the unit, including flow data, energy data, temperature readings and
output statuses
• User-friendly installation with quality plug-and-play terminals
• A wide range of outputs and functions for a broad fulfillment in
many applications
• User defined relay triggers for flow rates and totals, temperatures or energy
rates and totals
Flow Meter Input

• Unlatch Relays and Reset Totalizers
Page 7 March 2019CTL-UM-02038-EN-03
Description
Relay Control Outputs
The FC-5000 BTU Monitor has two relay outputs, either a mechanical Form C
switch or a solid state Form A switch� The product configuration determines which
switches are available� All control functions are always available by dedicated
relay outputs� Unneeded outputs may be left disconnected or disabled within the
firmware�
Relays can be used for alarm indication or as a totalizing output�
Form-C
• Can be powered directly from mains circuits rated up to 240V�
• Must be powered through circuits that are insulated from mains by at least
basic insulation�
• Connected sources of power need to be limited to 240V AC and fused at 5A
or less�
• Not suitable for connection to external circuits that are insulated from mains by
at least double insulation (SELV)�
Form A
• Located on TB4 and recommended to use, if configured as a high-rate,
totalizing output�
• Relay energizes (contact closes) with a minimum input current of 3 mA through
the input LED�
• The relay turns off (contact opens) with an input voltage of 0�8V or less�
Power Supply
The power supply used must be isolated from mains by double or reinforced
insulation (for instance, SELV power supply)�
The FC-5000 BTU Monitor operates on 10…40V DC or 9…28V AC supplied by any
suitable source that also meets the requirement listed above� Badger Meter has
power supplies available for the FC-5000 BTU Monitor�
Power Supply Part Numbers:
• 68334-001: includes wall mount (wall wart) power supply and various adapters
• 68334-002: power module that allows discrete power wiring
A power supply not sourced from the factory must be capable of supplying a
minimum of 8 Watts�
Conguring the Unit
The FC-5000 BTU Monitor is designed for many types of applications� See
“Advanced Setup” on page 32 for instructions on configuring your
FC-5000 BTU Monitor to your specific requirements�
All information is stored in EEPROM memory and will not be lost in the event of
power failure�

Wiring the BTU Monitor
At installation, be sure to comply with the following requirements:
• Disconnect power to the unit before attempting any connection or service to
the unit�
• Avoid using machine power service for AC power� When possible, use a
dedicated circuit or a lighting circuit�
• Observe all local electrical codes�
• The unit must be wired with wires and/or cables with a minimum temperature
rating of 167° F (75° C)�
TO PREVENT ACCIDENTS, DO NOT APPLY POWER UNTIL ALL OTHER
CONNECTIONS HAVE BEEN COMPLETED.

Power Input
THE FC5000 IS MICROPROCESSOR CONTROLLED. IT IS VERY IMPORTANT THAT THE
POWER SUPPLY BE FREE OF ELECTRICAL NOISE. AVOID USING POWER LINES THAT
FEED HEAVY LOAD ELECTRICAL DEVICES SUCH AS PUMPS AND MOTORS.
The FC-5000 BTU Monitor power input is internally fused and protected from
common line noise by a filtering network�

OTE:NThe wires in your application may not be the same color as the wires in the
diagram� The number of each color represents the number of a color of
wire that your application will have� For example, the 3-Wire RTD diagram
has two green wires and one blue wire� Your application may have two
yellow wires and one red wire� To wire the system you would wire the two
yellow wires the same way the green wires are in the diagram, and the
same with the red and blue wires�

Installing the BTU Monitor
Digital Inputs
The FC-5000 BTU Monitor has six independent channels available for digital input�
The channels accept TTL voltage signals in the 0…5V DC range� The control inputs
are triggered when the voltage signal on the pin is pulled low (active low)� Input
range for a logic low signal is 0…1V, logic high is 4…5V�
The FC-5000 BTU Monitor comes with Modbus (RTU or ASCII) and BACnet
communication protocols� Signals are transmitted over an EIA-485 (RS-485)
physical layer�
The FC-5000 BTU Monitor has two scaled output channels for use in applications
requiring remote data collection and/or monitoring� The outputs are firmware
configurable, and can be tied to parameters such as rates, temperature or
totalizer values�
Radio Frequency (RF) type pickups require a power source to generate a radio
frequency field� Similar to magnetic pickups, as fluid velocity provides rotational
energy on the flow meter rotor, the field generated by the pickup is disturbed,
producing output pulses that are proportional to flow rate�
OTE:NMaximum current draw from the Excitation pin cannot exceed 200 mA� RF
style pickups will require a signal conditioning amplifier�

Troubleshooting
TROUBLESHOOTING
This section lists common problems that may be encountered with the BTU
Monitor, the possible causes and the recommended remedies� Most problems are
due to improper wiring and/or programming procedures� The problem may also
be in the flow meter, valve, pump or other piece of equipment�
Be sure that all other equipment is functioning properly� The FC-5000 BTU Monitor
is extensively tested at the factory before shipment� However, the unit may get
damaged during transit or installation� If after all possible remedies have been
tried and the problem persists, contact your local representative or Badger Meter�

1� Check wiring diagrams
2� Replace parts or entire unit
3� Select a sensor type� See “Flow Sensor
Type” on page 32
4� Check scale factor calculation� For
example, if programmed 0�001 instead of
0�100, unit will wait for 100 pulses before
decrementing one count
5� Verify connection
6� Disassemble meter, check rotor, replace
if defective
1� Reconnect relay wiring
2� Contact factory for replacement
3� Check and replace valve components�
1� Check scale factor calculation
2� Check wiring� Make sure power lines are
not touching or close to pulse signal line�
Always use shielded cable
3� Dampen vibration
1� Replace the BTU Monitor
2� See “Operator Interface” on page 19
3� Return the BTU Monitor to the factory
for repair
4� Cycle the power to the BTU Monitor
1� Check that the unit of measure you
entered will not result in a readout
greater than 8 digits
2� Check the display precision and reduce
it, if possible
