1 INTRODUCTION
1.1 SYSTEM DESCRIPTION OF THE B3100
Functions and features
The flowrate / totalizer model B3100 is an explosion proof microprocessor driven instrument designed to
linearize the flowmeter’s flow curve and to show the flowrate, the total and the accumulated total.
This product has been designed with a focus on:
• User-friendliness: operation through the glass without removing the cover.
• Good readings in full sunlight and darkness through a bright backlight.
• Mounting flexibility: multiple solutions for sensor mounting, including 1” NPT bottom entry as well as
suitable for wall or pipe mount applications.
• Ruggedness for harsh surrounding: not just designed to be explosion proof.
• Usability: wide operational temperature, high ingress protection rating and international certification.
• Installation friendly design: s pac ious cab li ng area, plug and pla y cable con nec ti on and easy removable
electronic module.
• Aluminum enclosure with high quality industrial two component coating.
• Stainless steel 316L enclosure available for offshore applications.
• Ability to process any type of sensor signal,
• Multiple power supply options to suit any application, including long-life battery supply.
• Configurable pulse and analog signal outputs and optional communication outputs.
Flowmeter input
This manual describes the B3100 with a pulse t ype input from the flowmeter “-P version”. Other versions are
pending to process (0)4-20mA or 0-10V flowmeter signals.
One flowmeter with a passive or active pulse, NAMUR or coil signal output can be connected to the B3100.
To power the sensor, several options are available.
Fig. 1: Application lay-out (typical)
DSY-UM-02251-EN-02 (October 2017)

Standard outputs
• Configurable pulse output: a scaled pulse representing a certain linearized total quantity. Maximum
frequency 500Hz. The pulse length can be set as desired.
• Configurable linear 4-20mA isolated analog output with 12-bits resolution representing the actual linearized
flowrate. Flowrate levels as well as the minimum and maximum signal output can be tuned.
Configuration
The B3100 has been designed to be implemented in many types of applications. For that reason, a SETUPlevel is available to configure your B3100 according to your specific requirements.
It includes several important features, such as K-Factor, measurement units, signal selection etc. All setting
are stored in EEPROM mem or y and will not be lost in the event of power failur e. A backup of the total and
accumulated total in EEPROM memory is made every minute.
To extend the battery-life time, please use of the power-management functions as described in chapter 3.2.3.
Display information
The B3100 has a large LCD with all kinds of symbols and digits to display measurement units, status
information, trend-indication and key-word messages.
Flowrate and totals can be displayed either with the 11 small 7mm (0.28”) digits or with the 7 large 12mm
(0.47”) digits. Additionally, the B3100 has an analog speedometer to show the actual flowrate.
Backlight
A backlight is standard available.
The intensity can be set as desired with SETUP 3.3. (externally powered only).
In battery powered applications it will be switched on during a limited period of time at a fixed intensity and will
switch off automatically within 30 seconds after a key touch.
For loop powered applications only,
the backlight will not come on because of limited power.
Options
The following options are available: full Modbus communication RS232 or USB (also battery powered),
mechanical relay or active outputs, power- and sensor-supply options.

Use of optical keys
The optical keys are designed to operate stable and will not be activated when the glass surface is not clean.
Keep the glass surface clean to avoid false key activations (false activations reduce battery lifetime). Also do
not mount objects within 100mm in the front of the product (shiny surfaces could cause false activations). It is
not necessary to touch the glass for activation. Activating by touching the clean glass surface normally also
works fine, but in case of detection problems try not to touch the glass.
Enable optical keys
The optical keys are disabled after 30 seconds when enabled at SETUP 9.5. A key lock symbol will appear at
the top of the display to indicate this.
To enable the optical keys, touch briefly after each other all three keys in the following order:
PROG – SELECT – CLEAR.
The display will hint this sequence. The key lock symbol will disappear when the sequence is successfully
executed.

K-FACTOR
With the K-factor, the flowmeter pulse signals are converted to a
K-factor “6”.

K-FACTOR DECIMALS
This setting determines the number of decimals for the K-factor
This setting influences the accuracy of the K-factor indirectly (i.e. the
quantity. The K-factor is based on the number of pulses generated by
the flowmeter per selected measurement unit (SETUP 4.2), for
example per cubic meter. The more accurate the K-factor, the more
accurate the functioning of the system will be.
Example 1: Calculating the K-factor.
Assume that the flowmeter generates 2.4813 pulses per liter and the
selected unit is “cubic meters / m3”. A cubic meter consists of 1000
parts of one liter which implies 2,481.3 pulses per m3. So, the
K-factor is 2,481.3. Enter for SETUP 4.4: “2481300” and for
SETUP 4.5 – decimals K-factor “3”.
Example 2: Calculating the K-factor.
Assume that the flowmeter generates 6.5231 pulses per gallon and
the selected measurement unit is gallons. So, the K-Factor is 6.5231.
Enter for SETUP 4.4: “6523100” and for SETUP 4.5 decimals

3.2.6 EXPLANATION OF SETUP-MENU 5 – LINEARIZE
The linearization function is available to approach the real flow curve better as with the general K-factor (KF0).
This to obtain a more accurate flowrate, total and accumulated total as well as the analog and pulse output at
any flowmeter frequency.
A maximum of 15 linearization-positions can be entered while the interpolation will calculate any other position
in-between.
For each linearization position, the frequency and a Meter Factor (MF) must be entered.
The Meter Factor for each frequency is calculated with following formula:
The lowest frequency and MF you enter will be valid from 0Hz. The highest frequency and MF will be valid till
10KHz. It is advised to enter the frequencies in increasing order, however it is not necessary. Please have a

PROBLEM SOLVING
In this appendix, several problems are included that can occur when the B3100 is going to be installed or while it is in
operation.
Flowmeter does not generate pulses
Check:
• Signal selection SETUP – 4.1,
• Pulse amplitude (par. 4.4.3.),
• Flowmeter, wiring and connection of terminal connectors (par. 4.4.3.),
• Power supply of flowmeter (par. 4.4.2.).
Flowmeter generates "too many pulses"
Check:
• Settings for Total and Flowrate,
• Type of signal selected with actual signal generated.
• Sensitivity of coil input.
• Proper grounding of the B3100, avoi d ground lo ops .
• Use screened wire for flowmeter signals and connect screen to the ground input terminal of the flowmeter
input.
Analog output does not function properly
Check:
• SETUP 5.1 - is the function enabled?
• SETUP 5.2 / 5.3: are the flow-levels programmed correctly?
• Connection of the external power-supply according to the specification.
Pulse output does not function
Check:
• SETUP 7.1 - pulse per “x” quantity; is the value programmed reasonable?
• SETUP 7.2 - impulse width; is the external device able to recognize the selected pulse width and
frequency?
Flowrate displays "0 / zero" while there is flow (total is counting)
Check:
• SETUP 2.2 / 2.5: are the K-factor and time unit correct?
• SETUP 2.6 / 2.7: The unit has to count the number of pulses according to SETUP 2.6 within the time
according to SETUP 2.7. Make sure that 2.7 is set to 10.0 seconds for example: the result is that the unit
has at least 10 seconds time to measure the number of pulses according to SETUP 2.6.
Linearization does not work
Check:
• SETUP 5.G: is the function enabled?
• SETUP 5.1-5.F: are all M-Factors and the frequency entered correctly?
The password is unknown
If the password cannot be retrieved, there is only one possibility left: call your supplier.
ALARM
When the alarm flag starts to blink an internal alarm condition has occurred. Press the "sel ect button" several times to
display the error code. The codes are:
If the alarm occurs more often or stays active for a long time, please contact your supplier.

MODBUS COMMUNICATION
General
The B3100 is fitted with the Modbus communication protocol and can be equipped with various physical
interfaces like RS485. The tables below show the various variables that can be accessed through the
communication.
Currently, the function codes supported are:
• function code 3 “Read Holding Registers” (4x references)
• function code 16 “Preset Multiple Registers” (4x references).
The table below shows Modbus PDU addresses in the decimal representation, followed by its hexadecimal
representation (0x0000). When the PLC address range is required (4x referenc es typical l y used by PLCs ),
please add a value of 40001 to the Modbus PDU address. E.g. reading the serial number with PLC-based
addressing means reading 165 + 40001 = register 40166.
Variables spanning multiple registers use ‘big-endian’ data representation. This means that the lowest register
holds the least significant word of the variable. Although most Modbus Masters will support variables that span
2 registers, variables spanning more registers sometimes require you to manually calculate the resulting
value.
Variables spanning multiple registers have always to be read / written in 1 single action!
Following example shows how data is represented and how this calculation can be accomplished:
For a total-value of 158928, the following register data has been received by the Modbus master:
PDU Address 566 = 0x0000 = 0
PDU Address 567 = 0x0002 = 2
PDU Address 568 = 0x6CD0 = 27856
If we interpret this as a 48 bit unsigned integer value, i t' s value wou ld be: 0x 000 0. 0002 .6CD0=158928.
If this value needs to be calculated: 0*65536*65536 + 2*65536 + 27856 = 158928.
Reading flowrate, total or accumulated total: The returned values are giv en incl ud ing the dec imals and
represent the actual value. The given value may differ from the value that is displayed on the display – this is
due to the fact that the display is limited in the number of digits and may have a slower update rate set.
For example when two decimals are selected for total and total has a value of 123456,78 the display will show
23456,78 while communication will read a “total” of 12345678 (note that the decimals should be adapted
according the setting in “total decimals” which is in this case 2).
Clearing total: It is possible to clear the total counter by means of writing a value of 0 to all the 3 registers of
total in a single write action. Writing any other value will result in the reply of an error message.

Reading and writing the entries of the linearization tables is
2x
done by first selecting the entry through the index. Valid values
uint24
for the index are 0…14, which correspond with the
linearization table entries 1 through 15. Indexes outside this
range will result in an error being sent back.
(See the communication-section of this appendix for setting
the index and its extended functionality through variable 150
and 149).
The 3 registers represent a structure containing 2 variables of
each 3 bytes. The three least significant bytes (PDU address
1024 and LSB of PDU address 1025) contain the frequency
part, the three most significant bytes (MSB of PDU address
1025 and PDU address 1026) contain the M-factor part.
Valid range for the frequency is 0.000 to 9999Hz. Decimal

Hardware requirements – Remote configuration and data logging tool (PC based)
Description
The function of the data log function is to record the performance of the B3100 and the amount of the medium
that passed the sensor (e.g. flowmeter) with respect to the time and the date.
There are two different ways to program the data logging function. You can program the data logging function
via the setup menu DATALOG or via the serial communication.
There are also two possibilities to review the logged data. You can review the logged data on the B3100
themselves or, if installed, via communication through Modbus and the related PC application. The PC
application is available as a free program from our internet download pages.
The recorded data is accessible via the operator menu of the B3100 or via the PC based data log application.
•The datalog menu
The datalog menu has:
• the interval records, to log the interval data;
• the daily records, to log the so called contract hour data;
• the event records, to log the B3100 related events.
• The interval records
The interval records are used to log the interval records (user defined). Each interval record has:
• a sequence number;
• a date/time stamp;
• the flowrate;
• the total;
• the accumulated total.

Single daily log (typi cal)
Dual daily log (typi cal)
•The daily records
The daily records are used to log the daily records, also known as contract hours (user defined).
Each daily record has:
• a sequence number;
• a date/time stamp;
• the flowrate;
• the total;
• the accumulated total.
• The event records
The event records are used to log the B3100 related events. These events have a manufacturer defined
content. Each event record has:
• a sequence number;
• a date/time stamp;
• (as applicable) an event type number;
• (as applicable) an event content description.
The event records are used to log events that happen during operation. The logging is done at the moment an
event happens.
Operation
The data log function records the performance of the B3100 and the measured medium that passed the
sensor (e.g. flowmeter) with respect to the time and the date. The interval and daily records are logged as
programmed in the setup menu DATALOG.
•The interval log
This log is made to record the data once at every user defined moment in time.
The B3100 makes one record, as a snapshot, per programmed interval. When the maximum amount of
records is made, the eldest record is overwritten by the newest record.
•The daily log
This log is used to record the data at a pre-determined time in the day, e.g. before or at the end of a so called
contract hour. This function is meant to determine, by hand, the total of the previous contract hour or to trend
the total over a certain period of time. When the maximum amount of records is made, the eldest record is
overwritten by the newest record.
•The event records
This log is used to record the events. These events have a generic or a specific content (manufacturer
defined). The B3100 makes one record every time an event occurs. When the maximum amount of records is
made, the eldest record is overwritten by the newest record.
