Scope of this manual
This manual contains information concerning the installation,
operation and maintenance of the Badger
®
ER-10 and ER-
10H electronic registers. To ensure proper performance, the
instructions given in this manual should be thoroughly
understood. Retain the manual in a readily accessible location
for future reference.
Installation, wiring and programming of either unit is fairly
simple and straight forward. This manual is designed so as to
provide you with a step by step guide for this purpose.
Examples are provided only to facilitate programming.
Your specific application will most likely require a different
set of numbers for proper programming.
The troubleshooting section attempts to illustrate the
most common problems that can be encountered, their
most likely cause and the recommended solution. If a
problem persists, please contact our technical support
group at:

Specifications
The ER-10 and ER-10H are external or battery powered
electronic registers that display rate of flow and total flow.
They have independent programmable scale factors for
rate and totalization, allowing you to program these dis-
played values in different but meaningful engineering
units, such as gallons per minute and total gallons.
The LCD display with 8 digits for total, and 4 digits plus
legend for rate, provides easy viewing at a glance. For
conditions where ambient light is poor, the display can be
backlit by connecting an external DC (10-30 VDC) power
supply. A single unit can accept NPN or dry contact inputs
for low or high speed applications.
The
ER-10 and ER-10H
models are powered by one 3V
Lithium battery.
Setup on either model is quick and easy as the two front
panel keys are used to scroll through and preset values
in all program mode choices.
