Featuring 4
battery powered indicator capable of accepting magnetic
pickup, DC pulse and switch closure inputs. The unit provides a
loop powered 4-20mA output. The IT 300N uses the 4-20mA
loop to provide power when this output is used.

INSTALLATION
Battery Installation and IT 300N Initialization:
All meter mounted IT 300N models are shipped with the batteries installed. When using external BATPACK,
mount within 12" and plug connector into 3 position square posts (see Fig 1). Polarity is not a concern because
center is common. The unit will have to be initialized and operating parameters entered.
CAUTION : All IT 300N models are provided with two or more sources of power. The power should not be
interrupted when changing batteries. For models with two batteries, change one battery at a time. If all power
sources are interrupted, information will be lost and the unit will have to be re-initialized as described below.
To install the battery, begin by locating the battery holder. The IT 300N-2, 3 and 5 require opening the enclosure
cover and removing the IT 300N to expose the battery holder.
The plus terminal of the battery is marked with a (+) symbol stamped into the battery holder. Be sure to install the
battery(ies) correctly.
To Initialize, Locate the “initialize” terminals on the IT 300N PCB (see Fig1). Using a small length of wire, temporarily jumper across the initialize terminals. The unit will respond by showing its software version number and then
illuminating the LCD display. See Programming Flowchart to setup desired operating parameters.

THEORY OF OPERATION
Flow rate equation:Flow total equation:
Flow Rate Indication =
Input Frequency
FAC x FAC mul
x Time Scaler
Flow Total =
Sum of Input Pulses
FAC x FAC mul
Where Time Scaler is equal to: 1 for rate per second read out
60 for rate per minute read out
3600 for rate per hour read out
10 Point Linearization Option:
A 10 point linearization table is used to construct a curve describing the relationship of K-Factor and input
frequency. The measured input frequency is used to access the table. A linear interpolation of adjacent point pairs
is used to arrive at the K-Factor at that input frequency. The flow rate and total are then computed based upon the
K-Factor for that measurement sample.
WIRING
Several typical applications of the IT 300N are shown below. Please observe that the various pulse inputs and
power options may be intermixed in many ways to solve common applications. The isolated pulse output may be
freely used so long as proper polarity is observed.
Caution: When 4-20 mA loop is utilized, the power wiring to the loop should always be to terminals (+) 12 and (-)
11. Accidental wiring to (+) 12 and (-)6 should be avoided since excessive current flow may result.
Caution: The magnetic pickup input and contact closure input require isolated sensors for proper operation.
Accidental connections to earth may result in erroneous operation of the analog output and/or excessive
current flow.
Caution: Accidental connections from circuit common (3 or 6) to earth or terminal (11) may result in erroneous
operation of the analog output and/or excessive current flow.

point allows for greater resolution of both the totalizer display and the pulse output. The
pulse output advances at a rate dependent on the least significant digit of the totalizer. The
totalizer decimal location is restricted to a maximum of 4 places (1234.5678). However, the
number of totalizer decimal locations allowable is reduced with each decimal place added to
the factor decimal. Press the ← key to move the decimal. Press the E key to enter the

OPERATION
A suitable pulse producing device or flow meter is wired to one of the three pulse inputs provided on the IT 300N.
Only one of these inputs is used in a given application. There are no connections to the two unused pulse inputs.
Isolated magnetic pickups may be connected to terminals 1 and 2. Isolated contact closures may be connected to
terminals 5 and 6. Any pulse type may be connected to terminals 9(-) and 10(+).
Power to the unit may be provided by internal batteries, external DC, or the current loop. In all cases, the internal
battery will provide for continued operation in the event primary power is lost.
Once properly wired, the operation of the IT 300N is automatic.
The flow totalizer is updated every 2 seconds* with the latest total. If no input counts are received the unit remains
in a low power state to conserve power.
The flow total may be cleared by the front panel switch sequence or by a contact closure on the remote reset
terminal to circuit common.
To reset the unit from the front panel, the following key sequence is required:
Press M “CLr tot” will be displayed (if the panel lock is on, the display will prompt "
Enter the proper code to advance to the
Press E To clear the total. Unit will return to operation
The flow rate indicator will measure the flow rate once every 2 seconds* and display the flow rate.
If the input pulses are not detected within the delay setting (0.2 seconds), a flow rate of 0 will be indicated.
The analog output will be scaled based on the user selected zero and full scale and the measured flow rate. The
analog output is updated every 2 seconds*.
The pulse output will generate a burst of pulses every 2 seconds* in accordance with the instrument setup of pulse
scaling.
MAINTENANCE:
The only scheduled maintenance for the IT 300N is periodic replacement of the battery.
Battery Replacement:
The IT 300N has a battery monitor feature which illuminates when the lithium battery voltage approaches its end
of life. A descriptor, “BAT”, illuminates when the battery voltage falls below this predetermined value. The low
battery detector operates correctly with all power options.
clr tot

".
The battery, or batteries, should be replaced within several weeks of the first occurrence of low battery warning,
“BAT”. Left unattended, the unit may become inaccurate, cease to operate or loose setup information or
malfunction.
Batteries should be replaced one at a time to avoid interrupting the power.
See INSTALLATION section for battery installation instructions.

ERROR MESSAGES
The IT 300N is provided with extensive self checking which assists the user in the location of setup entry errors
and in reporting malfunctions or unusual operating conditions. When an error occurs, the display will flash. Press
any key to see the error message corresponding to the error that has occurred. Press any key again to acknowledge the error. (If the error can be eliminated by a change of setup values, the unit will automatically advance to
the MENU so that the appropriate setup changes can be made).

Full Scale Adjust:
The 4-20 mA has been accurately set to 20.000 mA by the factory. No adjustments should be required.
The 4-20 mA output may be verified periodically by installing a digital milliamp meter in series with the analog
output and simulating a full scale or over range flow rate.
The Full scale adjustments may be trimmed to 20.000 mA +/- .020 mA if required. To adjust, locate the span adjust
potentiometer mounted on component side of PCB, above the display to the left (rear view). Turn clockwise to
increase the current output, counter-clockwise to reduce.
The 4 mA is set automatically.
