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.

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.

EIA485 RS485 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.
