Badger Meter PC200 Specifications

Industrial Process Controller

Model PC200

DESCRIPTION

The Badger Meter® Model PC200 is a microprocessor-driven
instrument designed for batching and filling both small and large
quantities, as well as displaying total, accumulated total and flow
rate. Designed to interface with our complete line of industrial flow
meters, it totalizes, indicates and controls fluid flows. Many years
of experience in the industrial market has allowed Badger Meter
to incorporate features indispensable in the liquid batching and
control operations.

OPERATION

Input signals in the form of pulses from open collector transistors
or dry contact closures can be scaled to any unit of measure for
totalization, instantaneous rate of flow indication and bidirectional
batch counting. At the preset quantity, a relay signal output can
be initiated to control valves, motors, alarms and other process
control devices.

FEATURES

This product is designed with a focus on:

• Ease-of-use with the numerical keyboard.

• Ruggedness for its application with a robust enclosure, keyboard
and proper mechanical relays.

• Clear operator information: all relevant data can be monitored in
one glance.

• User-friendly installation with quality plug-and-play terminals;
suitable for both AC and DC applications (standard).

• A wide range of inputs, outputs and functions for a broad
fulfillment in many applications.

OPERATOR ALARMS

No Flow Alarm

The PC200 offers a no-flow monitoring feature: if the flow meter fails
to generate a signal during a certain period of time, the unit shuts
off the control outputs and brings the batch controller into HOLD
and alarm mode. A “NO FLOW” alarm message displays.

Flow Rate Alarm

If, during a batch process, the actual flow rate is outside the allowed
range, a “LO RATE”, or “HI RATE” alarm message displays, indicating
the type of alarm: “LO RATE”, “HI RATE”.

FLEXIBILITY

• Count up or count down with end of batch at zero or at batch
preset value.

• Presettable set point and signal length for pre-warn output to
control valve’s first stage, sound alarm or control
injection pumps.

• Non-volatile memory preserves all programmed information
during power failure.

• DC input for mobile installations or backup power.

• Field-replaceable keyboard.

SERVICE

• Front panel or optional enclosure provides NEMA 4X (watertight
and corrosion-proof) protection.

• Self test alerts of any internal failure.

• Default sets all functions to factory programmed values.

• Plug-in output relays.
