DESCRIPTION

The Badger Meter® Series 3050 BTU monitor is an economical, full-featured, compact unit designed for HVAC sub-metering applications, and general hydronic thermal transfer systems.

Outputs include one mechanical relay and one solid-state pulse output, both featuring unit/pulse and setpoint control independently based on flow or energy rate/total, supply return, or delta temperature readings. Also driven by the same variables, an optional analog 4…20 mA or 0…20 mA output is provided. Additionally, the optional USB, RS-485 Modbus, and BACnet/MSTP provide high-level communication.

A two-line by 16-character 3/8 in. (9.5 mm) high backlit LCD display is configured by the user to display flow rate, flow total, energy rate, energy total, supply and return temperatures or delta T. In addition to many pre-programmed units of measure, many custom units can be created during field setup.

The two required temperature inputs can be standard Badger Meter two wire 10k thermistors, or three wire 100 Ω platinum RTDs. A unique programming feature permits custom RTD or thermistors to be accommodated.

The flow sensor input features flexible scaling options and signal type selections that permit the use of most Badger Meter sensors, or other frequency sine/pulse or linear analog devices.

OPTIONS

NEMA 4X panel mount conforms to DIN standard 96 mm x 96 mm for meter size and cutouts. NEMA 4X wall mount is available as an option.

Advanced features include:

• Infinite Impulse Response Filter (IIRF) smoothes the flow rate, temperature, and energy rate calculations. This proprietary smoothing software provides accurate energy calculations by compensating for a wide variety of flow and temperature signal variables.

• Temperature sensor zeroing effectively makes any two similar sensors a matched pair at the actual operating temperature.

• Password restricted access to programming, reset total, or both.

• Non-volatile memory of totals and field configuration, without need for battery backup.

• Efficient switching power supply permits 12…24V AC/DC operations.

PROGRAMMING

Programming is very easy and can be done using the five front panel push buttons, or optionally by using Windows® based software via a USB port.
