INTRODUCTION
The Badger Meter®
Data Industrial® Series 3050 BTU flow monitor is an economical, full featured, compact unit designed for
sub-metering applications .
The two line × 16-character alphanumeric display shows any combination of
Energy Rate
,
Energy Total
,
Flow Rate
or
Flow Total
.
You can configure both preprogrammed and user-defined units of measure .
The Series 3050 BTU flow monitor accepts pulse or linear analog input signals . Like all Badger Meter flow monitors, the
Series 3050 BTU flow monitor may be field-calibrated . For Badger Meter sensors,
K
and
offset
numbers are entered, while other
pulse or frequency output sensors may use a
K-factor
only . Analog inputs are fully programmable for slope and intercept .
The flow monitor requires two temperature units and can accept 10 kΩ thermistors, 100 Ω three-wire RTDs or user-defined
custom thermistors or RTDs .
The panel-mounted model has a NEMA 4X rated front panel and conforms to DIN Standard dimensions, 96 mm × 96 mm, for
meter sizes and panel cutouts . An optional NEMA 4 wall-mount model is also available .
Programming
You can program the flow sensor from the front panel by entering a
K
and
offset
or only a
K-factor
, depending on the flow
sensor used .
Programming is menu driven . All data is entered using the LCD/keypad interface . A password gate is included to prevent
unauthorized access to programming parameters . Programming flexibility is extended to units of measure . In addition to
several factory units of measure, the Series 3050 BTU flow monitor software lets you create custom units for rate and total .
The Series 3050 BTU flow monitor provides one Form C solid-state relay, and one solid-state switch output . Both are fully
programmable as
Pulse
or
Volume
, or
Setpoint
control-based
Flow Rate
,
Flow Total
,
Energy Rate
,
Energy Total
,
Temperature 1
,
Temperature 2
or
Delta T
. For pulse output, you can program both the resolution and the pulse width . The
Setpoint
control is
extremely versatile with fully independent
set
and
release
points, each with its own
time delay
.
LEDs on the front panel indicate status of both the relay and pulse outputs .
All calibration information, units of measure and flow totals are stored in a non-volatile memory that does not require battery
backup for data retention .
Options
• Analog output
• USB
• RS485
• BACnet
• Modbus®
• Wall mounting
SAFETY INFORMATION
The installation of the flow monitor must comply with all applicable federal, state, and local rules, regulations, and codes .
Failure to read and follow these instructions can lead to misapplication or misuse of the flow monitor, resulting in personal
injury and damage to equipment .
UNPACKING AND INSPECTION
Upon opening the shipping container, visually inspect the product and applicable accessories for any physical damage such
as scratches, loose or broken parts, or any other sign of damage that may have occurred during shipment .
OTEE:
N
