2.4. OPERATOR INFORMATION AND FUNCTIONS
In general, the N414-P will always function at Operator level. The information displayed and the
functional keys available are dependent upon the SETUP-settings and the active function.
If the key-sign is shown, the related key(s) or functions are not accessible!
▪To enter a batch quantity
To change the PRESET-value, following procedure must be followed:
1) Press PROG: the word "PROGRAM" will be flashing,
2) Use the numerical keypad 0-9 and decimal position (set with SETUP 1.2 of the
configuration menu) to enter the desired value.
3) Set the new PRESET-value by pressing ENTER.
Fig. 8: Example display information during programming preset value
When data is altered but ENTER has not been pressed, the alteration can still be cancelled by
pressing RESET: the former value will be reinstated.
Please note that alterations will only be set after ENTER has been pressed!
▪Batch maximum / minimum
When you program a new value which is not valid - the batch size is too large or too small -
the increase or decrease-sign(e.g.) will be displayed while you are programming; the new
value will not be accepted but the minimum or maximum allowed value will be set.
Please note: under all conditions, a batch larger as 8999999 (or with decimals) cannot be set.
▪Tank fill symbol
The batch process can be visualized with the tank fill symbol. This graphical
representation can be enabled or disabled.
When the batch overfills the preset quantity by 2.5% the graph will show two overspill
arrows indicating this condition.
▪Starting up the batch process
The batch process can only be started up when "READY" is displayed. The batch process is
started by pressing the START-key. First the N414-P will reset itself and show the numerical
digits for verification purposes, followed by the initial zero (0)-indication and an empty tank
symbol. Depending on the SETUP-settings, one or two relays will be switched. The arrows at
the display indicate if the ACTUAL-value will be counting up or down.
Once the PRESET quantity is reached, the batch outputs will be switched off and the batch
process is ended. A next batch can be started with the same PRESET quantity or a new value
can be entered.
Please note: due to a Parameter setting (PRINT command), batching might be prohibited until the
receipt of the last batch has been printed.
The N414-P is equipped with a smart –self learning –overrun correction: at the end of the
process, the outputs will be switched-off earlier than the PRESET value is reached, taking the
overrun quantity of previous batches into account. The result is an accurate batch, even in
slowly varying circumstances. During overrun, a clock will be displayed and R1 / R2 will be
flashing.

▪Interrupting and ending the batch process
1. Press HOLD: Interrupts the batch process temporarily, the pump stays on and the actual
data is kept while the display shows HOLD (flashing).
2. Press HOLD, START, The interrupted batch is resumed.
OR:
Press HOLD, RESET: Stops the batch process at any time, the batch sequence is ended as
a completed batch and the remaining quantity of the batch is ignored. It is possible to print a
receipt as with a normal ended batch. Note that you cannot resume the batch.
3. When the batch is stopped and the display shows READY, press RESET for 3 seconds: The
batch value on the display is cleared, but the previous batch data stays available for printing.
Fig. 10: Example display information when interrupted
▪Power failure during a batch process
When during a batch a power failure occurs, the latest batch information is saved and made
available again at power-up. It is not possible to resume the batch. The information is only
available to print a receipt. After the power failure, the display will show “powerfail”. Before a
new batch is possible, the user must confirm the power failure by pressing the reset-key.
The following information is available on request:
▪Flowrate indication
During batching, the actual flowrate will be displayed after pressing the RATE-key. To return
to the main display: press RATE again or wait for 20 seconds.
▪Display total and accumulated total
When the TOTAL-key is pressed once, the resettable total will be displayed. After pressing
this key again, the accumulated total will be displayed.
The accumulated total cannot be reset. The value will count up to 9,999,999,999. The
measurement unit and the number of decimals are displayed according to the configuration
settings for preset. To return to the main display: press TOTAL again or wait for 20 seconds.
▪Clear total
Total can only be reset if no batch process is active (status: READY).
This function might not be available due to configuration settings.
The value for total can be re-initialized. To do so, select Total and press RESET:
the flashing text "PUSH RESET" will be displayed.
To avoid a reset at this stage, press another key than RESET or
wait for 20 seconds. If RESET is pressed again, TOTAL will be reset to zero.
The reset of total DOES NOT influence the accumulated total.
▪Display batch counter
The number of completed batches is displayed after pressing COUNT. To return to the main
display: press COUNT again or wait for 20 seconds.
▪Print a receipt ticket
Depending on the configuration settings, at the end of a completed or stopped batch:
a) The N414-P prints a receipt automatically (AUTO).
b) The N414-P shows the RECEIPT PUSH PRINT message. When you push the PRINT key,
the receipt is printed (on confirmation).
c) The last batch data stays available for printing until a new batch is started. Even after a
power failure, the last batch data can still be printed.

Cable and wire selection
The unit complies with the Directives and Standards for Electro Magnetic Interference. For a reliable
signal transfer and prevention of external signal interference (crosstalk), for signal wiring, the
recommendation is made for a shielded (twisted pair) cable which meets at least the Category 5
cable standard.
3.3.3. TERMINAL CONNECTORS
The following terminal connectors are available:
Fig. 15: Overview of terminal connectors - Standard configuration and options
Terminal 1 - 2; Lock keypad:
This function allows you to connect a lock or jumper in order to completely disable the keypad while
the functions from the terminals remain available. Note that certain keys on the keypad can be
locked-out with SETUP 9.5 or password protected: read par. 4.2.11.
Read “Terminal 8-11” to lock the batch process.
Terminal 3 to 5, 29 to 32; Flowmeter inputs and supply:
Three basic types of flowmeter signals can be connected to the unit: pulse, active pulse or coil. The
screen of the signal wire must be connected to the common ground terminal.
The input signal type has to be selected with the correct SETUP-function (read par. 4.2.8.).

Pulse-signal NPN / NPN LP:
The N414-P is suitable for use with sensors which have a NPN output signal. For reliable pulse
detection, the pulse amplitude has to go above 1.2V. Signal setting NPN-LP employs a low-pass
signal noise filter, which limits the maximum input frequency - read par. 4.2.8.
Fig. 19: Terminal connections - NPN signal input (typical)
Active signal:
If a sensor gives an active signal (read chapter 3). The detection levels are 50% of the selected
supply voltage; approx. 4V (8-1 DC) or 6V (12 DC) or 12V (24 DC).
Fig. 20: Terminal connections - Active signal input (typical)
Pulse-signal PNP / PNP LP:
The N414-P is suitable for use with sensors which have a PNP output signal. For reliable pulse
detection, the pulse amplitude has to go above 1.2V. Signal setting PNP-LP employs a low-pass
signal noise filter, which limits the maximum input frequency - read par. 4.2.8.
A sensor supply voltage of 8.2, 12 or 24V DC can be provided by terminal 29.
