Badger Meter FC-5000 BTU Specifications
Industrial Flow Computer
FC-5000 BTU Monitor
DESCRIPTION
The Badger Meter® FC-5000 is a microprocessor-driven device
designed for energy/BTU and flow monitoring. The FC-5000 BTU
Monitor is compatible with the complete line of Badger Meter
industrial flow meters and temperature sensors, creating a solution
to monitor hydronic energy usage, flow rate and totals. Many years
of experience in the industrial market has allowed Badger Meter to
incorporate features indispensable in control operations.

Provides enhanced viewing capabilities, near
and far from the device
Promotes intuitive navigation
and programming
Allows user to view raw and calculated flow
data, both to and from the device, including
flow data, energy usage and temperature
readings. Additionally, users can see relay,
output and digital I/O statuses
Enables alarms or totalizing output capabilities
for rates, totals and temperatures
Outputs transmit rate, total or temperature
data via dedicated output channels
Provides application ruggedness
Custom fluid characteristics can be stored for
calculations and reference.
Ability to reset relays, totals or both remotely via the 6
available I/O ports.
Fully configurable outputs that can be assigned to rates,
totals and temperature.
Fully configurable relays that can be assigned to rates,
totals and temperature as either a totalizing output or
alarm indication. Option to enable/disable
latching functionality.
Adjustable contrast and brightness for readability and
controlling power consumption.
Ability to select from a list of standardized units of
measure, or complete the customized option with labels
and quantity assignments.
User-defined passcodes to manage advanced
configuration parameters and reset functions.
Provides accurate and fast programming of flow and
temperature sensors with preprogrammed
selection lists.
OPERATION
Input signal—in the form of sine waves or pulses from open
collector transistors or dry contact closures—can be scaled to
any unit of measure for totalization and instantaneous
rate-of-flow indication. Energy rate and flow totals are examples
of parameters that can be viewed on the panel display or through
communications protocols such as BACnet or Modbus.
Two temperature sensor inputs can be configured to read RTDs
or thermistors and are fully customizable to adapt to application
needs. When used in conjunction with fluid flow, hydronic energy
rates and total usage are achieved, while conforming to
EN1434 standards.
Additionally, dedicated analog or frequency output channels
provide scaled outputs that are assignable to parameters such
as energy rate, total and temperature. A user defined damping
function can be applied for improved stability of the flow readings.

EIA485 RS485 NETWORK
All FC-5000 BTU Monitors come equipped with an EIA-485 (RS-485) physical layer, and use BACnet or Modbus RTU protocols, selectable and
programmed in the firmware. Up to 255 FC-5000 products can be run on a single daisy-chain network and be individually queried for flow/
energy rate, positive flow/energy accumulator, supply temperature, return temperature and other information.
