Relay Module
In addition to the Open Collector output in the 9900
base unit, the 9900-1BC has a Relay Module which
adds two programmable dry-contact relays. The
Open Collector output in the base unit uses the
Relay 1 setting in the menus. The Relay Module is
assigned to relays 2 and 3 in the menus.
Dry-contact relays are electromechanical switches
with a moving contact armature. They are suitable
for many general-purpose applications, AC or DC,
including AC loads up to 250 V. Install RC Filter
Kits, 3-8050.396, on relays used to switch motor or
inductive loads.
• Two SPDT dry-contact relay inputs
• User programmable
• 250 V, 5 A maximum resistive loading (AC).
• Can switch line voltage (typically 120 to 240 VAC)
• Can switch DC voltage (< 30 VDC @ 5A)
• Larger voltage and current ratings than Open
Collector outputs (30 VDC, 50 mA maximum)
Batch Module
Convert a 9900 Transmitter (Generation II or later)
to a Batch Controller by plugging in a
Batch Module (3-9900.397).
Optional Module Wiring:
• Wire an external button or keypad (customer
supplied) to stop, start or resume a batch remotely.
• Wire an external input that can inhibit a batch
from starting.
• The Indicator LEDs on the front panel of the
9900-1BC show the status of Open Collector
(relay 1) and relays 2 and 3.
• Hysteresis and time delay are adjustable for
each relay.
To remove modules:
1) Remove power from the 9900
2) Remove the Relay module
3) Loosen bottom screw of Batch module
4) Carefully grip and squeeze the tabs at the top of
the module to release
5) Pull module away from the unit
6) Do not bend the connecting pins
CAUTION:
Switching active loads (usually inductive) can cause
contact arcing sufficient to damage the relays. The
RC Filter Kit or “snubber” (part number 3-8050.396)
is available as an accessory to reduce or eliminate
these damaging effects. Recommended for inductive
loads greater than 50 VAC (remote relays, solenoids,
pumps, etc.).

WARNING! Georg Fischer Signet strongly recommends against the use of 4 to 20 mA current loop controlled
devices, such as actuated valves, for use as Batch control elements. On power up the 9900 current
loop will supply a 12 mA signal on the current loop output while the system initializes. Improper
programming of the loop completion current or the loop error current can cause unintended
actuation of the current loop controlled device. These can cause an unexpected discharge of
material from the batch system.

Wiring Tips:
• Do not route the sensor or DC power cables in conduit containing AC power
wiring. Electrical noise may interfere with sensor signal.
• Routing the sensor cable in grounded metal conduit can help prevent
electrical noise and mechanical damage.
• Seal the cable entry points to prevent moisture damage.
• Only one wire should be inserted into a terminal.
• Splice double wires outside the terminal or use appropriate wire ferrule,
not to exceed 2 mm (0.08 in) diameter.
Tools Required
• Phillips screwdriver
• Flat-head screwdriver
• Wire strippers
System Start-up: Step 2
Wire the transmitter connections with the power off. Keep any 4 to 20
mA and relay-actuated output devices that are connected to it offline at
this time. Wire the sensor (pg. 8), power (pg. 9) and Open Collector and
relay(s) (pg. 10).
Next step: System Setup (Step 3).
All wiring connections to the 9900-1BC are made via removable terminal plugs.
In general:
• Terminals accept 12 to 24 AWG wire.
• Strip 7 mm (0.28 in.) of insulation from wire tips and tin bare ends to
eliminate fraying.
• Insert wire tip or ferrule completely into the terminal and secure with
the screw.
• Do not allow any AC leads that may be connected to the internal relays to
come in contact with low voltage wiring.
CAUTION:
DO NOT bundle Relay Module
wiring with other wiring.
Doing so may cause injury and/or damage to
9900 Transmitter, Relay Module, and Batch Module.
• Minimize handling of plug-in modules to reduce the possibility of
damage due to ESD.
• Handle modules by the edges. Never touch any exposed circuitry or
contacts.
• Wear an anti-static wristband or stand on an anti-static mat, or
keep one hand touching a properly grounded pipe or other properly
grounded piece of metal when handling modules.
CAUTION:
Avoid Electrostatic Discharge (ESD)

2551 Technical Notes:
• When the blue jumper
illustrated is placed over
both pins, the 2551-XX-11
(Blind Magmeter)
outputs an open collector
frequency signal.
When the jumper is
removed (or placed over
one pin for storage)
the 2551-XX-11 outputs a
Digital (S3L) signal.
2551 & 2552
Technical Notes:
• Either Frequency or
Digital (S3L) may be used.
• The frequency output will
be displayed as positive
flow regardless of the flow
direction.
• Signet recommends
configuring the 2551
with the Digital (S3L)
output because it is more
accurate.
• Input sensor type is
selected by choosing
between “SENSOR FREQ”
and "SENSOR S3L" in the
INPUT menu.
• 5 VDC power is provided to
the 2551 Magmeter by the
9900-1BC. No additional
power is required.

The 9900 Open Collector (R1) output provides high-speed switching capability. Signal frequencies can reach
400 pulses per minute.
The 9900 Open Collector (R1) output connection is dependent upon the type of circuit being controlled by the output.
Most indicating instruments or control system inputs require a signal voltage of 0 to 5 V (TTL or CMOS logic levels)
or 0 to 24 V. Therefore, the 9900 Open Collector output circuits must be equipped with a pull-up or pull-down
resistor (not supplied), and a quality regulated 5 to 24 V (depending on the application) power supply (not supplied)
is recommended to function properly.

• Faster ON/OFF switching capabilities than mechanical relays
• Can switch DC voltage only (< 30 VDC, < 50 mA)
• Not recommended for use with inductive loads
Fail-Safe Behavior
No matter the setting, the Open Collector output turns off if the 9900 loses power. This must be taken into account
when evaluating system failure consequences. If the system layout requires a “closed” or “on” condition for the
output in case of power loss, a mechanical dry-contact relay (NC contacts) must be used instead of the Open
Collector (R1) output.

(see Reset Total, page 18).
This mode is useful to trigger a reminder when a
process is due, as for a backwash cycle or filter
change.
TWO STG – Two Stage:
This function is designed to prevent overfilling or
to minimize water hammer. Both the mainline relay
and the bypass relay are energized when the batch
starts. The mainline relay then de-energizes at a
programmed batch percentage, allowing flow to
continue through a smaller bypass line to reduce the
fill rate (see diagram). After the batch is dispensed,
the bypass relay de-energizes, completing the
sequence.
NOTE: If Relay 1 is selected for Two-Stage operation,
relay 2 defaults to Bypass. If Relay 2 is selected,
relay 3 defaults to bypass. If Relay 3 is selected,
relay 2 defaults to bypass.

Start Batch Press Up or Down arrows to select the desired batch number.
Press ENTER to start selected batch. Selected batch alternately displays on the bottom line of the display.
(Confirmation screen or password screen are user-selectable in INPUT menu.)
Available batches determined by the number of stored batches whose size is not zero.
Resume/Cancel Batch Displays when a batch is stopped without completing. Press the key to select
either RESUME or CANCEL and then press ENTER to either resume the batch or cancel it. A confirmation
or password screen for resuming a batch is user selectable. This screen will not display if the batch
reaches completion.
Override Batch occurs when the user temporarily changes a batch size in View Mode. The change is
temporary and is only active until a batch is run. After any batch is run, an overridden batch reverts back
to its stored size. Only one batch can be overridden at a time. If the user overrides a second batch, the
first overridden batch will revert to its stored size. The batch name will display OVERRIDE while it is
overridden. A batch is overriden by pressing to edit the batch size.
Manual Batch is used for “topping off” a batch. The Batch Controller will open the valve as long as the
user simultaneously holds down the and keys.
Note: A manual batch will cancel a batch in the RESUME/CANCEL state.
Source Volume shows the calculated remaining source volume. Displays if SOURCE VOLUME is ON.
Reset source volume with key.
Note: If PWD REQUIRED is set to YES, you may be prompted to enter your password. PWD REQUIRED
setting can be changed in the OPTIONS menu.
Reset Volume? Confirmation screen for resetting SOURCE VOLUME. Press or to select YES and
press ENTER to reset source volume.
Resettable Totalizer displays the resettable totalizer. Press to reset the totalizer. Note: If PWD
REQUIRED is set to YES, you may be prompted to enter your password. PWD REQUIRED setting can be
changed in the OPTIONS menu.

press ENTER.
Permanent Totalizer displays the Permanent Totalizer value (note the "P" indicating Permanent).
Pressing displays units of measure.
Overrun displays the amount of overrun volume detected after the 9900-1BC deactivates the batch relay,
triggering valve closure. Overrun resets each time a new batch starts.
Batch Count shows the number of batches which have run to at least 90% of completion. Press to
reset Batch Count.
Note: If PWD REQUIRED is set to YES, you may be prompted to enter your password. PWD REQUIRED
setting can be changed in the OPTIONS menu.

K-Factor Set K-Factor (pulses per unit volume) according to Flow Sensor manual.
Min: 0.0001, Max: 999999. Cannot be zero. Default = 60.0000.
In Simple Mode, the K-Factor will be used for all batches. In Advanced Mode, there is one K-Factor for each
stored batch. See NOTE in Calibration section for Volume Calibration procedure.
T-Factor sets the volume of each count of the Totalizer as a multiple of the volume unit of the K-Factor.
Min: 0.0001, Max 999999. Cannot be zero. Default = 1.0000.
Volume Calibration Enter the dispensed volume so the 9900 can calculate a K-Factor.
Refer to Volume Calibration section on page 24 for procedure.
Note: Relays and 4-20 mA output will be suspended during Volume Calibration (does not apply for Relays
used for Batch or Two Stage mode). Relays in pulse mode will suspend pulsing during Volume Calibration.
Select Overrun Compensation (ADVANCED Mode only) Automatic or Manual.
Automatic Overrun Compensation (ADVANCED Mode only) measures flow during the batch cycle and
any excess flow after the batch stops is considered an overrun. The batch controller then automatically
reduces the next batch size by the overrun value. For the next batch the batch contact will de-energize early,
closing the flow control valve early and eliminating batch overrun.
Manual Overrun Compensation (ADVANCED Mode only) When Manual Compensation is enabled,
a batch will be stopped when the dispensed batch volume reaches an amount equal to the batch size
volume minus the Manual Overrun Compensation volume.
Note: To disable Overrun Compensation, select Manual Overrun Compensation and set value to 0.00.
Calibration Date Enter date of calibration (mm-dd-yyyy) and initials of calibrator (ii).
Customize Label If desired, a custom name can be entered. Enter 13-character string.
Default = BATCH.
Freq or S3LIf your flow sensor is configured for frequency output, select FREQ.
If configured for Digital (S3L) output (recommended), select S3L. Default = FREQ.
Batch Size Set batch size and batch name of up to ten stored batches.
Setting batch size to zero hides the batch in VIEW Mode. One batch must be non-zero.
Note: Same batch names can be assigned to multiple batches.
Batch Units Enter up to four characters to define Batch Units.
Default = GAL. (Actual calculations are determined by the K-Factor).
Divide this unit by Flow Timebase to get Flow Units.
Totalizer Units Identifies the Totalizer Units. It has no effect on any calculation.
Default = GALLONS.
Flow Units Identifies the Flow Units. It has no effect on any calculation.
Flow Units equal Batch Units divided by Flow Timebase. Default = GPM.
Flow Timebase Select S (seconds), M (minutes), H (hours), or D (days). Default = M.
Batch Confirmation Select Batch Confirmation option. Choose ON, OFF, or PWD (password).
Default = OFF.
