1. Introduction
1.1 Product Overview
The FLOMEC EB11 “Easy Batch” is a dual stage batch controller designed to create an efficient
and accurate dispensing experience. Mountable either directly onto a FLOMEC flow meter or
remotely, and compatible with multiple types of industry signals, the EB11 allows the user to
control the volume of fluid dispensed into their process. The large 7-digit display with backlight
enables easy reading of the batch status is either light or dark conditions. Housed in an IP66/67-
NEMA4X Glass Reinforced Nylon enclosure for increased impact and corrosion resistance
particularly in wet washdown environments. The EB11 contains 2 digital NPN outputs with a
current rating of up to 300mA for direct control of solenoid valves, or to connect to relays to
allow for the control of large valves and pumps.
Environments
The Easybatch is designed to suit harsh indoor and outdoor industrial environments and
conforms to EMC directives. The instrument housing is made from UV resistant, glass reinforced
nylon (GRN) and is weatherproof to IP66/67 (Nema Type 4) standards. The Easybatch is suitable
for use in temperatures ranging between -200C and 600C and can handle up to 90% relative
humidity. However, condensation in the instrument should be avoided at all times.
Features
• Easy to use 2 button controller
• Dual stage operation
• Weather resistant and durable IP66/67 - NEMA4X Enclosure
• Easy to read backlit 7-digit display
• Settings retained after power loss meaning no reprogramming
Installation
Specifically engineered to be directly mounted on a variety of flowmeters, wall or surface
mounted, pipe or panel mounted. Various mounting kits are available. The instrument can be
self-powered or powered by an external DC supply.

2. Operation
2.1 Key Functions
The following keys are available:
Fig. 2: Control panel
Functions of the keys
START-key
This key is used to:
START the batch process.
to enter the preset value during programming.
to reset the total value.
gain access to SETUP-level; please read chapter 5.
STOP-key
This key is used to:
STOP / interrupt the batch process.
during the “READY”-status to select total and accumulated total.
during programming to select the digit.
START + STOP-key
Press both keys simultaneously to program and save the
PRESET value or settings.

2.2 Operator Functions
By default, the EB11 will act at Operator level. For the Operator, the following functions are
available:
To enter a batch quantity
To change the PRESET-value, following procedure must be followed:
1)
press START + STOP quickly and simultaneously: the word "PROG" will be
flashing, If the buttons are held too long there will be no response
2)
use STOP to select the digit position and START to increase that value,
3)
set the new PRESET-value by pressing START + STOP quickly and
simultaneously.
Fig. 3: Example display information during programming preset value.
When data is altered but START + STOP has not been pressed yet, then the alteration can
still be cancelled by waiting for 20 seconds: the former value will be reinstated.
The PRESET-value can be used time after time till a new value is programmed.
Starting up the batch process
The batch process can only be started up when "READY" is displayed. The batch process is
started-up by pressing the START-key.
Fig. 4: Example display information during the process.

Interrupting and ending the batch process
When STOP is pressed once, the batch process will be temporarily interrupted; the actual
values are not lost. At the display, the word "RUN" will be flashing. From this stage, the
batch process can be resumed with the START-key.
The process can be ended entirely at all times by pressing STOP twice in which case the
actual values are "lost" and the system returns to steady state: the batch cannot be
resumed.
When the batched quantity approaches the preset quantity, it might be that one of the two
outputs will be switched-off due a pre-close quantity.
Once the preset quantity is fully batched, the second or both outputs will be switched off.
This is the end of the batch process.
After batching, following functions are available:
Display information Function
MAIN SCREEN Actual and Preset value
SCREEN 1 Total and reset Total
SCREEN 2 Accumulated Total
Display total and accumulated total
A resettable Total and non-resettable Accumulated Total are available. Both, Total value
and Accumulated total can count up to 9.999.999 before rolling over to zero.
The unit and number of decimals are displayed according to the configuration settings for
Total.
Clear total
The value for Total can be cleared and reset to zero. This action does not influence the
value of Accumulated Total.
To clear Total, press the START-key when Total is shown on the display and the display will
show the flashing text “CLEAR NO YES”. When the START-key is pressed a second time,
Total is set to zero. To avoid clearing Total at this point, press the STOP-key or wait for 20
seconds.

3. Mechanical Installation
3.1 General Requirements
Installation of this product should only be carried out by suitably qualified/trained personnel
with an understanding of local regulations regarding electrical installations. It is recommended
that the instrument is installed in a location where it is shielded from extreme varying weather
conditions, and from chances of physical impact. Never install the instrument in an area which
will expose it to temperatures outside its specified operating temperature range.
3.2 Conduit Entries
Each instrument is equipped with three conduit entries which are factory sealed to maintain the
IP rating of the enclosure. To gain access to a conduit entry the integral moulded plug must be
broken out of the electrical entry. Inserting a suitably sized screw-driver or Allen-key into the
centre of the conduit entry plug and bend the plug back and forth until it breaks away from the
enclosure.
Always use IP rated cable glands when fitting cable to the instrument. If any electrical entries
are opened using the method above and are later not used, these must be sealed using a
threaded conduit plug with an appropriate IP rating (IP66 or IP67 is recommended)
3.3 Integral Meter Mounting
This instrument may be purchased as a meter mount display which will mount on the top of any
Flomec flow meter. For any instruments purchased as field mount, these may be converted to a
meter mount instrument by purchasing a new rear enclosure.
For mounting this instrument on a Flomec flowmeter with a process temperature of over
80oC/1760F there is a ‘Cooling Fin Kit’ available from the manufacturer which will allow this;
these may be retro-fitted in the field with minimal effort.

3.4 Wall and Pipe Mounting
Mounting of the instrument on a pipe or flat surface (such as a wall) can be accomplished using
the Wall Mount Kit (part no. 1522001) or Pipe Mount Kit (part no. 1522002) – see next page for
diagram.
3.5 Panel Mounting
Mounting of the instrument in a panel requires a 106mm (±2mm) / 4.10” - 4.25” round hole to
be cut in the panel – maximum panel thickness 6mm (1/4”). The Panel Mount Seal Kit (part no.
1504003) must be used to maintain weather protection when panel mounted. IP65 is possible
with the seal kit used. If the instrument is installed indoors the instrument may be panel
mounted without the seal kit.
