The Model AC'154 controller has been specifically designed to operate up to four concrete admixture dispenser systems. Solid-state circuitry and microprocessor technology give the AC'154 superior operating characteristics. The AC-154 allows Manual or Automatic modes of operation with the ability to batch concrete admixtures in total ounces, ounces per 100 wt of cement, or ounces per cubic yard. During the batching process, the AC-154 provides visual LED
indication of the zero point, fill, fill complete, discharge, and overfill. In addition to providing timers to empty discharge lines and sequence discharging of admixtures, the AC-154 has a Discharge Hold function and four safety features. The safety features include overfill protection, no-start on zero indication (to prevent double batching), no-flow/meter fail-safe, and shutoff on batch error. The AC-154 is also designed to accept a count input from Badger Meter® Model PM-5 and CT reed switch transmitters and Model PFT-1E electronic scalable transmitter. Zero and overfill inputs can be accepted from Model DP-10 probe Amplifier or any probe Amplifier that provides a dry contact closure when the probe is covered.

OPERATION
Solid-state circuitry and microprocessor technology allow you to operate the AC-154 in a Manual or Automatic mode by selecting a switch on the front panel. In the Automatic mode, you set a batch size by using the pushwheel switches on the front panel. You can set the batch size in total ounces, ounces per 100 wt cement, or ounces per cubic yard. Use the four toggle switches to select the admix dispensers to be operated. To dispense admixture automatically, press and release the Start button. The digital display zeroes out and begins counting up to the preset amount, as the admix dispenser bottle fills. When the preset amount is reached, the AC-154 goes into the discharge cycle. Discharge operation depends on the position of the Discharge Hold switch. When ON, the discharge cycle stops. When OFF, the discharge cycle continues until the material reaches a zero level. In the Manual mode, only one admix dispenser can be operated at a time. When a dispenser is selected (by using one of the four toggle switches), press and hold down the Manual Fill button to fill the admix dispenser bottle. As the bottle fills, the LED displays the amount. When the desired amount is reached, release the Manual Fill button to stop the fill cycle. To discharge manually, press and hold the Manual Discharge button. The material discharges until a zero level is reached. When the discharge stops, release the Manual Discharge button.
