Precision Digital PD6210 is a 1/8 DIN analog input (4-20 mA, 0-5 V, 1-5 V, etc.) digital batch controller specifically designed for single and multi-stage batching applications. It provides excellent but straightforward batch control capabilities with features such as pre-close relays and automatic overrun correction for more accurate batches and intuitive front panel buttons for simple operation and menu navigation. The pre-close deactivates a specific relay on the batch controller before the batch is complete to allow slower fill rates and increased accuracy. Automatic overrun correction keeps the batch size accurate over time and with system wear. With expansion module relays, up to eight-stage batching is possible; each additional stage-batching relay has an individually programmable pre-close amount. Like all meters, the PD6210 batch controller includes UL/C-UL listing and CE marking, a NEMA 4X front, and AC or DC power options.

High Gate: 2.0-999.9 seconds; this function determines how long to wait for pulses before the display goes to zero. This function is used to display slow pulse rates.
Note: The combination of the low and high gate functions makes it possible to have a fast display update for fast pulse rates while displaying slow pulse rates, if needed. For example: If the low gate is set to 1.0 second and the high gate to 999.9 second, with a fast pulse rate the display is updated every second; with a slow pulse rate the controller is capable of waiting up to 999.9 seconds before calculating the rate, making it possible to display a very slow rate down to 1 pulse/999.9 second (0.001 pulse/second).

Applications
Batch Control
A ProVu batch controller can be programmed for a wide variety of applications. Setup is easy for single or multi-stage batching. Automatic overrun correction keeps the batch size accurate, even over time and with system wear. It can record grand total, or nonresettable grand total with a time base of seconds, minutes, hours or days. The user can program a conversion factor, and configure a non-resettable grand total, and password protection.
Single and Multi-Stage Batching
The ProVu can be used as a single or multi-stage batch controller. Relays assigned to the total act as batch control relays, with additional relays beyond the first including a preclose value. The preclose deactivates the relay before the batch is finished, to allow slower fill rates and a more accurate batch finish. With expansion module relays, up to eight-stage batching is possible. Each additional stage batching relay has an individually programmable preclose amount.
Single Stage Batch Control
Multi-Stage Batch Control
Manual Multi-Stage Batch Control Operation
1. System Setup
Both valves are closed with an empty barrel in place. The batched total is displayed in the upper display, the preset is selected for the lower display.2. Batch Start
The START button is pressed, with both valves open. The barrel begins to fill.3. Preclose Valve
When the batch total reaches a value of 50.00 (Preset [55.00] Preclose [5.00]) the full-flow valve closes. The fill rate of the tank slows as a result.4. Completed Batch
When the batch total equals the preset amount, the restricted-flow valve closes. The barrel is now full. If some overrun occurs, the next batch will adjust for this offset amount to maintain accuracy.5. Change Preset
After placing a new, empty barrel, a new preset fill amount may be selected with the Batch key, while the process is stopped.6. Begin New Batch
Press the START key and a new batch will begin. With both valves open, the process continues.7. Pause/Stop
At any time, the STOP button may be pressed, once to Pause the process, or twice to cancel the batch, which stops the process.
