagram, 920i Example

If no digital input is assigned to BATRUN,
batching proceeds as if BATRUN were
always on: the batch will start when the
3-way switch is turned to RUN, but the
STOP mushroom button will not function.

To begin a batch process, turn the 3-way switch to

START

momentarily. If the STOP button is pushed

during the batch process, the process halts and the

button locks in the IN position.
The

START

switch is ignored while the STOP button is

locked in the IN position. The STOP button must be

turned counterclockwise to unlock it, then released

into the OUT position to enable the 3-way switch.
To restart an interrupted batch from the step where it

left off, do the following:

1. Unlock STOP button (OUT position)
2. Turn 3-way switch to

START

To restart an interrupted batch from the first batch

step, do the following:

1. Turn 3-way switch to

ABORT

2. Unlock STOP button (OUT position)
3. Turn 3-way switch to

START

NOTE: Use this procedure (or the BATRESET serial
command) to initialize the new batch routine following any
changes to the setpoint configuration.
