Calibrate Analog Output using the Learn Feature Perform Excitation Output Test Examine or Dump Data Logger RS-232 Serial Port The BC110 has a general-purpose RS-232 Port which may be used for any one of the following purposes: Transaction Printing Data Logging Remote Metering by Modem (optional)
In the modem mode, the BC110 is assumed to be operating in a remote metering role. In addition, the BC110 will be capable of initiating a call to a designed telephone number in the event of a metering malfunction.
INTS The BC110 Flow Computer should be located in an area with a clean, dry atmosphere which is relatively free of shock and vibration. The unit is installed in a 5.43" (138mm) wide by 2.68" (68mm) high panel cutout. (see Mounting Dimensions) To mount the Flow Computer, proceed as follows: a.

5.1 F RONT ANEL PERATION ONCEPT FOR The BC110 is fully programmable through the front panel. Please review the following usage summary before attempting to use the instrument. HELP On-line help is provided to assist the operator in using this product.
PAGE 1 5 5.3 R ATEMETER OTALIZER PERATION The Ratemeter/Totalizer mode is used primarily to monitor flowrate and accumulated total. The relays can be used to trigger on flow rate, total, or alarms. 5.3.1 Password Protection for Rate/Total mode After an Operator and/or Supervisor Password is entered in the setup mode (see section 6.3, SETUP PASSWORD submenu), the unit will be locked.
PAGE 1 6 5.3.5 RS-232 Serial Port Operation in Rate/Total mode The RS-232 serial port can be used for programming (using the Setup Disk) or for communicating to printers and computers in the Operating Mode (Run Mode). PC Communications: The Setup Disk also allows the user to query the unit for operating status such as Flow Rate, Flow Total, Presets, etc.
PAGE 1 7 flowrate. When the Batch Overrun is set, the unit will compensate for batch overruns by computing an averaged overrun value from the last four batches. This average is used to internally adjust the batch setpoint to minimize overrun. The maximum drain time must be set greater than the slowest valve response time for proper operation of this feature.
PAGE 1 8 5.4.3 Relay Operation in Batcher mode Up to four relays are available (two standard) for alarm outputs. Preset 1 (RLY1) is reserved for batch amount, Preset 2 (RLY2) is reserved for prewarn. (see section 5.4 Batcher Operation for Relay 1 & Relay 2 functions) Preset 1 (RLY1) and Preset 2 (RLY2) are easily accessible by pressing the PRE 1 or PRE 2 key on the front panel.
RONT ANEL PERATION ONCEPT FOR ROGRAM The BC110 is fully programmable through the front panel. Please review the following usage summary before attempting to use the instrument. 6.1.1 Setup Mode: MODE CHANGES Pressing the MENU key will offer selections of RUN, SETUP, TEST. RUN is the normal operating mode for the instrument.
PAGE 2 0 6.2 EZ S ETUP The EZ Setup routine is a quick and easy way to configure the unit for the most commonly used instrument functions. This setup assumes that you are measuring Volumetric Flow using a high level, DC Pulsing flow sensor.

A value set at which any flow measurements read below this value will be ignored. Low Pass Filter A low pass filter passes low input frequencies while blocking high frequencies. In the BC110, this is the maximum input count speed to be encountered in an application. It is expressed in counts per second (Hz).
