Introduction

INTRODUCTION

The Badger Meter® Data Industrial® Series 3100 flow monitor is an economical, dual channel, full featured, digital rate and
totalizing monitor, compete with setpoint control, scaled pulse output, analog outputs, analog PID controller, USB, and RS485
Modbus and BACnet communication.

Panel mount is Type NEMA 4X, and conforms to DIN standard dimensions (96 mm × 96 mm) for meter size and panel cutout.
An optional Type NEMA 4 wall mount will be available in the future.

The back-lit, two-line by 16-character alphanumeric display can be configured by the user with factory preset or with
user-defined units of measure. Any combination of two rates or totals from either input channel can be displayed at any one
time, with the special feature of channel addition or subtraction. LEDs report relay status and digital communication.

Inputs are from any combination of two pulse, sine wave or linear analog input devices.
Configuration is menu driven using the LCD/keypad interface, or USB computer connection, with multiple password gates to

prevent unauthorized access, while allowing access to select features such as total and relay reset functions.
Outputs include four Form C mechanical relays, one solid-state switch, two Analog Outputs, one USB, and one RS485 with

BACnet and Modbus protocols.

Unpacking & Inspection

UNPACKING & 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.

OTE:N If damage is found, request an inspection by the carrier’s agent within 48 hours of delivery and file a claim with the

carrier. A claim for equipment damage in transit is the sole responsibility of the purchaser.

INSTALLATION

Mechanical

The Series 3100 flow monitor can be either panel mounted or wall mounted.

Location

In any mounting arrangement, the primary concern is easy viewing and convenient keypad operation. The flow monitor
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 3100 panel mount monitor is designed for through-panel mounting, which allows access to the back of the unit.
The monitor is secured to the panel by two draw brackets.

Wall Mount Installation

Badger Meter does not currently offer a wall mount enclosure for this product. However, Series 3100 flow monitors can be
wall mounted in the field into any appropriate customer-supplied enclosure.

Electrical Power

MPORTANTI

Before applying power to this unit, check the Model # label: The Series 3100 flow monitor can be ordered as low voltage 12…24V AC/
DC (3100-0x) or as high voltage 120/240V AC (3100-1x).

Low Voltage 12…24V AC/DC Wiring

The Series 3100 flow monitor has a green, three-terminal connector with screw heads, and requires 12…24V AC/DC to
operate. See "Specifications" on page 30 for the current DC draw and AC Volt-Amp requirements. Always use a fused circuit.

Connect the positive end of the power supply to the Series 3100 flow monitor terminal marked LV AC/DC (+), and connect
the negative end of the power supply to the Series 3100 flow monitor terminal marked LV AC/DC (–). Earth ground can be
connected to the terminal marked EARTH.

Ground should be heavy gauge wire and as
short as possible.
If panel mounting in a metal enclosure,
Ground to door and bond the door to the
enclosure across the hinges with a brad
just long enough to allow the door to
open freely.

Installation

Input Sensor Wiring

The Series 3100 flow monitor is a Dual Channel unit. Either a single input, or any combination of two pulse or analog inputs
can be used. The pulse inputs are extremely versatile, designed to accept either two-wire (Data Industrial 200 Series), three­wire pulse inputs (4000 Series) or zero-crossing sine wave inputs (turbines with a magnetic coil pickup).

The analog inputs can accept 0…20 mA, 4…20 mA, 0…1V DC, 0…5V DC or 0…10V DC. Both the top and bottom ends of the
analog range can be configured in the field so that most inputs can be accepted if the hardware limitations are not exceeded.
Contact the factory for assistance with custom inputs. Although different rear panel terminals are used, all parameters are set
with the LCD/keypad interface. No internal or external jumpers, switches or potentiometers require movement or adjustment.

Pulse Inputs (Solid-State Switch or Sine Wave)

The Series 3100 flow monitor accommodates four types of pulse inputs:

• Pulse-DI: Used for all Data Industrial Flow Sensors. Provides an internal pullup resistor and uses “K” and “Offset” values
for calibration.

• Pulse –K Factor: Accepts non Zero Crossing inputs but provides no internal pullup, classical “K” (pulses/gal) values
for calibration.

• Pullup K Factor: Provides an internal pullup resistor and uses classical “K” ( pulses/gal) values for calibration.

• Sine-K Factor: Accepts zero crossing low voltage sourcing devices, with classical “K” ( pulses/gal) calibration.

Output Wiring

The Series 3100 flow monitor has four mechanical Form C relays, one solid-state, normally open (N.O.) switch closure, two
analog outputs, RS485 for Modbus and BACnet communications and a USB connector for configuration and other purposes.

See "Specifications" on page 30 for maximum voltage and current ratings for each output type.

Mechanical Form C Relays (COM, N.O. and N.C.)

The four Form C mechanical relays are labeled N.O., N.C. (normally closed) and COM (common).
When a relay is de-energized, the corresponding LED is unlit, and continuity exists between N.C. and COM; and N.O. to COM

is open.
When a relay is energized, the corresponding LED lights yellow and there is continuity between N.O. and COM and N.C. to

COM is open.

The pulse output is a completely programmable, isolated N.O. solid-state switch.
It is a non-polarized device that can handle either DC or AC loads. See "Specifications" on page 30 for voltage and

load limitations.

Analog Outputs

The Series 3100 flow monitor has two analog outputs. Each is isolated and independent and can be configured for 0…20 mA
or 4…20 mA. This unique design permits external conversion to 0…5V DC or 1…5V DC with a 250 Ohm resistor or 0…10V DC
or 2…10V DC with a 500 Ohm resistor.

A 15V DC power supply to permits current sinking or sourcing. If additional source voltage is required, an external source of
up to 30V DC can be used.

NOTES:

4 . . . 20 mA input devices only require that

1.
the 4 . . . 20 mA range be selected.

0 . . . 1V DC requires 0 . . . 20 mA range and
external 50 Ohm resistor.

0 . . . 5V DC requires 0 . . . 20 mA range and
external 250 Ohm resistor.

2 . . . 10V DC requires 0 . . . 20 mA range and
external 500 Ohm resistor.

2. Loop (+) is +15V DC power our.
Loop (-) is a current sink to CHx GND.
CHx GND is the +15V reference.

3. Analog Out #1 and Analog #2 are totally
independent but are programmed and
wired identically, and can be used
interchangeably. For example, one
can be 0 . . . 20 mA and the other
4 . . . 20 mA; or one could be wired
current sinking while the other is
wired current sourcing.

The Output Channels are assigned to an
Input Channel by the installer. Both Output
Channels can be assigned to the same
Input Channel.

Keypad/Display Menu Navigation

The Series 3100 flow monitor has a two line by 16-character display with two modes of operation and 5 keys on the front
panel for programming. Two of the keys (Menu and Enter) serve a single function while the three remaining keys ()
serve dual purposes.

When the flow monitor is first powered up, it performs internal testing while displaying “Badger Meter DIC Initializing.” At the
end of the internal testing cycle, the main display appears.

In the normal mode, using the factory defaults, the flow rate displays on the top line and the flow total displays on the
bottom. Both lines can be custom defined in the field. In the normal mode, ENTER has no function.

Programming

Solid-State Switch and Form C Outputs

The four Form C mechanical relays, and one NO solid-state switch pulse output are completely independent, electrically
isolated and can be programmed as either pulse or setpoint outputs.

Totalizer Pulse Output

When the Totalizer function is selected, the unit of measure and resolution are independent of the displayed units, and can
be programmed where 1 pulse occurs once every 0000000.1… 999999999 of units selected, with any pulse width from
0001…9999 mS.

Setpoints

The setpoint programming is extremely powerful and flexible, with unit of measure and resolution independent of the
displayed units. Since the setpoint, release point and their associated time delays are fully independent, the alarm can be
either a high rate or low rate, depending on whether the setpoint is selected greater than the release point, or the release
point is greater than the setpoint. For applications where the relay must remained energized, once set, a latching feature is
provided. When latched, the relay remains energized until reset from the front panel. While design planning, note that both
the relays and the pulse outputs can be programmed as alarm points and only the relays provide both normally open and
normally closed contacts. The switch is a simple NO contact.

Terminology

Display Definition Function

SETPT Setpoint If the setpoint value is a greater than the release point value, when the

displayed flow rate exceeds the setpoint, the Set Point Delay timer starts. If the
setpoint is less than the release point when the flow drops below the setpoint,
the timer starts.

SDLY Setpoint time delay If the setpoint remains crossed for a continuous period of time exceeding the

setpoint delay setting, the relay energizes. If the flow rate briefly re-crosses
the setpoint before the timer reaches its setting, the timer resets and waits for
another setpoint crossing before restarting the count from zero.

LATCH Locks relay in energized state If Latch is chosen, once energized by the setpoint time delay, the relay remains

energized until a reset is selected from the front panel. Otherwise, the relay
de-energizes when the Release Point Delay Timer times out.

RELP Release point If the relay is already energized, is not latched and the flow input crosses the

release point, the Release Point Delay timer starts.

RDLY Release point time delay If the release point remains crossed for a continuous period of time and

exceeds the release point delay setting, the relay de-energizes. If the flow rate
briefly re-crosses the release point before the timer reaches its setting, the
timer resets and waits for another release point, crossing before restarting the
count from zero.

High Flow Set Point

The SETPT must be a value greater than the RELP. The relay output will have continuity between its N.C. terminal and COM
until the flow has exceeded the SETPT for a continuous period of time exceeding the SDLY. At this time, the N.C. connection
opens and the N.O. contact will have continuity to the COM terminal. When the flow has dropped below the RELP for a
continuous period of time exceeding the RDLY, the relay states return to the original states. If the latch has been set to ON
once the setpoint and set delay have been satisfied, the relay will not release until manually reset.

Low Flow Set Point

The SETPT must be a value less than the RELP. The relay output will have continuity between its N.C. terminal and COM until
the flow drops below the SETPT for a continuous period of time exceeding the SDLY. At this time, the N.C. connection will open
and the N.O. contact will have continuity to the COM terminal. When the flow again has risen above the RELP for a continuous
period of time, exceeding the RDLY, the relay states return to the original states. If the latch has been set to ON when the
setpoint and set delay have been satisfied, the relay will not release until manually reset.

Communication

RS485 COM Port Configuration

The RS485 is very simple to configure.

1. Select the communications type: Modbus or BACnet.

1. Choose the BAUD Rate: Auto, 300, 1200, 2400, 9600, 19200, 38400, or 76800 to match the rest of the devices on the
network. The factory default of 9600 is recommended for most systems. The lower the baud rates have greater stability,
and greater tolerance of wiring and other hardware issues.

Configuring the Modbus or BACnet are described in the following sections.

Modbus

• Network: RS485

• Baud Rate: Selectable

• Protocol: RTU or ASCII

• Addresses: 001 to 247

• Slave only

• Read Input
Registers: 30001…39999 (Function “04”)

• Data Type: IEEE 754 Float (ABCD – CDAB)

Each variable is stored in two Modbus registers; lowest byte in the first and highest in the second.
Only the variable value is transmitted.
The associated units of measure must be manually configured in the receiving Modbus device.

1 Flow 1 Rate (Input Register 30002 + 30003)
2 Flow 2 Rate (Input Register 30004 + 30005)
3 Flow 1 Total (Input Register 30006 + 30007)
4 Flow 2 Total (Input Register 30008 + 30009)

Modbus uses the following:

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 1: 0 = Auto, 1 = 9600, 2 = 19200, 3 = 38400, 4 = 76800
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 ve-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 ve-pin end into the back of
the monitor.

Figure 3: COM4 properties screen

4. Press ENTER. Both the Rx and Tx LEDs on the front of the Series 3100 ash once and the “Badger Meter DIC…Software
Version…” text message appears.

5. The Series 3100 ow monitor is now communicating and ready to take commands from the list below.

USB Command List

In the list below, brackets indicate an argument, specifying its type and value range.
For instance [0-18] stands for any number between 0 and 18 (inclusive).

Example

“display line1 = 1” sets Line 1 of the display to display #1, which is the totalizer for flow channel 1.

Diagnostics

id -- show model number & software version
echo [on/off] -- turn on/off interactive command line:
with echo off, this interface is more amenable to scripting;
it still accepts the same commands.
Any command entered without an “ = " sign and variable will display the current setting.
Example: Typing “display line 1” returns “0” which is the variable for flow rate
read flow [1-2] -- read the current flow on channel 1 or 2 in GPM
read flow [1-2] total -- read the current total flow on channel 1 or 2 in gallons

comm mstpaddr = [0-127] -- BACnet/MSTP address
comm maxmaster = [0-127] -- BACnet/MSTP max master address
comm devinst = [x] -- BACnet device instance ID

comm mbslaveaddr = [0-255] -- Modbus slave address
