Installation & Operation Manual
INTRODUCTION
The Data Industrial 340 BN/MB Btu Energy Transmitter from Badger Meter is an economical, compact device for hydronic
sub-metering applications. It uses an RS-485 connection for Modbus® and BACnet communication protocols and a solid state
switch for pulse output representing either flow or energy.
The 340 BN/MB Btu Energy Transmitter calculates thermal energy by integrating the liquid flow in a closed pipe system and
the differential temperature between the supply and return. The 340 BN/MB Btu Energy Transmitter requires one flow sensor
and two temperature sensors.
The temperature sensors can be two-wire 10k Ω Type II Thermistors or 100 or 1000 Ω RTDs that follow the IEC 751 curve.
The flow input may be provided by many of the Data Industrial line of flow sensors and other manufacturers' devices that
generate pulse or sine waves.
The onboard microprocessor and digital circuitry make precise measurements and produce accurate drift-free output. The
340 BN/MB Btu Energy Transmitter is programmed using the Badger Meter Windows® software and a Data Industrial Series
A301 programming cable. Calibration information for the flow sensor, units of measurement, communication protocol
settings and output scaling may be downloaded prior to installation or in the field.
The RS-485 Modbus settings include Baud Rate, Address and RTU/ASCII.
The RS-485 BACnet is an MS/TP slave device and includes Address, Baud Rate, Device Name, Device Instance Number and Max
Master Valve.
While the unit is connected to a PC or laptop computer, real-time flow rate, flow total, both temperature readings, energy rate
and energy total are available.
The 340 BN/MB Btu Energy Transmitter features three LEDs to indicate flow sensor activity, RS-485 activity and pulse output.
The 340 BN/MB Btu Energy Transmitter has an isolated solid state switch closure that is user programmed for units of energy
or flow. The output pulse width is adjustable from 10 ms to 5 sec.
The 340 BN/MB Btu Energy Transmitter operates on AC or DC power supplies ranging from 12 to 24 volts.
The compact cast epoxy body measures 3.65 x 2.95 inches (93 x 75 mm) and can be easily mounted on panels, DIN rails or
enclosures.
INSTALLATION
Mechanical Installation
The 340 BN/MB Btu Energy Transmitter may be surface mounted onto a panel, attached to DIN rails using adapter clips or wall
mounted using two optional enclosures.
Location
Although the 340 BN/MB Btu Energy Transmitter is encapsulated, all wiring connections are made to exposed terminals. The
unit should be protected from weather and moisture in accordance with electrical codes and standard trade practices.
In any mounting arrangement, the primary concerns are ease of wiring and attachment of the programming cable.
The unit generates very little heat so no consideration needs to be given to cooling or ventilation.

Page 10 July 2012
Installation & Operation Manual
Temperature Element Wiring
Appropriate wire types and proper shielding is required for accurate temperature readings.
Since Btu calculations are based on Delta T cable, in order to maintain a balanced system, T1 and T2 wire runs should be kept
to approximately the same length, not to exceed 500 feet.
Thermistors
Badger Meter thermistors are not polarity-sensitive, therefore, wire color is unimportant. The thermistor located in the same
pipe as the flow sensor, termed temperature sensor T1, should be connected to terminals 2 and 3 on terminal block
Temp 1. The thermistor located in the other pipe, termed temperature sensor T2, should be connected to terminals 2 and 3 on
terminal block Temp 2. As shown in the thermistor wiring diagram (Figure 10), a jumper must be installed between terminals
1 and 3 for both the T1 and T2 input terminals. These terminals 1 and 3 are used for lead resistance compensation when 100
three-wire RTDs are used and must be jumpered when not used.

Badger Meter RTDs are three-wire devices. Two of the wires are the same color and interchangeable. One wire is
current-carrying and connects to terminal #3, and the other is used for lead compensation and is connected to terminal #1.
The single color lead is attached to terminal 2. The RTD located in the same pipe as the flow sensor, temperature sensor T1,
should be connected to terminal block Temp 1. The RTD located in the other pipe line, temperature sensor T2, should be
connected to terminal block Temp 2.

Pulse Output Wiring
The 340 BN/MB Btu Energy Transmitter has solid-state switch output rated for a maximum sinking current of 100 mA at 36V
DC. In most cases the pulse out (+) terminal of the 340 BN/MB Btu Energy Transmitter will connect to the input pulse (+) and
the pulse out (–) terminal to the input pulse (–) of the receiving device. Although labeled +/–, the pulse output is not actually
polarity sensitive and can switch low level AC loads if required.
These terminals are located on a separate two-terminal removable header on the 340 BN/MB Btu Energy Transmitter, labeled
“Output.”

Figure 12: Sample Pulse Output Wiring Diagram
Connecting the RS-485 Buss
As shown in the Sample Pulse Output Wiring Diagram, the position of jumpers on each 340 BN/MB Btu Energy Transmitter
and wiring between each transmitter and the RS-485 network are different depending on where the transmitter is installed,
that is, its nodal position. For all but the final transmitter in a string, the three jumpers NT, PU and PD should be in the open
position, and only the (+) and (–) network terminals should be connected to the RS-485 buss. For the final 340 BN/MB Btu
Energy Transmitter in a Modbus network, the three jumpers NT, PU and PD should be in the closed position, and all three
network terminals, (+), (–) and REF, should be connected to the Modbus buss.
NOT:N The 340 BN/MB Btu Energy Transmitter default Modbus or BACnet polling address must be changed before it is
introduced into an existing network to avoid possible address conflicts. Please refer to programming instructions in
the previous section.
Figure 13: Sample Wiring Diagram to Modbus Network
NOTE 1: Biasing, circuitry and resistors for PU, PD and NT terminals are integral parts of the 340 BN/MB Btu Energy
Transmitter.
NOTE 2: For the final 340 BN/MB Btu Energy Transmitter in a given RS-485 network string, NT, PU and PD jumpers should be
in the closed position. Otherwise, NT, PU and PD should be in the open position.
NOTE 3: For the final 340 BN/MB Btu Energy Transmitter in an RS-485 string, all three network terminals, (+), (-) and REF,
should be connected to the buss. Otherwise, connect only terminals (+) and (-) to the buss.
Page 12 July 2012
Installation & Operation Manual
Connection to the RS-485 network should not be made until the 340 BN/MB Btu Energy Transmitter has been configured per
the instructions in "Programming" on page 14.
See RS-485 Network Configuration on page 19.
Communications Cable Wiring
Field configuration requires a Data Industrial programming kit (consisting of a custom cable and software) and a PC running
Windows 9x, ME, NT, 2000 or Windows 7. In order to connect, the 340 BN/MB Btu Energy Transmitter must be powered, and
the Data Industrial Series A301 cable must be connected to the 340 BN/MB Btu Energy Transmitter COM port connector and
an available 9-pin COM port on a computer. USB to COM Port adapters can be used if the DB9 COM port is not available.
NOT:N The Data Industrial A301 Cable will work with all Series 300 products. However the older version of the cable (A300)
does not have sufficient bandwidth to work with the 340 BN/MB Btu Energy Transmitters.
Badger Meter provides free programming software updates via the Internet for all Series 300 products. Go to

This will usually create a new COM port that was not previously listed. Windows Device Manager can be helpful in
determining the actual COM ports that are available.
Figure 19: Device Manager
Select this new port created by the adapter and the screen should change as shown (Figure 20). Notice that the “---“
are replaced with values. This confirms normal communications.

Flow Sensor Section
Figure 23: Pulse or Sine
For most Data Industrial sensors, the sensor type is “Pulse”, and the “K” and “Offset” values can be found in the respective Flow
Sensor Manual.
“Sine” is used for zero-crossing flow sensors (some turbine meters, etc.)
Several flow rate and flow total units of measure can be selected from the pull-down menu.
Temperature Sensor Section
Figure 24: Sensor Attributes
First choose the Sensor Type (10K Ω Thermistor, 100 Ω RTD, or 1K RTD).
The Calc(ulation) Mode has three selections. Initially, it is best to choose “Absolute.” In this mode the Energy Rate and Total will
be calculated as a positive value regardless of the direction of energy flow.
In the T1>T2 Mode, energy will only be calculated if the T1 sensor is warmer than the T2 sensor. If T1 is cooler than T2, the
energy rate will remain at 0.0 and the energy total will not increase.
In the T1<T2 Mode, energy will only be calculated if the T1 sensor is cooler than the T2 sensor.
The T1= and T2= are simply for reference to indicate the current temperature readings.
This is useful in using the zeroing feature explained on page 19.
Page 18 July 2012
Installation & Operation Manual
The Zero Temp Diff is a very powerful feature in this product which allows any inaccuracies of drift in the temperature
sensors, or the 340 BN/MB Btu Energy Transmitter temperature measurements, to be cancelled out.
This correction can be either manually typed in or if the temperature sensors are known to be at exactly the same
temperature, the Zero Temp Diff button can be used to automatically zero the difference between the two readings. To
correct for any erroneous entries, simply manually type 0.0 in both fields.
This feature must be used with caution. If used incorrectly, the temperature readings will be incorrect and the energy rates
and totals will also be in error.
Energy Calculation
Figure 25: Rate and Total Units
Select the units of measure for energy rate and total from the pull-down menus.
Filter Coecients
Figure 26: Filter Coefficients
For most applications leave the default setting of 5. If the flow rate or energy rates are unstable for some reason (from a
disturbed flow profile, for example) this value can be increased as needed.
Pulse Output
Figure 27: Flow or Energy
The pulse output can represent either flow or energy. Units will be the same as selected in the previous sections.
Pulse width and pulse resolution will be selected based on the requirements of the receiving device and system requirements.

RS-485 Network Congurations
The RS-485 Section can be configured in three ways:
• Pulse Out Only – RS-485-OFF
• Modbus
• BACnet
The following sections explain each in detail.
RS-485 Network Configuration – Pulse Out Only
Figure 28: Pulse Out Only Option
If the Modbus or BACnet communications are not going to be used, the Pulse Out Only setting can be selected. This will
disable the RS-485 Network.
RS-485 Network Configuration – Modbus
Figure 29: Modbus Option
Select Modbus, to access the Modbus pull down menus.
Select the Address, Bit Rate (Baud Rate) and Mode (RTU or ASCII).
The 340 BN/MB Btu Energy Transmitter uses IEEE 754 Float - Data Located in “Holding Registers.”
The 340BN/MB Data Format is “Float 32” where the Data is stored across two “Holding Registers”.
In the case of Temperature 1, the Upper Byte is stored in Register 40002, and the Lower Byte is stored in Register 40001,
sometimes referred to as an ABCD to CDAB format. This is done to permit backwards compatibility with older 16-bit systems.
For example, a temperature of 53.36° F when converted to IEEE 754 is “425570A4.” So in the case of the 340BN/MB,
Register # 40001 = 70A4 Hex and Register # 40002 = 4255 Hex. See the table on the next page for additional information.

RS-485 Network Test
Figure 31: RS-485 Test
The Configuration Software has an RS-485 test program.
Although it uses Modbus settings, it is testing RS-485 communication.
The test requires connection to a COM port using the Data Industrial A302-20 RS 485 to RS-232 convertor cable. This cable can
also be helpful with other diagnostics programs and devices that use an RS-232 port to communicate.
When testing the RS-485 network, it is sometimes helpful to connect to some other location instead of directly to the 340
BN/MB Btu Energy Transmitter. When testing in this way the RS-485 end connector can be removed, and the wires can be
connected directly to the RS-485 pairs.
The following table may be helpful to make connections.
