The ABB Kent-Taylor Commander 320 electronic digital differential pressure booster pump controller with LED displays has been reviewed and found to comply with the applicable provisions of the Grade A Pasteurized Milk Ordinance (PMO). Compliance is based upon installation and operation in conformance with manufacturer specifications and include the following provisions:
- When installed the controller will comply with all applicable controls and test requirements outlined in the PMO section 16p, Appendix H and Appendix I.
- Compliance is based on use of a sanitary 4 to 20 mA pressure transmitter that is hard wired into the system. Removable terminal caps on the sensors shall be sealed by the regulatory agency.
- LED indicators on the C320 DPS replace the red and green lights referenced in PMO Appendix I, test 9.
- The C320 DPS is programmed using command instructions stored on an EPROM chip identified C320/2001, ISS4.
- Enclosed is a commander C320 configuration table reference which identifies basic values that will be found during set up and verification. Items of regulatory concern are identified with an asterisk (*). Pressure differential shall be set at least 1 psig.
- Configuration values are programmed by the manufacturer but are operator adjustable. They shall be set and verified on installation. Configuration values identified as a regulatory concern (*) and the EPROM chip identification shall be recorded and maintained by the plant and the regulatory agency. These will verified as a part of the required Appendix I tests by the regulatory agency.
- After configuration values are set the internal programming Jumper shall be removed. The instrument cover shall be sealed by the regulatory agency. (See attachment)
- The C320 DPS shall not contain a communication option.
