CB30 BATCH CONTROLLER DESCRIPTION
The CB-30 is a batch controller that accepts a signal input from the meter transmitter, scales it to the desired unit of measure
and—at a preset point(s)—sends a signal to operate the flow valve.
Other features include: automatic compensation for valve overrun, batch size limit, fail-safe shutdown, and manual batching.
UNPACKING, ASSEMBLING AND INSTALLING THE CB30
Unpacking the CB-30
OTE:N If damage to the shipping container is obvious, request that the carrier be present when the product is unpacked. All
claims for equipment damage during transit are the sole responsibility of the recipient.
After carefully unpacking the unit, check for any visible sign of damage. If found, notify the carrier for insurance purposes and
call the factory for possible replacement. Keep all packing material in the event that the unit must be returned to the factory.
OTE:N Operating temperature is 32…130° F (0…55° C) with a maximum humidity of 85% non condensing. Always select a
mounting location with proper ventilation and environmental protection.

Assembling the CB-30
The CB-30 can be mounted on the flow meter, on a wall or shelf, or in an instrumentation panel. Figure 2 shows the exploded
view of a meter or wall mounted unit. In this configuration the CB-30 is shipped separately and must be installed as shown
(see wiring diagrams for proper transmitter signal connections).
The basic unit is equipped for panel mount. To install:
1. Measure and cut mounting hole to the dimensions shown in Figure 1 on page 5.
2. Install gasket around the mounting bezel.
3. Insert the unit through the front panel cutout.
4. Secure the unit to the panel with the mounting clips.

WIRING THE CB30
The rear panel of the CB-30 controller contains connectors with screw terminals for connecting #28 to #14 gauge insulated
stranded wire (#18 gauge stranded wire is recommended).
A wire stripper and a small screwdriver are the only tools required. Figure 3 on page 8 through Figure 6 on page 11
illustrate step-by-step the proper wiring procedures for all standard and optional functions.
At installation, be sure to comply with the following requirements:
• Disconnect power to the unit before attempting any connection or service to the unit.
• Avoid using machine power service for AC power. When possible, a dedicated or lighting circuit is recommended.
• Do not bundle or route signal lines with power lines.
• Keep all lines as short as possible.
• Use shielded wire for all input wiring.
• Observe all local electrical codes.
TO PREVENT ACCIDENTS, POWER SHOULD BE CONNECTED ONLY AFTER ALL OTHER CONNECTIONS HAVE
BEEN COMPLETED.

BECAUSE THE CB-30 IS MICROPROCESSOR CONTROLLED, IT IS VERY IMPORTANT THAT THE POWER SUPPLY BE FREE OF
ELECTRICAL NOISE. AVOID USING POWER LINES THAT FEED HEAVY LOAD ELECTRICAL DEVICES SUCH AS PUMPS
AND MOTORS.
THE CB-30 POWER INPUT IS INTERNALLY FUSED AND PROTECTED FROM COMMON LINE NOISE BY A FILTERING NETWORK.

Flow Valve Solenoid Connections
The CB-30 uses an electronic optically isolated TRIAC to control the valve solenoid during the Batch process.
ALWAYS MAKE SURE TO CONNECT THE HOT AC LINE TO TERMINAL #21 AND THE NEUTRAL TO THE SOLENOID.
At the beginning of the Batch the normally open contacts will close, allowing the AC supply to energize the solenoid and open
the valve. At the end of the Batch the contact will open and interrupt the AC supply to the solenoid, therefore closing the
valve. The TRIAC is field replaceable.
TRIAC Rating SHARP S202T02F
Load Voltage 80…240V AC
Load Current 2 A
Transistor Output Terminal # 14 is activated at the same time as the TRIAC, for use with
external relays or transistor compatible input devices.

Pulse Transmitter Connections
The CB-30 is designed to accept pulses from open collector transistors or dry contact closure transmitters.
Before making any connections please make sure to comply with the following:
1. Always use shielded wire to protect the signal line from external noise (round shield to terminal #3).
2. Make sure the signal lines are not bundled with or touching power lines.
Figure 4 shows the connection to Model PFT-3E transmitter, usually supplied with a Badger Meter Industrial Turbo meter. The
Model PFT-3E provides an open collector transistor output for the CB-30.
