Introduction

INTRODUCTION
This is the user manual for the High Resolution (HR) LCD registers.

Audience and Purpose

This manual is intended to be used by customers for installing and using the HR-LCD 4-20 scaled/unscaled and pulse registers.

Product Unpacking and Inspection

Upon opening the shipping container, visually inspect the product and applicable accessories for any physical damage such as scratches, loose or broken parts, or any other sign of damage that may have occurred during shipment.
OTE:N If damage is found, request an inspection by the carrier’s agent within 48 hours of delivery and file a claim with the
carrier. A claim for equipment damage in transit is the sole responsibility of the purchaser.

License Requirements

This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation of this device is subject to the following two conditions: (1) This device may not cause harmful interference, and (2) this device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation. Any changes made by the user not approved by Badger Meter can void the user’s authority to operate the equipment.

DESCRIPTION

High resolution registers are fully electronic, solid-state devices with no moving parts. The devices come standard as factory programmed, with the option for programming in the field. Programming is performed through the device IR port via a computer. The programming kit with software CD (PN: 67660-001) or programming kit with USB (PN: 68468-001) can be ordered through Customer Service.
OTE:N Refer to the document, High Resolution LCD Register Programmer Manual, available at www.badgermeter.com, for
programming instructions.

HR-LCD 4-20 scaled/unscaled

The HR-LCD 4-20 scaled/unscaled is a permanently sealed, electronic LCD register that produces a scaled/unscaled output as well as an analog 4-20 mA DC output signal with a dual output wire design. HR-LCD 4-20 scaled/unscaled registers are
designed for use with all current Badger Meter Recordall® Disc, Turbo Series, Compound Series, Combo Series and Fire Service meters and assemblies.

HR-LCD Pulse

The HR-LCD pulse register is a permanently sealed, electronic LCD register that produces a scaled output with a single output wire design. HR-LCD pulse registers are designed for use with all current Badger Meter Recordall® Disc, Turbo Series,
Compound Series, Combo Series and Fire Service meters and assemblies.

Product Overview

PRODUCT OVERVIEW

LCD Display

HR-LCD registers have a nine-digit Liquid Crystal Display (LCD) to show consumption, flow and alarm information.
There is no need to activate the display. The display automatically toggles between consumption (segmented leak detector in this mode), rate of flow and meter model.
OTE:N Devices are shipped in storage mode so that a meter status alarm is not triggered. In storage mode, the meter model
screen is displayed.

Multiplier Value

Depending on the meter model, size and unit of measure, a multiplier value may also be shown. Multiply the displayed value by the multiplier value to calculate the reading to the nearest gallon, cubic foot, or cubic meter.
Example: 123456 (displayed value) x 10 (multiplier value) = 1234560

Units of Measure

The units of measure are factory-programmed and user-programmable. Options include U.S. gallons, Imperial gallons, cubic feet, cubic meters and liters.

9-Digit Totalization

The consumption display includes all nine digits and a decimal point (based on meter model, size and unit of measure). The displayed value is the sum of the forward flow minus any reverse flow. This screen displays for 45 seconds.

Installing the Register

Rate of Flow

The rate of flow is factory programmed to gallons per minute. The device displays both the unit of measure and rate of flow. The rate of flow display is shown without leading zeros. A reverse flow is indicated by a minus sign before the flow rate. The displayed rate will be based on the average flow rate for the prior minute (since the last time the flow rate was displayed). This screen displays for 5 seconds.

Meter Model Information

The meter model information screen identifies the meter for which the register was programmed and displays for 5 seconds. The display shows the meter type (turbo, disc, compound), the meter model, digit resolution from the device, and the unit of measure (gal, ft3, m3, imp, liter). Disc meters are indicated by a d, Turbo meters are indicated by a stylized T (only the right half of the horizontal line appears) and Compound meters are indicated by a C. See examples below:

The meter model information screen also displays the digit resolution sent from the register.
INSTALLING THE REGISTER

Bayonet Mount

The fully potted assembly has a bayonet mount compatible with all Recordall Disc, Turbo Series, Compound Series, Combo Series and Fire Series meters and assemblies.
The bayonet mount allows you to position the register in any of four orientations for visual reading convenience. The device can be removed from the meter without disrupting water service.
The device is permanently sealed to eliminate the intrusion of moisture, dirt or other contaminants, and is suitable for installation in all environments, including meter pits subject to continuous submergence.
Install the device on the water meter and secure it using the tamper-proof screw provided.
OTE:N The registers are not compatible with the ORION® family of endpoints.

Scaled Output

• Scaled output is a switch closure output defined as: red wire = positive, black wire = negative.
• Scaled digital output from the register has a default resolution of 1/10th of the register test circle (resolution may vary in some cases).
• The movement of the meter magnet is converted to a square wave signal that is available as a scaled output through a solid-state relay.
• Scaled output is a solid-state relay to provide isolation from the 4-20 mA output.
• The nominal pulse output width is programmable from 30…100 msec.
• The resolution of the output is defined in the registration section.
• This digital pulse output is compatible with most totalizers and batch controllers.

Unscaled Output

• Unscaled output is a switch closure output defined as: green wire = positive, black wire = negative
• The movement of the meter magnet is converted to a square wave signal that is available as an unscaled output through a solid-state relay.
• Unscaled output is a solid state relay to provide isolation from the 4-20 mA output.
• The resolution of the output is defined in the registration section.
• The unscaled output will only be active when the device is powered by the 4-20 mA output.
• This digital pulse output is compatible with most totalizers and batch controllers.

Analog Output

• The input pulses generated within the transmitter assembly are converted to a standard 4-20 mA control signal.
• This signal is proportional to the flow of fluid passing through the flow meter.
• Power for the device can be obtained from a 9…50V DC control loop.
• The default 20mA setting of the signal is defined in the registration section.
