Series 340 BN/MB Btu Energy Transmitter
DESCRIPTION
The 340 BN/MB Btu Energy Transmitter from Badger Meter® is an
economical, compact device for sub-metering applications using
the BACnet or Modbus® communications protocol.
The 340 BN/MB Btu Energy Transmitter calculates thermal
energy using the signal from a flow sensor installed in a hydronic
heating or chilled water system, and the signals from two 10 kΩ
temperature thermistors, 100 Ω RTDs or 1000 Ω RTDs installed
in the system’s inlet and outlet points. The flow input may be
provided by any Data Industrial sensor and many other pulse or
sine wave signal flow sensors.
The on-board microcontroller and circuitry make precise
measurements and produce accurate, drift-free outputs. The
340 BN/MB Btu Energy Transmitter is programmed using
Badger Meter Windows®-based software. Calibration information
for the flow sensor type and pipe size may be preselected or
entered by the user in the field. While the unit is connected to a PC
or laptop computer, real-time flow rate, flow total, temperatures,
energy rate and energy total are available.

The 340 BN/MB Btu Energy Transmitter features three indicator
LEDs to verify the sensor input signal, network link and
pulse output.
The 340 BN/MB Btu Energy Transmitter communicates via RS485.
The compact cast body measures 3.65 × 2.95 inches (93 × 75 mm)
and can be easily mounted on panels, DIN rails or enclosures.
