HardwareThe backplane board provides the power regulation, the routing of the signals
to the termination board, the processor board, the backup battery board, the
optional communications board, the sensor module, and the battery charger
board.
The termination board provides connections to the field wiring and is located
on the terminal side of the housing. Connections include the power supply,
Local Operator Interface (LOI) communications, Comm 1 communications,
optional Comm 2 communications, RTD wiring, and the I/O field wiring. The
termination board provides surge and static discharge protection for the field
wiring. Electronics include the RTD circuits and the final I/O drivers/receivers.
The termination board also serves as an interface to the backplane board in
the electronics portion of the enclosure.
The 32-bit processor board contains the processor, memory, Local Operator
Interface (LOI) communications driver, Comm 1 communications driver, the
reset controller, and the real-time clock. The functions for the I/O of analog
conversion originate on the processor board. The processor board, also
called the central processor unit, provides the Serial Peripheral Interface
(SPI) buss, Liquid Crystal Display drivers, and Sensor module.
The microprocessor has low-power operating modes, including inactivity and
low battery condition. The 3095FC comes standard with 512 KB of built-in,
static random access memory (SRAM) for storing data and history. The
3095FC also has 2 MB of flash ROM for storing operating system firmware,
applications firmware, and configuration parameters.
The charger board controls the charging of the internal batteries, if installed.
Three D-size lead-acid batteries provide 2.5 Amp-hours of current at 6.2 volts
nominal. The charger board also serves as the interface to the optional LCD
assembly, as well as supporting the On/Off and Norm/Reset jumpers.
A backup battery provides backup power for the static RAM and the
Real-Time Clock. This battery is field replaceable. Under normal conditions,
the battery has a functional life that exceeds five years.
An RTD temperature probe typically mounts in a thermowell on the meter run.
The RTD measures the flowing temperatures under a constant current drive.
The RTD wires connect directly to the RTD connector on the termination
board located inside the enclosure.
The built-in inputs and outputs (I/O) on the 3095FC consist of a port for a
3-wire 100-ohm RTD input interface. Three diagnostic analog inputs (AI)
monitor the battery voltage, logical voltage, and enclosure/battery
temperature.
The Local Operator Interface (LOI) port provides a direct link between the
3095FC and a personal computer (PC) through a Local Operator Interface
Cable using EIA-232 (RS-232) communications. Configure the functionality of
the 3095FC and monitor its operation using Rosemount User Interface
Software (see Section 3: Configuration).
The Comm 1 allows for EIA-485 (RS-485) serial communication protocols.
The EIA-232 (RS-232) activates Comm 2. “Establishing Communication” on

Rosemount 3095FC
FirmwareThe firmware contained in flash ROM on the termination board, determines
the functionality of the 3095FC and includes:
•1992 AGA-3 flow calculations (with user-selectable AGA8
compressibility Detail, Gross I, or Gross II) for a single meter run
•Memory logging of 240 alarms and 240 events
•Archival of minute data from the last 60 minutes for 15 points
•Archival of 60 days of 10-minute data for 4 points
•Archival of 35 days of hourly data for 15 points
•Archival of 35 days of daily data for 15 points
•Archival of Min / Max historical data for today and yesterday
•Communications based on Modbus slave, (ASCII or RTU) protocol for
use with EFM applications
•User level security
AccessoriesThe 3095FC supports the following options and accessories:
•Local Operator Interface (LOI) cable
•Liquid Crystal Display (LCD) with two-line alphanumeric viewing. The
LCD automatically displays information at 3-second intervals.
•Solar panel mast assembly (installed to recharge the backup battery)
Automatic TestsThe 3095FC performs the following self-tests on a periodic basis:
•Battery low and high
•Software and hardware watchdog
•RTD automatic temperature compensation
•Sensor operation
•Memory validity
The 3095FC will operate with its internal batteries down to 5.4 VDC. The LCD
becomes active when input power with the proper polarity and startup voltage
(typically set greater than 8.0 Volts) is applied to the CHG+ connector
(provided the power input fusing/protection is operational). The battery and
logical voltage tests ensure that the 3095FC is operating in the optimum
mode.
The software watchdog is controlled by the central processor unit (CPU). The
software will arm the watchdog timer every second. If the watchdog timer is
not armed for a period of 6 seconds, then the watchdog timer forces the
3095FC unit to reset. If necessary, the software automatically resets. The
hardware watchdog is controlled by the CPU and monitors the power to the
hardware. If the battery voltage drops below 5.4 volts, the 3095FC
automatically shuts down.
The Rosemount 3095FC monitors its orifice-metering measurement for
accurate and continuous operation.

Low Power ModeSleep mode is used to place the CPU in a low power mode. The battery
voltage is monitored by low voltage detection circuitry and the low voltage limit
value is set at 5.4 volts. During Sleep mode, sub-modules are powered down.
The 3095FC enters Sleep mode after one minute of inactivity on the
communication ports.
Wake-up from Sleep occurs when the 3095FC receives a:
•Timed interrupt from the Real-Time Clock
•Signal from one of the communication ports
3095FC FunctionsMost of the 3095FC functions are determined by the firmware. The features
and applications provided by the firmware, which must be configured by using
Rosemount User Interface Software, include:
•Flow calculations for an orifice meter
•Extensive historical data archival
•Memory logging of 240 alarms and 240 events
•Security with local and remote password protection
Flow Measurement
The primary function of the 3095FC is to measure the flow of natural gas
through an orifice in accordance with the 1992 American Petroleum Institute
(API) and American Gas Association (AGA) standards.
The primary inputs used for the orifice metering flow measurement function
are DP, SP, and temperature. The DP and SP inputs are sampled once per
second. The temperature input is sampled and linearized once per second
from an RTD probe.
1992 Flow Calculations for Orifice Metering
The 1992 flow calculation is in accordance with ANSI/API 2530-92 (AGA
Report No. 3 1992), API Chapter 14.2 (AGA Report No. 8 1992 2nd printing
1994), and API Chapter 21.1. The 1992 flow calculation may be configured for
either Metric or U.S. units.
Flow Time
The DP stored for each second is compared to the configured low flow
cutoff. If the DP is less than or equal to the low flow cutoff or the converted
SP is less than or equal to zero, flow is considered to be zero for that
second. Flow time for a recalculation period is defined to be the number of
seconds the DP exceeded the low flow cutoff.
Input and Extension Calculation
Every second the Rosemount 3095FC stores the measured input for DP,
SP, and temperature and calculates the Integrated Value (IV) (the square
root of the absolute upstream SP times the DP).
1-4
Flow time averages of the inputs and the IV over the configured calculation
period are calculated, unless there is no flow for an entire calculation
period. Averages of the inputs are recorded to allow monitoring during no
flow periods.
Reference Manual
00809-0100-4832, Rev AA
October 2004
CONSIDERATIONS
Rosemount 3095FC
Instantaneous Rate Calculations
The instantaneous value of the IV is used with the previous calculation
period of the Integral Multiplier Value (IMV) to compute the instantaneous
flow rate. The IMV is defined as the value resulting from the calculation of
all other factors of the flow rate equation not included in the IV. The
instantaneous flow rate is used with the volumetric heating value to
compute the instantaneous energy rate.
Flow and Energy Accumulation
The averages of the DP and SP, temperature, and sum of the IV are used
with the flow time to compute the flow and energy over the calculation
period. The flow and energy are then accumulated and stored at the top of
every hour. At the configured contract hour, the flow and energy are stored
to the Daily Historical Log and zeroed for the start of a new day.
Environmental
Requirements
The 3095FC is designed to operate between -40 to 75°C (-40 to 167°F).
When mounting, ambient temperatures may effect the operating temperature.

measurement error and erratic performance.
The 3095FC should not be exposed to levels of vibration that exceed 2g for
15 to 150 Hz and 1g for 150 to 2000 Hz.
EnclosuresThe 3095FC is packaged in a NEMA 4 windowed enclosure The enclosure is
fabricated from die-cast aluminum alloy with iridite plating and paint. There
are two ¾-in. pipe threaded holes for field conduit wiring, and
communications.

Rosemount 3095FC
Solar Panels Solar panels generate electrical power for the 3095FC from solar radiation.
They are the optimal choice for locations where a DC voltage source is not
available. The size of solar panels required for a particular installation
depends on several factors, including the power consumption of all devices
connected to the solar array and the geographic location of the installation. An
8-volt solar panel can provide charging power for the backup batteries (see
“Solar Panel Sizing” for information on how to determine the appropriate
panel size required for an application).
An external solar panel typically mounts to the same 2-in. pipe that supports
the 3095FC (see “Mounting” on page 2-1). The panel wiring terminates at the
charge (CHG+ / CHG-) power terminals on the termination board.
NOTE:
Solar panel size may violate certain CSA Class I, Division 1 ratings. Use
approved 3095FC enclosure connectors for routing the power wiring.
The optional solar panel is adequate for support of API Chapter 21.1
compliant measurement and the retrieval of the historical logs once a day
using the internal communication methods.
Solar Panel Sizing
To determine solar panel output requirements, first determine the solar
insolation for the geographic area. The map in Figure 2-1 shows solar
insolation (in hours) for the United States during winter months. Contact an
Emerson Process Management representative for a map detailing a specific
geographic area.
Insolation (from map) = _____ hours
Next, calculate the amount of current required from the solar array per day
using the following equation. I
Finally, the number of solar panels can be determined using the following
equation:
Number of Panels = I
NOTE:

100-ohm platinum RTD with a IEC 751 curve. The RTD has an alpha (α)
equal to 0.00385.
The RTD mounts directly to the piping using a thermowell. RTD wires should
be protected by a metal sheath or by a conduit connected to a conduit wiring
fitting on the enclosure. The RTD wires connect to the three screw terminals
designated “RTD” on the Termination Board (see Figure 2-2).
Wiring between the RTD and 3095FC should be shielded wire, with the shield

Communications WiringThe communication ports located on the 3095FC provide a data link to the
Rosemount User Interface Software, other 3095FC units, and host systems.
NOTE
All communication ports for the 3095FC are located on an optional
communications card or built into the termination board.
The Local Operator Interface (LOI) port provides direct communications
between the 3095FC and the serial port of an operator interface device, such
as an IBM compatible PC using an EIA-232 (RS-232) link. The interface
allows access to the 3095FC (using Rosemount User Interface Software) for
configuration and transfer of stored data.
The LOI terminal on the Termination Board provides wiring access to a built-in
EIA-232 (RS-232) serial interface, which is capable of up to 19,200 bps
operation. The operator interface port supports Modbus protocol
communications. The LOI also supports the log-on security feature of the
3095FC if the Security on LOI is Enabled in Rosemount User Interface
Software (“Security Configuration” on page 3-13).
NOTE
By default, the LOI Port is Comm Tag Local Port in the 3095FC > Comm Port
settings screen. Use the 3095FC > Direct Connect command to connect
using the LOI. See “Connection Methods” on page 2-13.

protects against lightening. The 3095FC provides lightening protection for
built-in field wiring inputs and outputs. Install a surge protection device on the
DC voltage source system to protect the device against lightning and power
surges.
The 3095FC has two grounding screws inside the enclosure. It is
recommended that a minimum of 14 AWG wire be used for the ground wiring.
To minimize signal errors caused by EMI (electromagnetic interference), RFI
(radio frequency interference), and transients, The I/O signal wiring cable
should be an insulated, shielded, twisted-pair. All grounds should terminate at
a single point.

Grounding wiring requirements for DC voltage sources equipment are
governed by the National Electrical Code (NEC). When the equipment uses
DC voltage sources, the grounding system must terminate at the service
disconnect. All equipment grounding conductors must provide an
uninterrupted electrical path to the service disconnect.
Earth Grounds
All earth grounds must have an earth to ground rod or grid impedance of 25
ohms or less as measured with a ground system tester. The grounding
conductor should have a resistance of 1 ohm or less between the 3095FC
enclosure ground and the earth ground rod or grid.
Pipelines With Cathodic Protection
The 3095FC must be electrically isolated from the pipeline. Electrical isolation
can be accomplished by using insulating flanges upstream and downstream
on the meter run. In this case, the Rosemount 3095FC could be flange
mounted or saddle-clamp mounted directly on the meter run and grounded
with a ground rod or grid system (see “Earth Grounds” on page 2-8).

Pipelines Without Cathodic Protection
The pipeline may provide an adequate earth ground and the 3095FC could
mount directly on the meter run using an orifice plate. Use a ground system
tester to make sure the pipeline to earth impedance is less than 2 ohms. If the
pipeline to earth impedance is greater than 2 ohms, the 3095FC installation
should be electrically isolated and a ground rod or grid grounding system
installed. If the pipeline provides an adequate ground, a separate ground rod
or grid system may not need to be installed.
Rosemount 3095FC
POWER SUPPLYThe 3095FC accepts input voltages from 8.0 volts to 28 volts at the power
terminals (CHG+ / CHG-) with no external current limiting (internal current
limit is 200 mA). The CHG+ / CHG- terminal can accommodate up to 16 AWG
wire.
To adequately meet the needs of the 3095FC system, it is important to
determine the total power consumption and size of solar panel requirements
accordingly. To determine the total 3095FC power consumption, be sure to
add the power consumption (in mW) of any other devices used with the
3095FC in the same power system. The maximum power for DC voltage
sources is 130 mW not including the battery charging.
Convert the total value (in mW) to Watts by dividing it by 1000.
mW / 1000 = Watts
For selecting an adequate power supply, use a safety factor (SF) of 1.25 to
account for losses and other variables not factored into the power
consumption calculations. To incorporate the safety factor, multiply the total
power consumption (P) by 1.25.
PSF = P x 1.25 = _____ Watts
To convert PSF to current consumption in amps (ISF), divide PSF by the
system voltage (V) of 12 volts.
ISF = PSF / 12V = _____ Amps
Batteries
Batteries provide power for the 3095FC when the solar panels are not
generating sufficient output. The batteries are three D-size lead-acid batteries
providing 2.5 Amp-hours of current at 6.2 volts.
The batteries are connected in series by the Battery Charger Board to
achieve the required capacity. The battery capacity determines the number of
days of reserve (autonomy) desired.
When the 3095FC is configured as an API compliant Electric Flow
Management (EFM) and requires an internal communications card, a solar
panel, and the internal batteries, the 3095FC should be able to communicate
the API audit trail information once a day to a remote host using no additional
battery source, no additional solar panel, and maintain a 13 day autonomy in
the event that the solar panel is lost.
To determine the system capacity requirements, multiply the system current
load (ISF) on the batteries by the amount of reserve time required. Compute
“ISF” as described above. The equation is as follows:
System Requirement = ISF amps x Reserve hrs = _____ amp-hrs
