Electrical Connection
Hardware Installation
Step 1 - Unpack materials: Remove all materials from shipping
box and verify all required components are available
Step 2 - Mount the Model 3700 on the wall or other appropriate
location.
Step 3 - (optional) Connect any analog or pulse output sensors
you may have. For Analog sensors, 0-10V or 4-20mA sensor
types are allowed. The combined power consumption of all the
analog sensors attached to the Model 3700 must not exceed
200mA. If more current is required, use an external power
supply as shown in the wiring diagram for each input type later
in this section.
Step 4 - (optional) - Connect the Modbus network loop as
shown in the wiring diagram on the following page. Follow
the manufacturer’s instructions for installing and powering
the Modbus devices. Verify that the Modbus address settings
are unique for each device (i.e., no two devices with the same
address) and power up the device. Connect each device in the
chain by “daisy-chaining” the devices together. Observe + and
- polarity on the Modbus devices.
3
NOTE: Low Voltage analog, pulse, and RS485 wiring that
enters electrical panels must have a minimum insulation rating
that exceeds the voltage inside the panel. In addition, other
regulations may apply; consult the building codes in your area
prior to installation.
NOTE: Some Modbus devices do not use the same label notation
as the Model 3700. Rather than +,-,S, Emon uses Low, High,
and Gnd. To attach an Emon meter, use + to High, - to Low,
and shield to Gnd.
Note: The Model 3700 internal I/O module (analog and pulse
inputs) uses Modbus address 250, and will show up in the Modbus
device count as a single Modbus device. Additional A8923-4 IO
modules may be added to the Modbus loop as needed.
up (or if an error message appears in the LCD display) contact
technical support. After the Model 3700 has been powered up
for a minute, the green Alive LED should blink slowly once per
second during normal operation.
• Modbus TX/RX: The Modbus TX and RX LEDs blink to
indicate data on the RS485/Modbus loop. The RX LED
blinks only when data is received by the Model 3700.
• Modem RTS: The modem is being monitored or operated
by the Model 3700, off when the modem is idle. This LED
will be on when a dial-out call is in progress, or when dial-in
is enabled and waiting for an inbound call.
• Modem CD: The modem has a carrier connection to a
remote system.
• Modem TX/RX: Data is being sent or received on the
modem.
• Alive: Blinks once per second while the system is operating
correctly.
• Alarm: Blinks to indicate a problem.
• Inputs 1-8: In pulse or status mode, the LED is on when
contacts are closed. In analog 4-20mA and 0-10V mode,
the LED blinks quickly (2hz) to indicate an over-range alarm
error. In 4-20mA mode when the input current is less than
4mA, or in resistance mode where the input resistance is
above 10Mohm, the LED will blink a pattern (blink, blink,
off) to indicate a broken wire alarm.
• Ethernet Link/Act: On when connected to a hub or switch,
off when not connected. Blinks when LAN traffic is being
sent or received.
• RS485 RX/TX: The 485TX LED should blink slowly once
per second during normal operation. The RX LED will blink
when external modbus devices communicate with the Model
3700.
• RF TX / RF RX: If the A8812 has a built-in option with an
on-board radio, the RF LEDs will blink showing transmit and
receive packets.
Step 5 - Power-up and diagnostics: Attach the power supply
to the power input jack on the Model 3700, and plug the power
brick into a wall outlet. The power brick should be in a location
that is accessible for connection and disconnection. After power
is applied, the green alive light in the upper right of the Model
3700 should come on and the LCD display will display a series
of diagnostic screens ending with the following message on the
LCD display (this boot sequence may require up to 20 seconds
to complete):
Model 3700 Ready
192.168.40.50
This indicates that the Model 3700 has loaded properly and
is ready for configuration and connection to the network and
sensors. If the “power” light does not come on or the LCD display
does not cycle to the above screen, verify that the power cord is
plugged in. If after cycling the power the unit still does not power
4
Step 6 - Verify connected devices: To verify that the Modbus
devices are installed and reporting correctly, use the Modbus
status utility on the Model 3700 server. To do this test, follow
these steps:
A. Press and release the menu (top) button on the Model
3700. The following will appear on the LCD display:
[Main Menu]
TCP/IP Cong
B. Press the menu (top) button several more times until the
LCD display shows the following message:
[Main Menu]
Modbus Status
C. Press the select (bottom) button on the server and the
unit will begin the diagnosis of the Modbus loop. After
the check is completed, the unit will display the following
message:
X devices OK
X fail, X new
D. Verify that the number of devices located by the server
(the total of OK, fail and new) matches the number of
devices actually installed and connected. For a first
time installation, all devices should appear as “new”.
The Model 3700 Internal I/O (pulse and analog inputs)
appear as one device in this list. (NOTE: A “device” is the
Modbus connected device, not necessarily the sensor.
For example, an A8923-4 I/O module with 4 sensors
connected is only one modbus device, not four.) For
further information on the LCD console, please review
the console section of this manual.
Step 2 - Configure the IP address as selected from the table
above. For Direct Connection to a Laptop, the address settings
above are set as the factory default, and you may be able to
skip to the Laptop/Computer Setup section if the factory default
settings are present.
To begin configuration, make sure that the server displays the
start screen:
E. The Model 3700 completes a background scan for new
Modbus devices every 2-5 minutes. Increasing the RS485
Modbus timeout may increase the time required to detect
new devices. If the Modbus devices are connected after
the server is booted up, the devices may not appear on
the screen for several minutes. In the worst case, allow
up to 5 minutes for the Model 3700 to locate all the
connected devices.
F. If all devices are reporting properly, it is now time to connect
the server to the network or phone line for remote reporting
and configuration.
BASIC NETWORK CONFIGURATION
Step 1 - Determine the IP addressing needs: The IP address of
the Model 3700 server can be implemented using one of three
methods. Check with the network administrator to determine
which method applies. For phone installations, use “direct
connection to laptop” to allow initial configuration.
• Static IP address - this is a xed IP address which is assigned
by a network administrator and “hard-coded” into the Model
3700; or
• Dynamic Host Conguration Protocol (DHCP) address - this
process assigns an IP address dynamically to the Model
3700 when it is connected to the network from a host DHCP
server; or
• Direct connection between the Model 3700 and a single
temporary computer such as a laptop. (primary connection
will be dialin or dialout by modem)
You will need the following information from your network
admin istrator : Th e addresses will be in th e for m of
“###.###.###.###”), where “#” refers to the numbers 0 to 9.
Model 3700 Ready
192.168.40.50
If this screen does not appear on the LCD display, press and
hold the menu (top) button on the server for several seconds
and the message should appear. To change the IP address to
the static address assigned by the network administrator, do
the following:
A. Press the menu (top) button once to get the TCP/IP
configuration menu
[Main Menu]
TCP/IP Cong
B. Press the select (bottom) button twice to get the IP config
menu:
[TCP/IP Cong]
IP Address
C. Press the select button again to see the IP address menu:
[IP Address]
192.168.40.50
D. At this point, the cursor on the display will be blinking on
the first number in the IP address on the second line.
E. To change the number, press the menu (top) button and
the display will cycle through the digits 0-9 as well as “.”.
Once the correct digit is displayed, press the select (lower)
button to advance to the next digit and repeat the process
until all the digits are correct.
F. Once the IP address on the server matches the assigned
IP address, press the select (bottom) button once more to
return to the main TCP/IP menu.

Step 3 - Set the Netmask, gateway, and DNS server(s) addresses
as noted in the chart “Network Address Worksheet” using the
same technique as shown on the previous page. The only change
is that after Step B, press the menu (top) button multiple times
to see the netmask, gateway, and dns setup menu, then push
the select button to set the option.
NOTE: If DHCP configuration is selected, the IP, netmask,
gateway, and DNS server addresses will be obtained
automatically. Simply select the Enable DHCP from the first
TCP/IP configuration manu.
Step 4 - After the address information has been set, you must
reboot the Model 3700. Select the (Previous Menu) option after
step B on the previous page. The menu will then state that the
Model 3700 must be rebooted to take effect. Press ‘select’ to
allow the Model 3700 to reboot.
Once the Model 3700 has rebooted, the new IP address will be
displayed on the console. If DHCP addressing was specified,
the server assigned address will be displayed.
NOTE: If DHCP is unable to obtain an IP address, the Model
3700 will use the fallback address of 192.168.0.100.
LAPTOP/COMPUTER SETUP
Step 1 - You must have a computer to access and configure the
Model 3700. This computer must have an ethernet connection (on
the LAN or by direct connection) and must have a web browser
installed such as Internet Explorer
®
or Netscape®.
NOTE: If your building already has an existing LAN that the Model
3700 is attached to, you can use an existing computer on that LAN.
Check with your network administrator for details. If this option is
available, use a LAN connected computer and skip to the Model
3700 Administration Overview section on the next page.
The remainder of this section will assume the installer has brought
a laptop to the site, and will connect the laptop to the building
LAN, or directly to the Model 3700. Attach the laptop to the Model
3700 or LAN as shown above, Ethernet hookup.
Step 2 - Attach the Laptop to the Model 3700 or to the LAN. The
Model 3700 will automatically detect whether a direct or crossover
cable is required, and will reverse polarity accordingly. This
feature will allow you to use either a straight cable or a crossover
LAN cable interchangeably.
If the Laptop is to be attached to an existing LAN, obtain a
static IP address (or use DHCP addressing) from the network
administrator.
Step 3 - Configure the laptop IP address using the following
steps. Note: Only Windows
®
XP is detailed below, however you
can use any OS/Browser you wish such as MacOS or Linux.
Details on network setup for non-windows operating systems is
beyond the scope of this document however.
A. From the Windows start menu, select the “Settings”,
“Network Connections” option. Double click the ‘Local Area’
network connection icon in the network folder, then click
the “Properties” button.

D. Change any low and high range alarm settings you may
need. (optional)
E. Click the ‘Save’ button at the bottom of the page to save
your changes.
F. Repeat these steps for each Modbus device.
Some devices may require additional information. The Veris
H8238 Multi circuit power meter allows the CT size to be specied.
The Model 3700 internal IO module has additional configuration
options on each data point line to specify the details of the
analog or pulse input. These include the 4-20mA device scale,
multipliers and engineering units. Each 4-20mA or 0-10Vsensor
should be supplied with technical information including the low
and high range values that can be used to configure the Model
3700. Also, the Model 3700 has many common sensor types
pre-programmed that can be selected from a drop down list.
Review the Modbus Advanced Configuration Options section
of this manual for further configuration details.
Step 7 - Select the Modbus/Setup menu option. Specify the
Modbus Loop Name. This will become the name of the Model
3700. This is the name that will appear on the BMO website
service (if subscribed). Please contact Badger Meter for more
information on BMO. Specify the data logging period. The default
is 15 minutes.
Step 8 - Decide upon a method of data transfer. (see section later
in this document). If you select the HTTP/Post method to send
data to the BMO website, you can configure this by selecting the
LogFileData, Setup/Upload page.
A. Make note of the Model 3700 serial number.
B. Select upload options as needed for time of day to upload
the data and retry control.
C. Check the checkbox to allow remote configuration. This
will allow you to reconfigure the Model 3700 from the BMO
web site without having to connect directly to the Model
3700.
D. Specify the Target address to upload data. This is the
website address where the Model 3700 will send the
collected data. If you have an in-house data collection
service, you should enter the address of your data server
in this field. Contact Badger Meter about a service called
Building Manager Online that can collect and report
data for you. If you are using the BMO service, the target
address to upload data should be set to http://www.
buildingmanageronline.com/upload.php
E. When configuring the Model 3700 to send data to the BMO
site or your own data collection server, the Model 3700
will authenticate itself with the server by using the serial
number and a password. This password must be supplied
here, and can be obtained when you subscribe for the BMO
service, or by your database administrator.
F. Click Apply to save your changes.

If you select a manual transfer method, remove (blank out) the
target address in the Modbus/Upload Data page.
SECURITY
The Model 3700 has three levels of security. These are operator,
user and admin. When using a browser to access the Model
3700, basic http authentication is used to prompt your browser
for a username and password. The admin account uses admin
as the default password. To change the password, select the
Accounts menu from the left side tree display. Next, select the
account name. Click the Change Password button to set a new
password for the selected account.
Admin: This account has full access to modify any of the system
settings. The default password is admin.
Operator: This account may view settings, however may only
change modbus alarm ranges and device names.
User: This account can view some system settings including the
modbus device status pages and can change nothing.
When using FTP to access the Model 3700, you may use the
admin account username/password for read-only access. Log
information is stored in /var/log/modbus. For read-write-delete
access, use the login name “root” and the admin password.
The three usernames specified are not able to be changed or
renamed, nor can arbitrary usernames be added to the Model
3700. Access is only controlled by setting the password for the
three existing usernames noted above.
NOTE: Not all Modbus devices are supported by the Model
3700. If a device appears in the list with Unsupported in the
status column, you may need to upgrade the firmware on the
Model 3700 to access the device. At the bottom, right corner
of the device list page, a link is shown that will enumerate all
the supported modbus devices in the installed version of the
firmware. Use the System/Firmware update page to check for
newer versions of the firmware.
At the bottom of the device list, there is an option to allow
you to rename all the devices listed. This is useful for initial
deployments. There is also a troubleshooting link that will
look for common configuration problems and alert you to the
appropriate solution.
Device Details
The device detail page will show a list of all the meter data points,
alarm settings and console options. The data point names for
most devices are automatically entered. Some devices such as
the A8923-4 io module have generic inputs, and will be labeled
as Pulse Input #1. At the top of the page, the status of the device
is shown. This usually reports ok however it can include error
information if the device is not responding properly. A list of device
errors is available in the log file details section of this manual. At
the bottom of the page, several buttons are present.
Done: Returns you to the device list page.
Log File: Will display a tabular view of the most recent data in
the current log file. Use the log file export page for complete log
data access.
The Operator and User accounts are disabled by default. These
accounts are activated when you first set a password for each.
MODBUS
Modbus Device List
The Model 3700 automatically searches for Modbus devices on
the RS485 serial loop. The Modbus Device List page will show a
listing of all the currently detected or configured devices the Model

specific device details.
Configure: This button will allow you to change the device

Device Configuration
When the configure button is clicked from the device details
page, the screen will be refreshed, with the same information,
however the device name, alarm settings and console checkbox
will be available.
Device Name: This field allows you to specify a name for the
device such as Main Building Power or other useful name to
indicate the location or function of the device. A name must be
assigned to a device before the Model 3700 will log data for it.
Low Alarm, High Alarm: Specify a threshold for the alarm. If
the data point is recorded below the Low Alarm, or above the
High Alarm levels at the time a log entry is taken, the point will
be considered in an alarm state.
Console: Checking this checkbox will cause the Model 3700 to
display this data point on the LCD console. Multiple data points
are rotated about every 10 seconds. The values on the LCD
console are updated when the next log interval occurs.
Point Config: Some devices have configurable point features.
The A8923-4 IO module has 4 pulse and 4 analog inputs that
require additional configuration as detailed in the next section.
The H663/704 BCM product only requires the circuit breaker
name in this menu. Most device points are automatically
configured and this option may not be displayed.
