5600 Batch Controller Overview
The GF Signet 5600 batch controller is a refined instrument that combines complex control capability with operational simplicity. Select either Simple or Advanced mode to limit feature options to suit specific batch requirements and make changes to batch volume quickly and easily.
The 5600 batch controller has two relays and one analogue output providing the means to increase batch precision while dramatically reducing the possibility of water hammer in a system. Batch progress is displayed on the analogue dial, while the backlit LCD is used for calibration, set-up, and to show totalised flow volumes. The controllers require 12 to 24 Volts, AC or DC, and can be used with any GF Signet flow sensor with a frequency output. Add connections to two relays for two-stage shut-down or overrun alarm functions; connect a remote start/stop switch and use the end-of-batch pulse to trigger the next step in the process. A 4 to 20mA output is also available. Advanced features include a user-set security code, an automatic calibration option, and overrun compensation.
