The Badger Meter Series 340N2 Btu transmitter is an
economical, compact device for sub-metering applications
using Johnson Controls Metasys® Network Companion™ and
Facilitator™ Supervisory Systems.
The Badger® Series 340N2 works in conjunction with a
ow sensor and two temperature sensors to calculate
thermal energy by measuring liquid ow and inlet and outlet
temperatures in a closed pipe system. The Series 340N2
requires two 10 kW thermistors for temperature input. The ow
input may be provided by any Badger Meter sensor and many
other pulse or sine wave signal ow sensors.
The onboard microcontroller and digital circuitry make precise
measurements and produce accurate, drift-free outputs. The
Series 340N2 is congured using Badger Meter Windows
®
based programming software. Calibration information for the
ow sensor, units of measurement and output scaling may be
preselected or entered in the eld. Btu transmitter information
is available when connected to a PC or laptop computer. This
information includes real-time ow rate, ow total, both T1 and
T2 temperature probe information, energy rate, and energy
total.
The Series 340N2 transmitter features two LED’s to verify input
and output signals.
The primary output for the Series 340N2 is an isolated solid
state switch closure that is user programmed for units of energy
or ow. The output pulse width is adjustable from 50 mS to 5
sec.
Surface Mount Installation
The Series 340N2 may be mounted to the surface of any panel
using double-sided adhesive tape or by attaching fasteners
through the holes in the mounting anges of the unit.
din rail Mounting
Optional clips snap onto the mounting anges allowing the
Series 340N2 to be attached to DIN 15, 32, 35 mm DIN rail
systems.
Wall Mounting
Optional metal and plastic enclosures are available for the
Series 340N2. The enclosure is rst attached to the wall using
fasteners through its mounting holes.
After wiring, the transmitter may be attached to the enclosure
with the terminal headers facing in using the slots in the Series
mounting anges. As an alternate mounting arrangement, the
340N2 may be fastened to the box cover using double-sided
adhesive tape.
temperature Sensor Installation
The location of the temperature sensors with regard to the ow
sensor is important to the accuracy of the energy calculation.
temperature sensor t1 must be located closest to the
ow sensor. A distance of 5 pipe diameters will give the
greatest accuracy. Always install the temperature sensor
downstream of the ow sensor.
The secondary output is the Johnson Controls N2
communications protocol that allows the Series 340N2 to be
assigned an address and allow all measurement parameters:
inlet and outlet temperature, ow rate, ow total, energy rate
and energy total to be transmitted from as many as 255 units on
a single 3-wire RS-485 bus.
The Series 340N2 Btu transmitter operates on AC or DC power
supplies ranging from 12 to 24 volts.
The compact cast epoxy body measures 3.65”(93mm) x
2.95”(75mm) and can be easily mounted in panels, enclosures
or on DIN rails.

Mechanical Installation
The series 340N2 transmitter may be surface mounted onto a
panel, attached to DIN rails using adapter clips or wall mounted
using optional enclosures.
location
Although the Series 340N2 device 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 need be
given to cooling or ventilation.

If a Badger Meter plug in type power supply (Model A-1026
or A-503) is used, connect the black/white striped wire to the
terminal marked positive (+) and the black wire to the terminal
marked negative (-).
Note:
Included with every Series 340N2 is a Model 340N2IK kit
containing a screw, lockwasher and ground lead to connect
the Series 340N2 to earth ground. Connect the earth
ground lug of the Series 340N2 to a solid earth ground with
as short a wire as possible. This will help prevent electrical
interference from affecting the Series 340N2’s normal
operation.

Prior to introducing the Badger Series 340N2 onto a N2
network, it needs to be congured for the pipe’s size, desired
units of measure, and its the default network address should
be changed to an unused address to avoid any conicts with
other instruments on the N2 network. Programming the Series
340N2 is accomplished using the Badger Meter PC software.
1. Load the interface software into the computer that was
shipped with the Model A-302 programming cable or download from our website.
2. The Series 340N2 buss connector should be connected to
a Com port using Badger Meter Model A-302 programming
cable. (If not available a B&B Electronics Model 485SD9TB
may be used) The RS232 side should be connected to a
PC Com port and the RS485 side to the Series 340N2.

Badger Meter sensors are pulse type sensors. The K and
Offset information is printed in the owners manual shipped with
the product. This information is also available on our website.
Calibration constants for other sensors must be supplied by the
manufacturer.
Note #2
Typically the temperature measured by T1 will be greater
than T2 in a heating application and less than T2 in a cooling
application. The selection of one of these choices will determine
if energy calculations are made for heating only (T1>T2),
cooling only (T1<T2), or both (absolute).
Note #3
The lter coefcient screen allows adjustment of the ow and
energy lters. A scale of 0-10 is used with 10 providing the
greatest degree of smoothing. Settings greater then “10” are
permitted by selecting other. However, settings greater then
“10” should be used with extreme caution as it will cause the
Series 340N2 to respond very slowly to actual changes in ow
and energy. This could cause misreporting of fast changing ow
and energy consumption data. See the dialog box below.

Badger Meter, Inc. has decided not to implement the change
of state feature in our Badger® Series 340N2 Btu transmitter.
By our decision not to use this feature, normal Metasys COS
(alarm limits for analog values and normal condition for binary)
notication will be defeated. If COS notication is required, it is
necessary for the operator to perform the following:
1) Map the specic object(s) requiring COS to a CS
object.
2) Dene an AD or BD object with the CS object of
the required COS point, as the associated in.
3) Assign alarm limits to the AD.
4) The AD or BD point will only be scanned at a
5) The normal state of the BO must be updated
Analog/binary input points that are mapped in directly that do
not support COS will never report a change of state condition.
They will report the current value when read, but no alarm
notication will occur. A read will only occur if a focus window is
open or a feature requires the current value.
