Instruction manual

APPLICATIONS
The following examples illustrate the most common applications to which the BIC-II may be applied. Refer to
the example which best resembles the intended BIC-II application.
SINGLE BIC-II - EXAMPLE
An IBM compatible computer is to display the material inventory on hand, contained in 8 vessels monitored by
a Milltronics level measurement product (e.g. AiRanger XPL).
Refer to Figures for BIC-II general mounting and interconnection instructions.
The AiRanger XPL should be mounted as close and central as possible to the 8 vessels to minimize the
amount of cabling required. Refer to the AiRanger XPL instruction manual.
The ASCII output from the AiRanger XPL should be connected to BIC-II \ PORT1. The RS-232 port of the
BIC-II must be connected to the computer’s communication port, (it must be COM1 if using the BIC-II test disk)
Apply power to all devices. Run the communication test program on the BIC-II Test Disk (refer to Appendices
\ BIC-II Test Disk). Install the computer communication software and perform the software and display system
set up as described in the instruction manual included with the software package.
