Description
Featuring 5 digits of rate and 8 digits of total, the BAT
R/T Millennium edition (BATRT-M) is a battery or loop
powered indicator capable of accepting magnetic pickup,
DC pulse and switch closure inputs from pulse produc-
ing owmeters. The unit can be ordered with an optional
4-20mA output. The BATRT-M uses the 4-20mA loop to
provide power when this output is used.

* Slow input pulse rates, large delay setting and internal math
operations may delay the update rate of information.
20 Point Linearization Option (10 Point with Data Logger option)
This feature allows the user to enter 20 different frequencies
with 20 different corresponding K-Factors to linearize non linear signals.
ANALOG OUTPUT OPTION:
Type: 4-20 mA follows rate display, Two wire hookup
Accuracy: 0.025% Full Scale at 20° C
Temperature Drift:
50 ppm/°C Typical
Reverse Polarity Protected
Update Rate: 8 times/second
NOTE: The BATRT-M uses the 4-20 mA loop power as its pri-
mary power source when this option is used. The battery
is still required for standby battery operation.

BATTERY LIFE EXPECTANCY:
Expected Years of Operation for BATRT-M of various powering
options at equipment duty cycles
MODEL RUN TIME
Idle 2hrs/day 8hrs/day 24hrs/day

NOTE: Battery shelf life is rated at 10 years by manufacturer
Life expectancy based on rated battery capacity at
20°C
The above table is shown with pulse output inactive.
Use of pulse output shortens battery life.
Example: A pulse output of 0.06 sec. duration, once per sec-
ond, would derate the battery life by 20%.
IDATA STORAGE:
Setup Information: Stored in ash memory
Totalizer: Stored in battery backed RAM but can be saved to
ash memory by operator for recall after battery change out.
COMMUNICATIONS OPTION (S1):
RS232 SERIAL SETUP SOFTWARE OPTION:
This option enables you to access a variety of process param-
eters through serial communications. PC compatible communications software is included with this option. With this
software and a BAT R/T-M Serial Adapter Cable (BSAC1) you
will be able to setup the BAT R/T-M through your PC.
RS-485 MODBUS and DATA LOGGER OPTION (S2):
The optional RS-485 card utilizes Modbus RTU protocol to ac-
cess a variety of process parameters. The Data Logger stores
the totalizer to ash memory once every 24 hours at the time
you set. The data logger can hold 27 days of totals, on the
28th day the oldest total in the logger is dropped. Requires external DC power: 6-28VDC (input is reverse polarity protected)
Current Draw:
Receiving: 2 mA
Transmitting: 125 mA (instantaneous peak)
