INTRODUCTION
The PROVU®PD6210 and PD6310 are easy to use batch controllers ideal for
simplifying independent batch control operations where local control is preferred
to expensive and expansive plant operation systems.
The controller comes programmed for easy front panel start, pause, stop, and
batch size (preset) changes. The bottom display can be programmed to display
rate, grand total, batch count, or preset by cycling the Stop (F3) button.
Single and multi-stage batching is possible with up to 4 on-board relays and 4 with
the external relay module. Each batch control relay may have a unique preclose
amount when used for multi-stage batching.
Manual start batching is default, but automatic batching with a restart after a pro-
grammed time delay from the completion of the last batch, is also possible.
Overrun correction adjusts the closing of the batch control relays to adjust for
inaccuracies from batch to batch. This increases accuracy over time as systems
wear out.
At least two SPDT relays are included for use in batch control or rate alarms.
The batch controllers also share all common PROVUSeries features, including an
isolated 24 VDC transmitter power supply and Modbus RTU Serial communica-
tions.

Note:
Testing was conducted on PD6200 and PD6300 series meters
installed through the covers of grounded metal enclosures with
cable shields grounded at the point of entry representing
installations designed to optimize EMC performance. All
hardware is identical to the PD6210 and PD6310 controllers.

SAFETY INFORMATION
!
CAUTION: Read complete
instructions prior to installation
and operation of the controller.
WARNING: Risk of electric
shock or personal injury.
Warning!
Hazardous voltages exist within enclosure.
Installation and service should be performed only by
trained service personnel.

INSTALLATION
There is no need to remove the controller from its case to com-
plete the installation, wiring, and setup of the controller for most
applications. Instructions are provided for setting up a
12/24 VDC powered controller to operate from 12 VDC and for
changing the transmitter power supply to output 5 or 10 VDC
instead of 24 VDC, see page 20.
Unpacking
Remove the controller from box. Inspect the packaging and
contents for damage. Report damages, if any, to the carrier.
If any part is missing or the controller malfunctions, please con-
tact your supplier or the factory for assistance.
Panel Mounting Instructions
Prepare a standard 1/8 DIN panel cutout – 3.622" x 1.772" (92 mm x
45 mm). Refer to Figure 1 for more details.
Clearance: allow at least 6.0" (152 mm) behind the panel for wiring.
Panel thickness: 0.04" - 0.25" (1.0 mm - 6.4 mm).
Recommended minimum panel thickness to maintain Type 4X
rating: 0.06" (1.5 mm) steel panel, 0.16" (4.1 mm) plastic panel.
Remove the two mounting brackets provided with the controller (back-off the
two screws so that there is ¼" (6.4 mm) or less through the bracket. Slide the
bracket toward the front of the case and remove).
Insert controller into the panel cutout.
Install mounting brackets and tighten the screws against the panel. To
achieve a proper seal, tighten the mounting bracket screws evenly until con-
troller is snug to the panel along its short side. DO NOT OVER TIGHTEN, as
the rear of the panel may be damaged.

Configuration for 12 or 24 VDC Power Option
Warning!
Do not exceed voltage rating of the selected
configuration.
Controllers equipped with the 12/24 VDC power option are shipped
from the factory ready to operate from 24 VDC.
To configure the controller for 12 VDC power:
1. Remove all the connectors.
2. Unscrew the back cover.
3. Slide the back cover about 1 inch.
4. Configure the J9 jumper, located behind the power connector, for 12
V as shown below.
