Product Description
The Badger MeterData Industrial Series 3000 Flow Monitor is an economical, full featured, digital flow monitor.
The two line x 16-character alphanumeric display can be configured by the user to display flow rate and flow total. The panel
meter has a NEMA 4X rated front panel and conforms to DIN Standard dimensions, 96 mm X 96 mm, for meter sizes and panel
cutouts. An optional NEMA 4 wall mount is also available.
The Series 3000 Flow Monitor accepts pulse, sine wave or linear analog input signals. Like all Data Industrial flow monitors, the
Series 3000 may be field calibrated by the user. For Data Industrial 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.

Programming the Series 3000 Flow Monitor
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 3000 software permits the custom units for rate and total to be created by the
installer.
The Series 3000 Flow Monitor provides one Form C solid-state relay, and one solid-state switch output. Both are fully
programmable as either Pulse/Volume, or Set Point control. For pulse output, the installer can program both the resolution
and the pulse width. Set Point control is extremely versatile with fully independent set and release points, each with its own
time delay.
Available options:
•Analog output
•Analog input
•Single flow channel iInput
•One control relay output
•One programmable pulse output

Installation & Operation Manual
INSTALLATION
Mechanical Installation
The Series 3000 Flow Monitor can be either panel mounted or wall mounted.
Location
In any mounting arrangement the primary concern is easy viewing and convenient operation of the keypad. The unit
generates very little heat, so no consideration need be given to cooling or ventilation. However, prolonged direct sunlight can
damage the front panel so some level of shading is recommended, especially if installed in a tropical climate.
Panel Mount Installation
The Series 3000 panel mount is designed for through panel mounting, which allows access to the back of the unit. The Series
3000 Flow Monitor is secured to the panel by two draw brackets shown in Figure 1 below. Also refer to Figure 1 for flow
monitor and panel cutout dimensions.

Power Supply Wiring
The Series 3000 Flow Monitor requires 12-24 VDC/VAC to operate. Check the Specifications on page 23 for DC current draw
and AC Volt-Amp requirements.
A fused circuit is always recommended. Connect the positive of the power supply to the Series 3000 terminal marked
(ACL/DC+), and connect the negative of the power supply to the Series 3000 terminal marked (ACC/DC-).
If a Badger Meter Data Industrial plug-in power supply (Model A1026, A-503) is being used, connect the black-white wire to
the terminal marked (ACL/DC+) and the black wire to the terminal marked (ACC/DC-).

Flow Sensor Wiring
The Series 3000 flow sensor inputs are extremely versatile, designed to accept either two-wire or three-wire pulse inputs
(Data Industrial 200 Series, 4000 Series) or Analog inputs. Although different rear panel terminals are used, all parameters are
set with the LCD/keypad interface. There are no internal or external jumpers, switches or potentiometers to move or adjust.
The following pulse input types are accommodated.
•Pulse-DI: Used for all Badger Meter Data Industrial Flow Sensors. Provides an internal pull-up resistor and uses “K”
and “Offset” values for calibration.
•Pulse–K Factor: Accepts non zero-crossing inputs but provides no internal pull-up, classical “K” ( pulses/gallon)
values for calibration.
•Pull-up-K Factor: Provides an internal pull-up resistor and uses classical “K” ( pulses/gallon) values for calibration.
NOTE: All the above pulse input types wire the same as shown in Figure 4. See the Programming Flow Chart on
page 16 for required input configuration.

Analog Input
As an alternative to the pulse inputs, the Series 3000 can accept an Analog input. The input is non-isolated, but can accept
0-1VDC, 0-5VDC, 0-10VDC, 0-20mA and 4-20mA with both factory-defined and custom units of measure.
Low impedance 100 Ohm input for current inputs optimizes performance and flexibility or loop power supplies. Both the
low- and high-end scaling are independent and field configured by the installer.

Installation & Operation Manual
Solid State Switch and Form “C” Output Wiring
The Series 3000 Flow Monitor has one Normally Open (N.O.) solid state switch, and one solid state form “C” relay. Check the
Specifications on page 23 for maximum voltage and current ratings for each type output.
These outputs are completely independent, electrically isolated, and can be programmed as either Pulse or Set Point outputs.
When the “Totalizer” function is selected, the unit of measure and resolution are independent from the displayed units and
can be programmed where one pulse occurs once every 0000000.1 to 999999999. of units selected, with any pulse width
from 0001 to 9999mS.
When the “Alarm” is selected as the unit of measure and the resolution is independent from the displayed units, it allows the
unit to be programmed as either a high or low rate Set Point. Since the Set Point, Release Point and their associated time
delays are fully independent, this output can be either a classical high rate or low rate alarm, depending on the settings
selected. When design planning, keep in mind that although both of these outputs can be programmed as alarm points only,
the relay provides both N.O. and N.C. contacts. The switch is a simple N.O. contact.
Examples:
High Flow Set Point
The Set Point must be a value greater than the Release Point.
The relay output will have continuity between its N.C. terminal and “COM” until the flow has exceeded the Set Point (“SETPT”)
for a continuous period of time exceeding the Set Point Delay (“SDLY”), at which time the N.C. connection will open and the
N.O. contact will have continuity to the “COM” terminal. When the flow has dropped below the Release Point (“RELP") for
a continuous period of time exceeding the Release Point Delay (“RDLY”), the relay states will return to their original states.
If the latch has been set to “ON”, the relay will not release until manually reset once the Set Point and Set Delay have been
satised.
Low Flow Set Point
The Set Point must be a value less than the Release Point.
The relay output will have continuity between its N.C. terminal and “COM” until the flow has dropped below the Set Point
(“SETPT”) for a continuous period of time exceeding the Set Point Delay(“SDLY”), at which time the N.C. connection will
open and the N.O. contact will have continuity to the “COM” terminal. When the flow has again risen above the Release Point
(“RELP”) for a continuous period of time exceeding the Release Point Delay (“RDLY”), the relay states will return to their
original states. If the latch has been set to “ON”, the relay will not release until manually reset once the Set Point and Set Delay
have been satised.

With the normal mode display showing, pressing the Menu key will enter the programming mode. In this mode, the three
arrow keys () are used on the selection screens to select the option displayed above the key, and on the option list
screens to scroll up or down a list of choices, like a pull-down menu. It should be noted that most screens presenting choices
show three choices, one for each arrow key. When the number of choices exceeds three, a small arrow () appears on the
upper right side of the display indicating there are more choices on that level. Pressing Enter toggles to the next set of
choices. Once the selection has been made, the Enter key also is used to complete the selection. Pressing the Menu key
returns back to the normal mode display.
Selection Screens
Most selection screens show three choices, one for each arrow () key. When the number of choices exceeds three, a
small arrow ( ) appears on the upper right side of the display indicating there are more choices on that level. Press Enter to
view the next set of choices.
For example, pressing Menu from the normal mode screen shows the “RESET SETUP DIAG” screen. Pressing the key brings
up the reset screens. The key brings up the setup screens and the key brings up the diagnostic screens. If thekey is
pressed, the screen would appear as follows.
