BACnet
The Series 3100 flow monitor can be configured to communicate on a BACnet RS485 MSTP (Master Slave Token Passing)
system . Configuration is via the front panel keypad .
The following settings are required:
• Baud Rate:
[9600, 19200, 38400 or 76800] . The recommended factory default is 9600 .
• MSTP Address:
[0…127] . Each device must have a unique address .
• MSTP MAX master: [0…127] . This range must be greater than the highest address on the network .
• Device Instance:
[00000000…99999999] . This is a unique identifier for each device in the system .

Note 2: The installer selects the units of measure from a list of pre-programmed units or creates custom units . BACnet
transmits in the same units as displayed on the front panel .
USB Communication
The Series 3100 flow monitor is ordered with an analog output option card . A five-pin USB connector is also included . As
much as possible, the commands mimic the use of the front panel controls .
To use this feature, the following are required:
• PC with USB ports and Windows HyperTerminal or other communications software
• FTDI Virtual COM port drivers http://www .ftdichip .com/FTDrivers .htm
• USB 2 .0 A to Mini-B 5-pin cable
To communicate using HyperTerminal:
1 . Make sure that the monitor has a Mini-B five-pin connector on the back panel . The Series 3100 must have an analog
output option card installed and be marked Series # 3100-1x .
2 . Verify that the appropriate FTDI Virtual COM port drivers are installed on your computer .
3 . Plug the USB 2 .0 A end of the cable into a USB port on your computer . Plug the Mini-B five-pin end into the back of
the monitor .
4. Run Hyper-Terminal ( From the Windows Start Menu) and create a new connection, with a
name and ICON.
5. Configure this Port with 38400 baud, 8 data bits, 1 stop bit, no parity, and no flow control.
6.
When connected a “
>
“ symbol will appear in the upper left corner of the main
HyperTerminal display screen.
7.
Press the “Enter Key”. Both the Rx and Tx LED’s on the front of the Series 3000 should
flash once, and
the “Badger Meter DIC … Software Version…” text message should appear.
The Series 3000 is now communicating ready to take commands from the list below.
