Badger Meter 345WT Specifications
Badger®
Model 345WT
DESCRIPTION
The Model 345WT wireless Modbus/pulse transceiver from
Badger Meter provides a self-optimizing wireless interface
between multiple Modbus devices and networks, perfect for:
• Submetering commercial and industrial facilities.
• Adding Modbus devices to any network without the need for
costly communications wiring.
®
Badger
that makes wireless connectivity simple and cost effective:
Model 345WT is the perfect solution for connecting new or existing
Modbus and pulse devices (meters, sensors, etc.) without the need
for costly wiring runs, core drilling or conduit. Simply connect the
Modbus devices to the serial port on the Model 345WT and the
transceivers will automatically detect the optimum routing to insure
reliable and timely data communications. Data from each Model
345WT wireless transceiver is passed from one transceiver to
another to reach its ultimate destination. This self-managed mesh
network means that the system will function with high reliability
where other wireless systems may fail due to short or long term
interference with radio signals.
APPLICATIONS
EASY INST ALLA TION SA VES TIME AND MONEY
Model 345WT is a breakthrough mesh technology design
• Connect up to 128 RS 485 Modbus devices to any Modbus
network.
• Use “plug and play” connectivity for supported devices to the
Badger Model 3700 data acquisition server.
• Unique “mesh” technology means optimized routing
of communications with NO PC OR SOFTWARE
CONFIGURATION!

• Monitoring performance of building systems (i.e. chillers,
boilers, fans).
• Self-optimizing hopping technology makes installation easy
and cost effective.
• Intelligent transceivers eliminate the need for costly PC’s and
software.
• Customized design for Modbus device interface provides
optimized performance with minimal overhead.
• Pulse inputs allow connection to existing meters for electricity,
gas, water, steam, or BTU’s.
• Wireless communications up to 1500 ft per hop allows
monitoring of remote transformers and meters without
expensive trenching.
• Rugged wall mount design makes installation a snap and
assures high system reliability .

Technical
Brief
MESH NETWORK DESIGN MAKES ADDING DEVICES SIMPLE
AND INEXPENSIVE
• Intelligent nodes continuously monitor wireless traffi c to
optimize routing.
• Nodes and devices can be added at any time and are
automatically added to the routing.
• Scalable design means that projects can be completed in
stages as resources become available.
THE MODEL 345WT, MODEL 3700 AND
BUILDINGMANAGERONLINE.COM (BMO) PROVIDE A
COMPLETE SYSTEM SOLUTION
• The Badger Model 3700 data acquisition server from Badger
Meter provides plug and play connectivity to meters from
most meter manufacturers.
• Meters or sensors added to the network (or hard wired to
the Badger
interval data is stored in the Model 3700.
• Industry standard protocols provide fl exible communications
using either existing LAN’s or phone lines to BMO or other
software. Please contact Badger Meter for more information
on BMO.
• BMO provides convenient access to stored data using any
Web browser from anywhere in the world.
• The Model 345WT provides the fl exibility to connect to
existing sensors using the A8923 Modbus I/O module.
• Standard Modbus RTU protocol design makes connection
to any existing Modbus network simple and cost effective.
