Product Description
The Smith MeterAccuLoad III is a multiple
microprocessor-based electronic preset instrument
designed to control ratio or sequential blending of
petroleum or chemical products. Up to four products
per arm are possible for sequential blending. When
using ALS1 software for sequential blending, the
AccuLoad III allows up to four products on one arm.
When using ALD1 software, the AccuLoad III allows
up to four products on each of two arms. Both the
ALS1 and ALD1 software allow one two-product
ratio blender.
Optimum measurement accuracy is attained through
the continuous linearization of the meter factor with
changes in flow rates. The AccuLoad III is also
capable of maintaining back-pressure on the
measurement system using either automatic flow
optimization or a pressure transmitter. Volumetric
correction is calculated directly from published API
equations providing precise volumetric measurement
results.
Precise
temperature,
pressure
compensation, and density correction are options
that are available in the instrument.
The dynamic real-time display of the current actual
operating conditions of the system provide the
operator with valuable system information while the
system is operating.
The AccuLoad III provides several loading system
control functions: Additive injection, pump control,
alarm control, set stop, valve control, back-pressure
control, and automatic adjustment of final trip point.

Up to twelve different additive injectors can be

simultaneously paced or controlled through communications.

The AccuLoad III will monitor and totalize the

volume of additive injected by piston-type
additive injectors or smart injectors.

The AccuLoad III, if so programmed, will

automatically calculate and adjust the additive

10

A contact is available to start and stop a pump or

other electrically operated equipment as well as
a program code that will set the time delay of
that start or stop.

Two programmable alarm contacts are available.

They operate independently and can be
configured to close on a valve fault, on any
alarm, or not at all.

The AccuLoad III contains the intelligence to

control a Smith Meter Model 210 or 215 Digital
Control Valve, or an analog valve, that will
provide low flow start and multi-stage shutdown.

The AccuLoad III contains the intelligence to

automatically reduce the flow of product and
ensure the flow is within the pumping capabilities
of the system. Once the flow is able to continue
at the programmed high flow rate, the AccuLoad
III will increase the flow to programmed values.

The AccuLoad III, if so programmed, will

automatically adjust the final trip point of the
batch (Preset).

Critical functions, such as minimum flow rate, excess

flow rate, temperature detection, preset volume
overrun and memory retention, are monitored by
internal circuits. Any failure will signal closure of the
valve. Should the valve fail to close within a
programmable time period after having been
signaled, a contact is closed. This can be wired
through external relays to shut off the pump and/or
kill power circuits.
Environmental fluctuations within specified limits
have virtually no effect on the operation of this
control system. AccuLoad III is available in an
explosion-proof housing for hazardous locations.

How To Use This Manual
This manual is to be used as a guide for the
AccuLoad III.
This manual is divided into the following sections:
Introduction,
Operations,
Security,
Dynamic
Displays, Diagnostics, Program Codes, and
Appendix.
The "Operations" section describes the daily
operation of the AccuLoad III and what is required of
an operator to effectively load the product.
The "Security" section describes the levels of security
available within the AccuLoad III and how they can be
configured and utilized.

The "Dynamic Displays" section describes the
information that can be displayed by the AccuLoad III
while in the "READY" state or in the Run Mode.

product's next delivery only is adjusted to maintain the

correct blend ratio and preset amount.

The "Diagnostics" section describes the diagnostic

information that can be displayed by the AccuLoad III.

Ratio blending is the process of mixing multiple

products simultaneously during delivery to another
storage tank (e.g., a tanker truck). Ratio blending is
used primarily when loading speed is an issue, or
when the component products do not easily mix.

The "Program Codes" section gives a description of

each program code available in the instrument.
The Appendix lists the default values for the Factory
Initialization and a worksheet to write the parameters
that are programmed in the AccuLoad III.
The examples presented in this manual are for clarity
and operator convenience. The values might vary for
specific installations and/or operations.

Product Blending with AccuLoad

III
Sequential Blending
Sequential blending is the act of loading multiple
products, one at a time, into a storage tank (e.g., a
tanker truck). This is most commonly done with
products that mix very easily.
The AccuLoad III accomplishes sequential blending of
multiple products in the following manner. The ratio of
varying products is designated in the recipe as a
percentage of the total preset. These percentages
must total 100%. When the operator enters the
preset, the AccuLoad automatically calculates the
actual volumes of each product to be delivered. Each
of these is delivered as a type of "mini-batch,"
complete with individual high flow rates, first trip
volumes, and so on. The order of product delivery
must be included in the recipe definition.
If an incorrect product volume is delivered, the
volumes of the remaining products are adjusted
accordingly. If this adjustment creates a blend
intolerance alarm, the operator will be prompted to
stop or continue the batch. An exception to this rule is
when another delivery of the same product is
specified in the recipe. In this case, the volume of that

12

Ratio Blending

The AccuLoad III accomplishes ratio blending of

multiple products in the following manner. All products
required for the recipe are delivered simultaneously
through their own meters, and their corresponding
pumps and control valves. Two-stage valves are
inappropriate for ratio blending; only digital or analog
valves are acceptable. The ratio of the component
products is designated in the recipe as a percentage
of the total preset. These percentages must total
100%.
When the operator enters the preset, the AccuLoad III
automatically calculates the actual volumes of each
product to be delivered. As stated above, products are
delivered simultaneously, each through its own meter.
Flow rates are adjusted for optimal blend accuracy
while conforming to the programmed system flow
profile using Smith Meter's exclusive control
algorithm. Should flow rate variations occur, the profile
is dynamically adjusted to attain the best possible
mix.

CIVACON Grounding and Overfill

Monitoring
The AccuLoad III supports the CIVACON grounding
and overfill monitoring system. This feature requires
the addition of a CIVACON circuit board internal to the
AccuLoad's housing. The interface between the
AccuLoad III and the CIVACON system consists of a
serial communications link that requires a dedicated
communications port on the AccuLoad. The C IVACON
communications line may be multi-dropped to up to
eight separate AccuLoads, with the actual hardware
resident in one AccuLoad. For further information,
please refer to the CIVACON software specification.

AccuLoad Interface Control Board
The AccuLoad Interface Control Board provides
additional flexibility to the AccuLoad's standard
features. The optional AICB provides ten additional
metered additive injector systems. With the optional
AICB, the AccuLoad III with ALS1 and ALD1

MN06118L Issue/Rev. 0.5 (4/02)

13

firmware has the capability of handling up to twelve

metered injectors, twelve meter inputs, twelve
solenoid valve outputs, and twelve additive pump
outputs. The AICB can be mounted in the AccuLoad
III housing or in a standalone enclosure. One of the
AccuLoad III's four communication ports is required
to communicate with the AICB.

Run Mode
This is the normal driver-controlled mode of
operation where a preset volume of product is
entered into AccuLoad III. The flow is then initiated,
controlled, and stopped by the AccuLoad at the end
of the batch.

All preset and control operations can be performed

either locally through the keypad or through
communications. The operation described in this
section is based on AccuLoad III being operated
locally through the keypad. For information on
operating through communications, refer to the
AccuLoad III Communications Manual.

Section II Operations
Overview
The "RUN" Mode permits the operator to select the
recipe and the preset volume. The operator may also
start the preset volume or observe the dynamic
variables such as flow rate, temperature, volume
correction factors, transaction totals, and nonresettable totals. The AccuLoad III processes normal
start-up, flow control and shutdown sequences, and
operator-requested stops.
Product delivery is controlled by several program
code entries. Functions such as first high flow rate,
second high flow rate, low flow start, and first and
second trip points are automatically controlled and
monitored per their program entries. Safety and
volume accuracy functions including excess high flow,
low flow, overrun, and temperature probe failure are
also monitored per their program parameters. If at any
time an alarm occurs while in the Ready State or the
Run Mode, the AccuLoad III will attempt to shut down
the flow and a message indicating an alarm condition
will pop up over the current display.
When the delivery is completed, the display will read
as follows:

800

Unleaded

GAL

Batch#1
800IV

BatchComplete

The "batch complete" message will flash, alternating

with the time and date.
Depending on how the AccuLoad III is programmed, a
transaction can be ended by pressing the "PRINT"
button, by a communication command, or by an
external input. If the "STOP" button for the preset
position is pressed during flow, and if the Start after
Stop delay is programmed, the preset position will
display a screen similar to that shown below:

The operator can then press "START" and continue

the batch. If program code 211 is programmed to
disable the time-out, the display will read as above,
with the "Press Start to Continue" message
alternating with the time and date.

Remote Start/Stop
Two of the AC or DC digital inputs can be
programmed to be used for Remote Start/Remote
Stop operations. When the power is applied to these
contacts, the AccuLoad III will respond as though the
"START" or "STOP" keys have been pressed on the
keypad.

Additive Monitoring
Additive injector feedback provides the capability of
the AccuLoad monitoring the additive products that
are being injected. The AccuLoad III monitors the
injector feedback switches for a change of state and
counts the errors if no change is detected before the
next injection. An alarm will be set if the number of
errors exceeds the programmable maximum.

Master/Slave Communications
The firmware has been designed with a
Master/Slave type of communications, with the
AccuLoad as master and the Additive Injector
System as slave. The AccuLoad constantly monitors
the Additive System for its status, polls for additive
totals, and signals the system when to inject the
additive -- all through the communications line.

Section II Operations
The AccuLoad III communications package has also
been designed with a pass-through communications
mode. In this operational mode, the supervisory
computer can talk to the Additive Injector System
through the communication lines that have been run
to the AccuLoad and from the AccuLoad to the
Additive Injector System(s). (This is further described
in the AccuLoad III Communications Manual.)

Backup Communications Port

Note: This option applies only to Revision 10 firmware, or above.

The
communications
interface
allows
two
communications ports to be programmed for control.
(On revisions prior to Revision 10, only one of the four
communications ports could be programmed for "poll
and authorize" or "remote control.") This restriction
has been lifted to allow a backup automation system
to be set up on a second port. If can be configured
just like the primary system. It is imperative to ensure
that only one port is issuing control commands.
Because both communications ports are programmed
for control, and the AccuLoad will not refuse these
commands,
two
ports
issuing
commands
simultaneously could well result in chaos.
With two communication ports programmed for
control functions, a command from either port will
reset the communications timer. If the automation
system is designed such that the backup is to poll the
AccuLoad for alarms so that it can recognize when a
communications alarm occurs, then the time between
these alarm status requests must exceed the
communications timeout programmed. Otherwise,
this alarm status polling will be sufficient to prevent a
communications alarm. The communications timeout
for the first port programmed for host communications
will be used.

Additive Injector Selection

When the AccuLoad III is operating the additive
selection can be programmed to be either automatic
or manual, depending on how Code 801 of the
Systems Directory has been programmed.

Automated Proving Mode

The AccuLoad III firmware provides an automated
proving mode of operation. When the automated
proving mode is activated, the AccuLoad will
calculate the meter factor for a proving run based on
information that is obtained during the prove. The
operator can select the flow rate and meter factor
that is being proved through the keypad of the
AccuLoad. After the prove is complete the operator
enters the prover volume and prover temperature
and the AccuLoad will calculate the new meter
factor. The operator has the choice of downloading it
to the program or ignoring it. The AccuLoad also has
the capability of providing an average meter factor
over a maximum of ten proves. This feature allows
the operator to prove the meter on all four products,

The program codes represent parameters that can

be changed to enhance the performance of
AccuLoad III or to accommodate application
changes. There are three types of parameters in
AccuLoad III: codes that require numerical data,
codes where an option can be selected from a list,
and codes where alphanumeric data is entered.
Once a code has been selected, change the
programmed contents by entering a new value
through the keypad.

Numeric Data
The numeric data is entered into the program codes
via the keypad just as numbers are entered into a
calculator. The number of digits for each entry is
listed in the Reference section of this manual.
Example: To change the Level 1 Access Code for
parameter 151, do the following:

The AccuLoad III features unique Help Messages
that allow the operator to have at his fingertips the
ability to review what is required or what the options
are for an individual program code. Simply press the
"PRINT" key while in the Program Mode if the
message "Press PRINT for help" is displayed on the
bottom of the screen. Where there is room on the
display, some parameters will display the Help
message without requiring the PRINT key to be
pressed.
Example: To view the help message associated with
Load Arm Configuration parameter 002, choose "000

Menu without saving any changes.
Note: The menu option "Exit with Errors" is available only with
Revision 2 and above firmware.

Security
The AccuLoad III provides the ability to set up five
levels of security. Each level may have an access
code of up to four digits. Each parameter in the
database may be assigned a security level and may
not be changed unless that security restriction has
been met. This allows access to sensitive
parameters, such as those that affect volume
accuracy, to be restricted to a higher level of security
than other parameters that can be protected at a
lower level. The highest level of security is level 5;
the lowest is level 1. If one of the two security
switches is set for low level security, that switch must
also be active to access a higher level of security.
Security levels must be programmed contiguously,
beginning with level one. For example, if only two
levels of security are desired, they must be levels
one and two.
Note: The operator must have the highest security level
programmed in the unit in order to change any data on the
security menu.

The security menu can be found by selecting System

Directories from the Program Mode Menu, then
choosing General Purpose Directory, then Security.

Section III Security

From this menu, access codes can be programmed
for each level of security desired for the application.
If the operator wants all the parameters set to the
same security level, the "Set Parameter Security"
option can be used. Note that before a security level
higher than Level 1 can be assigned to a parameter,
an access code must be assigned to that security
level; otherwise, it will not appear on the menu of
level choices.

Passcode
Select the level of security desired on the Security
menu by moving the arrow to the selection and
pressing ENTER. This will display the screen from
which passcodes can be entered. The entry can be
from one to four digits with a zero entry removing the
access code requirement.

modification. The highest level of security
programmed is required when changing the
parameters on the Security menu.

Resetting Passcode
To reset the passcodes that are programmed in the
AccuLoad, Jumper J22 on the KDC board must be in
place. Moving the jumper from its parked position to
both pins (see the Installation Manual) and power
cycling the AccuLoad will temporarily reset all
passcodes to 0. This allows the operator to enter
Program Mode and set the passcode(s) as desired.
If the unit is power-failed and the jumper removed
before a Program Mode edit session has occurred,
the passcodes will revert to their former values.
Caution: Do not leave the jumper in position. If left
on the pins, the passcodes will be reset every time
the unit goes through a power cycle.
When the passcodes have been re-established,
move the jumper back to its parked position.

Dynamic Displays

Selecting "Add-Pak Diagnostics" from the menu

allows the operator to turn the pump on and off and
view pulse and volume information at one Add-Pak
injector at a time. These functions allow the operator
to test the additive injector I/O during a period of no
activity at the load arm. It is possible to manipulate
outputs and read pulse input data without
configuring the injector for use at the AccuLoad III.
Note that only injectors 3 through 12 are valid AddPak injectors; I/O and pulse input diagnostics exist
elsewhere on the AccuLoad for injectors 1 and 2.

below will appear. This diagnostic screen allows the
pump or solenoid to be turned on and off. The state
of the output will change when the ENTER key is
pressed with the arrow positioned at one of the I/O

the Add-Pak board. The displayed state only toggles
once the Add-Pak is queried about the state of the
I/O point after it has been commanded to change.
Therefore, if the Add-Pak is not communicating, the

The I/O diagnostic may be performed on an injector

not programmed as an Add-Pak. Because Injectors
1 and 2 cannot be Add-Pak injectors, AccuLoad
Injector 3 corresponds to Add-Pak Injector 1,
AccuLoad Injector 4 to Add-Pak Injector 2, and so
on. In order to perform a diagnostic, a Smart Injector
comm port must be programmed. Note that there is
a slight delay when exiting the screen as the
AccuLoad resets and verifies that the I/O points on
the Add-Pak are de-energized.

authorize the injector and energize the pump. This
cannot be done if the injection volume has not been
specified. Finally, the operator can request test
injections from this diagnostic screen. A counter will
display the number of injections completed thus far,
in addition to the pulse and volume information
(which will update as the test proceeds). By
comparing the reported volume to the actual volume
injected, the injector meter factor can be calculated
and programmed by the operator. The new meter
factor must be entered by the operator in Program
Mode using conventional methods. This diagnostic
provides no facility for the computation or
programming of the newly derived additive meter
factor.

This section describes the individual program codes

within the directories. The directories and
subdirectories are listed above each set of
parameters. The main system directories are as
follows. Please note that the numbers in
parentheses
are
reference
numbers
for
communications. In the database, pick list items
have a reference number for communications (e.g.
(2)). Through communications, a 2 would be sent to
the AccuLoad to program the item for that
parameter.
The program code explanations frequently list "fatal"
or "critical" warnings, or indicate that in some
circumstances, the code is "no entry." A fatal
warning is triggered by a selection that the AccuLoad
cannot accept and will not allow to be entered.
Possible causes include an entry that falls outside
an allowable range, or an entry that seriously
conflicts with a previous entry. A critical warning
signals that a selection is incompatible with a
previously configured program code. The AccuLoad
will accept the new entry, but the selection will
undoubtedly cause a problem in operation and
should be changed. "No entry" indicates that a
program code is unavailable and will not appear on
the menu, because previous selections make it
irrelevant. For example, ratio blending program
codes will not appear when sequential blending has
been chosen.

This entry limits the pulse output frequency for Pulse
Output 2 to a fixed range (0 3500 Hz) to avoid
over-speeding the device attached to the pulse input.
All of the intended pulses will eventually be
transmitted; the total period will be increased if
required to ensure the correct number of pulses is
output. A 0 entry disables this feature.

allows
a
three-character
alphanumeric message to serve as the flow rate unit
identifier (for example, GPM, LPM, BPH). The
available characters are as follows:

This parameter specifies whether a decimal or a

comma is to be used to separate the whole and
fractional parts of numeric data. The comma is
typically used in European markets. The selected
delimiter is used in the program mode and on run
screens and dynamic displays local to AccuLoad III,
in host communications, and on delivery reports.
Selections are as follows:

while flow rate is displayed.

System 121 - Dynamic Display

Timeout
This program code defines the amount of time, in
seconds, that dynamic displays will remain displayed
before AccuLoad III returns to the run or ready
screen. A zero entry for this program code will cause
the dynamic display to remain indefinitely, until the
operator presses CLEAR. The range of this
parameter is 0 99 seconds.
Help: Enter time in seconds before dynamic display
timeout. Zero allows displays to remain indefinitely.

System 122 - Auto Reset Timer

This program code defines the amount of time, in
minutes, before AccuLoad III will return to the ready
screen in the absence of key input by the operator.
The auto reset feature will remove AccuLoad III from
the program mode or end transactions in progress
when this parameter is set to a non-zero value. The
clock starts after each keystroke (unless flowing). If
another keystroke is not made in the time set in this
code, the unit will revert to the Ready display. Also, if
the driver's load has been completed and he hasn't
ended the transaction, the AccuLoad will return to
the Ready mode after the time has expired. The
range of this parameter is 0 99 minutes. An entry
of 0 disables this feature.
Help: Enter time in minutes with no operator activity
before AccuLoad resets to Ready Mode. Zero
disables this feature.

System 132 - Start Key Disable

This
one-digit
program
code
allows
the
enabling/disabling of the local "START" key and
remote start input. When the local "START" key is
disabled, it will not function at the AccuLoad III. The
only method for starting a batch will be through the
communication remote start command. Selections
are as follows:

(0) No (Enabled)
(1) Yes (Disabled)

Note: If the local "START" key is disabled at the AccuLoad III and
communications is in polling only, the AccuLoad III will not be able
to start a transaction until the parameters are properly set.
Note: The "START" Key Enabled selection will not prohibit starting
the batch via communications.

Help: If "START" key is disabled, and no comm

control is defined, transactions cannot be started.

System 133 - Default/Translated

Literals
This parameter allows the user to initialize all the
displays used in the AccuLoad III to either the default
(factory literals) or the translated literals. Translated
literals are only available if the translation has been
completed in the AccuMate and downloaded to the
AccuLoad. Selections are as follows:

(0) Default literals

MN06118L Issue/Rev. 0.5 (4/02)

(1) Translated literals

Help: Select factory-programmed default literals or

literals translated via AccuMate.

System 134 - Transaction ID

This nine-digit security number provides an
additional security level for operation of the
AccuLoad III. If this code is programmed with any
number other than 000000000, the driver or operator
is required to enter this security ID before a
transaction can be started. A 0 entry disables this
feature.
Help: Enter a nine-digit translation ID. Zero disables
this feature.

System 135 - Transaction ID Message

This code allows a 28-character alphanumeric entry
to prompt during the preset operations to enter a
security ID. This message should not be

This program code provides the operator with the
capability of setting the loading position up for the
number of batches allowed per transaction. The
range of this entry is from 1 to 10.
Fatal: Entry out of specified range.

Help: Enter the number of batches per transaction.

Warning: Changing this value will clear transaction
storage. Re-entering the same number will not clear
local storage because the size of the transaction
hasn't changed. Do not use System Code 136 to
purge transactions; the Erase Transaction Log has
been provided for this purpose. For more information
on Erase Transaction Log, refer to "Section V
Diagnostics" in this manual.

System 151, 152, 153, 154, 155 Access Code

These four-digit numbers permit entry into the
AccuLoad III's Program or Weights and Measures
program codes. The access codes must be entered
through the AccuLoad III keypad after the Program
Mode security contact has been closed (if a security
contact has been programmed and wired to a
switch). If this contact has not been closed, the
AccuLoad III will not allow entry into the Program
Mode. Once the security is set up for the parameters
in the unit the operator must enter the program mode
at the level assigned to the parameter(s) that are to
be changed. The range of these entries is from 0 to
9999.
Critical: Duplicate access codes are not permitted
Help: Enter Access Code for this security level.
Note: These access codes must be programmed in order,
beginning with security level 1. Intermediate levels cannot be
skipped.
Note: The operator must enter Program Mode at the highest
programmed security level to obtain access to these access
codes.

Section VI Program Codes

System 156, 157 - Security Input
Access Level
These entries are used to assign the relay to the
level of access code. For instance, if a parameter is
assigned level 1 access code and the security input
is assigned level 2 that parameter can be changed
without the switch being closed. If the parameter is
assigned level 2 access code then both the access
code and the switch closed would be needed to
change the parameter. The range of these entries is
from 0 to 5.

303 Blend Correction

Load Arm 301 Blend Tolerance

(Percentage)
This two-digit program code defines the blend
tolerance allowed for all delivered blends. The range
of this entry is 0.1 percent to 9.9 percent.
This blend tolerance is applied as a percentage of
the total batch delivered. If the delivered amount of
the product is within plus or minus the blend
percentage of the total delivery, no blend alarm will
occur.
A blend tolerance entry of zero allows no tolerance,
causing an alarm to occur unless all components are
delivered exactly.
For example, assume a blend tolerance percentage
of 2%, a preset of 1000 gallons, and a recipe
consisting of 25% of each of the four products. The
presets for each of the products would be 250
gallons. If 1000 gallons are delivered, the calculated
blend tolerance would be 20 gallons (2% of 1000
gallons). If any product delivered less than 230
gallons (250 20) a blend low alarm will be set. If
any product delivered more than 270 gallons (250 +
20), a blend high alarm will be set. (This is true only
if all 1000 gallons are delivered.)
Help: Enter the percentage of total preset to be used
as the blend tolerance.

Load Arm 302 Blend Tolerance

(Volume)
This three-digit code defines the blend tolerance as
a fixed volume. This volume represents the delivered

MN06118L Issue/Rev. 0.5 (4/02)

volume of product over or under the delivered

volume that will be allowed by AccuLoad III without
causing an alarm. The range of this entry is 00.1 to
99.9 units.

Help: Choose the level of blend correction that will

be allowed.

If both a blend tolerance volume and a blend

tolerance percentage are entered, the AccuLoad will
use the larger of the two for a specific batch. It is
recommended that the minimum volume tolerance
be programmed here to override the percentage
applied to very small batches.

701 Report Selection

Help: Enter the volume to be used as the blend

tolerance.

Load Arm 303 Blend Correction

This code establishes the type of Blend Correction
that will be allowed in case of a product overrun.
Three possible selections are available. The factory
default is "No Blend Correction." Selections are as
follows:

(0) No Blend Correction. If a product overrun

occurs during the loading process, which would
cause a blend alarm, no correction will be
allowed and the transaction must be ended.
(1) Self-Corrected Blend. If a product overrun
occurs during the loading process, the
AccuLoad III will automatically try to correct the
blend if the product in error is being loaded as
another component of the blend (i.e., error in
component 2 Regular, Regular also being
loaded as component 5). If the component in
error is not repeated as one of the components
that has not been loaded, the transaction will
have to be ended.
(2) Self-Corrected Blend/Complete Batch. If a
product overrun occurs during the loading
process, the AccuLoad III will automatically try to
correct the blend if the product in error is being
loaded as another component of the blend. If the
component in error is not repeated as one of the
components that has not been loaded, the
driver/operator will have the choice of ending the
batch or completing the loading of the original
preset amount.

This parameter provides the operator an automatic
method of adjusting the final trip point of the valve.
The use of this parameter is ideal when starting up
the system or when system hydraulics are changed
during maintenance. The AccuLoad III will
automatically set up the final (second) trip point
when this parameter is used.
If for some reason the system parameters change
and the final trip point needs adjusted, the operator
must enter Program Mode and reset the auto adjust
to again automatically adjust the final stage trip point

The AccuLoad III will calculate the current flow

tolerance using this percentage and the current flow
rate. This will be compared with the programmed
flow tolerance rate, with the larger of the two
tolerances determining when to adjust the valve.

Note: The batch volumes must be sufficient to allow the

Security is programmed and the valve does not
close within the programmed delay, a block valve
alarm will be triggered. The range of the entry is 01
to 99 seconds. For example, if the block valve delay
entry were set to 05 seconds once the delivery was
completed, the AccuLoad would allow 5 seconds for
the block valve to close, then an alarm would be
triggered. If Block Valve Security is not used, the
AccuLoad assumes that the valve has closed after

Section VI Program Codes

Product 310 - Master Meter Factor
This program code allows the operator to set a
master meter factor. This six-digit entry will be used
to restrict meter factors one through four (codes 302,
304, 306 and 308), to plus or minus 2% of the
master factor (i.e., the value entered here). This
range restriction applies only to meter factors which
are programmed for use (i.e., meter factor one
always and, if linearizing, all the factors used). Any
attempt to enter a meter factor outside the 2% range,
if installed, will cause a Critical Warning.
In addition, a master factor entry that causes the
current meter factors installed to be out of range will
cause those meter factors which are out of range to
prompt a Critical Message. This critical condition must
be corrected so that all used meter factors are within
the 2% range of the master factor before normal Run
Mode operations can occur. The range of this entry is
0 to 9.99999. Note that an entry of zero disables the
master meter factor.
Critical: Security level for parameter must be at top
2 levels. [Revision 5 and above firmware only]
Critical: Meter factor must be within 2% of the
master meter factor
Help: Restricts programmed meter factors to + or
2% of this master factor

Product 311 - Linearized Factor

Deviation
This code allows the operator to set a maximum
deviation between adjacent meter factors. This three
digit entry will be used to restrict deviation between
the adjacent meter factors in use to plus or minus
the entered percentage (i.e., the value entered here).
Any attempt to enter a meter factor outside the
entered range will cause a Critical Warning.
Also, a linearized factor deviation entry that results in
the current meter factors installed to be out of range
will set a program code alarm. The meter factors that
are out of range will be indicated by a DA alarm. The
meter factors at fault must be corrected so they are

Product 501 Maintenance Pressure

This code allows the entry of a maintenance
pressure to be used when a pressure transmitter is
not installed or working, but pressure-related
calculations are desired. The pressure units will be
dependent on the entry made in the Pressure Scale
Select code (System 501). This five-digit entry has a
range of 0.0 to 9999.9 pressure units. A nonzero
value entered here will override an analog pressure
input.
No-entry if Pressure Units = Not Used
Help: Select maintenance pressure if pressure
probe is not installed or to override probe

the compressibility factor. If, however, API table 6C

or 54C is selected, then a compressibility factor must
be entered here if pressure compensation is desired,
as the AccuLoad has no density with which to
calculate the compressibility factor. The factor is
used as the following: XXXXX equals the factor
entered and it is applied as 0.0000XXXXX.
Note: This value will represent the "F" variable in the CPL
equation.

No-entry if Pressure Units = Not Used

Help: Enter compressibility factor used to calculate
CPL, where 0.0000XXXXX is the compressibility
factor.

Product 503 High Pressure Alarm

Product 502 Pressure Coefficient

This code will allow for the entry of a Compressibility
Factor that will be used by the system to calculate
the CPL. This entry should be zeroed if a
densitometer is installed or a reference density is
entered. In these cases, the AccuLoad will calculate

Product 511 Differential Pressure

This three-digit entry will allow the operator to select
the delta pressure, in PSIA, bars, kPa or kg/cm 2
(units dependent on the Pressure Units Select
entry). This is the additional pressure to be

Section VI Program Codes

maintained above the vapor or back-pressure. If
AccuLoad III is controlling flow with a two-stage valve,
no alarm is issued and flow is not halted if the
pressure drops below the programmed limit
determined by the vapor pressure and differential
pressure. Therefore, this Differential Pressure feature
should not be used with a two-stage valve. In this
situation, the low-pressure alarm must be set high
enough to ensure that the pressure does not fall
below the product's vapor pressure.
The range of this entry will be 0 to 9999 pressure
units. An entry of 0 will disable pressure control of
the valve by a pressure transducer.
Note: A non-zero entry here will override any other
programmed type of back-pressure flow control.

Help: Enter back-pressure to be maintained above

product vapor pressure

Product 512 - Minimum Backpressure Flow Rate

This four-digit entry will allow the operator to select
the Minimum Back-pressure Flow Rate that will not
cause an alarm. That is, anytime the flow rate is
being controlled because of insufficient backpressure and it falls below this programmed rate, a
back-pressure alarm will be issued and the valve will
be closed. The range of this entry will be 0 to 9999.
Help: Minimum flow rate allowed during backpressure control before alarm.

Product 513 - Minimum Backpressure Flow Rate Timer

This two-digit entry will allow the operator to select
the minimum time, in seconds, allowed for the unit to
achieve a desired flow rate. If the flow rate is not
reached in this time, the flow rate will be lowered by
a percentage because of insufficient back-pressure.
(This percentage may be programmed in the Backpressure Reduction, Code 504). If the flow rate falls
below the back-pressure minimum flow, an alarm will
be issued and the valve will be closed. The range of
this entry will be 0 to 99 seconds.

137

If a differential pressure is entered in Product 511,

this pressure must be attained within this time period
after a flow rate change. If not, the flow rate will be
lowered due to insufficient back-pressure.
Note: This entry is used for Automatic Flow Optimization
(AFO).
Note: "00" disables any back-pressure control (including
the differential pressure method.)

Help: Minimum time in seconds to reach desired

flow rate during back-pressure control.

Product 514 - Back-pressure %

Reduction
This two-digit entry will allow the operator to select
the percentage of flow rate to be used during
insufficient back- pressure conditions or insufficient
flow conditions. (For example, an entry of 90% will
cause the flow rate to be reduced to 90% of the
current rate during insufficient back-pressure
conditions.) The range of this entry is 50 to 90
percent.
Note: This entry is used for Automatic Flow Optimization
(AFO).

Help: In back-pressure control, the flow rate will be

reduced to this percentage of the current flow rate.
Range is 50% to 90%

Product 515 - Back-pressure Flow

Recovery Pressure
This four-digit entry allows the programming of the
amount of pressure above the vapor pressure of the
product that must be read by the AccuLoad III before
it will attempt flow recovery to the programmed high
flow. The range of this entry is from 0 to 9999
pressure units. This parameter is used in conjunction
with a pressure transmitter input. Note that this
pressure must be sufficiently higher than the
differential pressure entered in Product 511 to
prevent flow rate oscillation.
Help: Enter the differential pressure above vapor
pressure to attempt flow recovery

MN06118L Issue/Rev. 0.5 (4/02)

Product 516 - Back-pressure Flow

Recovery Timer
This two-digit entry programs the amount of time the
AccuLoad III will wait to attempt flow rate recovery if
a pressure reading is not available in the system.
The range of this timer is from 0 to 99 minutes. Zero
will disable the flow recovery feature. This parameter
provides a method of flow recovery that does not
require the use of a pressure transmitter input.
Help: Enter the time interval in minutes to attempt
flow recovery.

Product 521 - Vapor Pressure

Calculation Method
This parameter defines the method that the
AccuLoad III will use to calculate the vapor pressure
of a product. Selections are as follows:

(0) Straight Line Approximation (Requires points

of the curve to be entered in codes 522 through
527).
(1) As outlined in GPA TP-15 (Gas Processors
Association Technical Publication 15). (Uses the
reference density of the product in the
calculations).

Critical: GPA-TP15 requires corrected density

[temp. used, API table selected]
Help: Choose vapor pressure calculation method.

Product 522, 524, 526 - Vapor

Pressure
These three codes allow the operator to select the
vapor pressures, which are used to define the vapor
pressure versus temperature curve. This curve is
used to calculate the current vapor pressure. The
pressure(s) are defined beginning with the lowest
pressure ascending to the highest pressure. The
range of these entries is 0 to 9999.9 pressure units.
The unit for this entry is dependent on the entry
made in the Pressure Units Select Code. The vapor
pressure calculation, determined from the entries
made here, will be used both for differential backpressure control and in the CPL equation as the "Pe"
entry. Therefore, careful consideration should be
given in determining these points and their accuracy.

Critical: Vapor pressures must be entered in

ascending order
No-entry if Vapor Pressure Calculation Method =
GPA-TP15
Help: Enter vapor pressure at corresponding product
temperature.

Product 523, 525, 527 - Vapor

Pressure Temperature
These three codes, with four-digit entries, allow the
operator to select the temperatures that will be used
to define the vapor pressure versus temperature
curve. This curve is used to calculate the current
vapor pressure. These temperatures correspond
with the vapor pressures. The range of these entries
is
+999 degrees to -999 degrees. The units for these
entries is as programmed in the Temperature Units
Select Code. The vapor pressure calculation,
determined from the entries made here, will be
used both for differential back-pressure control
and in the CPL equation as the "Pe" entry.
Therefore, careful consideration should be
given in determining these points and their
accuracy.
Critical: Corresponding vapor pressure not
programmed
No-entry if Vapor Pressure Calculation Method =

Recipe 50 Clean Line Deduct

This program code allows the selection of the
product from which the clean line volume (if
installed) is to be deducted. In the Ready Mode,
when a recipe is selected and a preset amount is
entered, the preset is divided among the products
according to the percentages programmed in the
recipe. The clean line volume is deducted from the
preset volume of the product selected here. If the
product selected is not part of this recipe, a critical
warning will be issued. The range of this entry is one
through four.

MN06118L Issue/Rev. 0.5 (4/02)

Note: Zero may be entered if no clean line volume is

installed.
For example, assume a recipe with 50% of products
1 and 2. The clean line is 50 gallons of product 4. A
preset of 1000 gallons is entered. This preset is
divided among products 1 and 2: 500 gallons each.
If product 1 is selected here as the product from
which to deduct clean line, then the product 1 preset
would be 500 50 = 450 gallons. When START is
pressed, products 1 and 2 would deliver 450 gallons
and 500 gallons, respectively. When products 1 and
2 have been delivered, 50 gallons of the clean line
product (product 4) will be delivered.
Help: Select the product the clean line volume is

Minimum Recipe Preset (Read Only)

This display shows the minimum volume of this
recipe that can be delivered. This is a read only
program code. When presetting a batch, the entered
preset is compared with the recipe minimum preset
that is displayed here. If the entered preset is less
than the minimum, a warning message will be
displayed and the batch will not be delivered until the
preset amount has been corrected.
The minimum preset is calculated using the
percentages programmed in the recipe and the
minimum product batch or second trip amount
associated with each product. In the formulas below,
if the minimum product batch is less than the second
trip volume, the second trip will be used.
If clean line is not installed:

AccuLoad III

Metered Injector Alarms

OR: Overspeed Metered Injector
This alarm occurs if an injection is attempted before the previous one is complete.

NA: No Additive Pulses Alarm

This alarm occurs if an injection is attempted, but the previous injection is still in progress and no pulses have
been registered.

RA: Additive Frequency Alarm

Section VII Appendix

This alarm occurs when the meter consistently falls out of programmed tolerance a programmed number of times,
and the additive volume is too high.

KA: Low Additive Volume

This alarm occurs when the meter consistently falls out of programmed tolerance a programmed number of times,
and the additive volume is too low.

Note: Add-Pak parameters and mappings are fixed and are set automatically.
Note: If one Add-Pak injector is programmed to operate, then all addresses are reserved and may not be used for any other injector for the
entire system in an address bank. Banks are 100 through 110.
Note: When using ALD1 firmware, special attention should be paid to the Configuration 020 parameter (Number of Injectors). This number
provides the number of injectors to be used, starting at Injector #1 and running sequentially to Injector #12. If an injector number is not
programmed, its position is still counted.
Example: Only two injectors are needed and these are Add-Paks. Injector positions 5 and 6 are configured as Add-Pak injectors. The
parameter Configuration 020 must be set to at least 6, since the accounting starts at Injector #1 and continues sequentially to Injector #6.
Injectors 1 through 4 count against this number, even though they are not currently configured.
