The operating ambient air temperature range is 40° F to 120° F.
The electrical power should be relatively clean, free of high frequency noise, large voltage transients, and protected from power surges and brown outs.
1.5 WARRANTY & SERIAL NUMBER
Warranty
ONICON’s 2-year “No-fault” warranty reduces start-up costs with extended coverage that includes coverage for incidental damage during installation. Certain exclusions apply. See our complete warranty statement for details.
Serial Number
The serial number of your SYSTEM-30 is located on the side of the enclosure. Serial numbers are unique identiers that you should have available when contacting the factory for assistance regarding your system.
SECTION 2.0: UNPACKING
Each SYSTEM-30 generally ships in one package. Inspect all packages immediately upon receipt. Notify ONICON and the freight carrier if the shipment arrives with evidence of damage in transit.
2.1 CHECKING THAT YOU HAVE RECEIVED EVERYTHING
Standard Documentation
Enclosed with each SYSTEM-30 is a comprehensive documentation package that includes the following items:
The SYSTEM-30 BTU MEASUREMENT SYSTEM Installation and Operation Guide The System-30 Calibration Data Sheet
Please notify ONICON immediately if any items are missing.
The Main Unit
Remove the System-30 from the shipping carton and inspect it for physical damage.
Temperature Sensors
One temperature sensor is built-in to the body of the meter and the other is connected to the main unit via a permanently attached cable. Inspect the free sensor and cable for external damage.
Temperature Thermowell
A standard thermowell with installation hardware is packed with the main unit.
Mounting Hardware
The System-30 is supplied with two process connections to facilitate connection to the piping system. A union with retaining nut makes up one end of each end piece. The other end will either be a sweat tting for copper or a threaded nipple with male NPT threads.
SECTION 3.0: INSTALLATION
!
The SYSTEM-30 BTU MEASUREMENT SYSTEM should be installed by experienced plumbers and others with related knowledge and experience in the heating, cooling, and uid metering elds. ONICON will be happy to assist with technical recommendations and to provide guidance by telephone and/or mail. On-site eld engineering, installation, and/or service is also available at an additional cost.
The installer should use good trade practices and adhere to all state and local building or other applicable codes.
CAUTION
ONICON strongly recommends the use of a valved bypass and strainer in conjunction with the installation of the System-30 to facilitate servicing and to protect the turbine assembly during start-up.
3.1 SITE SELECTION
Careful attention to the site selection for the system components will help the installers with the initial installation, reduce start-up problems, and make future maintenance easier. For example, do not install the System-30 or its temperature sensor where it will be difcult for personnel to perform periodic maintenance and calibration. When selecting a site for mounting the system components, consider the criteria under Section 1.4, WORKING ENVIRONMENT, as well as the following:
The Main Unit
Choose the location (supply or return) with the longest straight, unobstructed run. Ideally, the location chosen should allow for at least 20 diameters of unobstructed straight run upstream of the meter and at least 5 diameters of unobstructed straight run downstream. If both the supply and return have adequate straight run conditions, locate the meter in the supply.
The location must be accessible to facilitate service and recalibration.
The Temperature Sensor
The remote temperature sensor should be located in an accessible location. This will facilitate any on-site service.
Place the temperature sensor away from sources of electrical noise that might interfere with the temperature sensor signal.

Before you attempt to use the BTU measurement system, isolate the main unit, open the bypass and ush the entire system so that it is free of ux, solder, pipe and tube cuttings and any other free moving particles.
3.2.2 Thermowell Installation
!
i
IMPORTANT NOTE
It is important that no dirt or other foreign material be allowed into the thermowell as this could affect the thermal response of the system.
Standard Thermowell
The most common installation methods are shown below. Consult the factory for special applications.
3.2.3 Temperature Sensor Installation
The temperature sensor is factory matched and permanently attached to the BTU MEASUREMENT SYSTEM. Sensors from different Btu meters cannot be used without being returned to the factory for recalibration.
Apply a thin coat of thermally conductive grease to the temperature sensor, and gently insert the temperature sensor all the way into the thermowell until it contacts the bottom of the cavity. Gently tighten the retainer cap. DO NOT OVER TIGHTEN. The thermowell completely seals the plumbing system without the retainer cap. The only purpose of the cap is to keep the sensor from losing contact with the bottom of the thermowell cavity.
CAUTION
Cable length is specied at time of order. This is three wire shielded plenum rated cable. Altering the cable length will affect calibration. Do not change the cable length without consulting ONICON.

3.3 ELECTRICAL INSTALLATION
All user supplied conduit ttings, junction boxes, etc. are to be installed as required by all applicable building codes.
IMPORTANT NOTE
The System-30-LON BTU Meter is designed with one internal (Temp1) and one remote (Temp 2) temperature sensor. If the meter body is located in the supply pipe then the internal temperature sensor will indicate the supply temperature and the remote sensor will indicate the return temperature. This relationship will reverse if the meter body is located in the return pipe. The location of the meter will also affect the logic used to determine mode 1 and mode 2 operations for dual mode applications. Single mode energy measurements are absolute measurements and are not effected by polarity of the Delta t.
3.3.1 Single Mode (4 Pipe) Vs. Dual Mode (2 Pipe) Operation
ONICON System 30 BTU Meters may be congured for single or dual mode applications. Single and dual mode is a reference to the piping system and not the meter itself. Single mode (4 pipes) applications are those that always have the same relationship between the supply and return pipe temperatures. In dual mode (2 pipes) applications the polarity of the temperature differential (Delta t) reverses; often on a seasonal basis.
It is often desirable to totalize the amount of energy transferred in each mode in separate registers.

For these applications, ONICON BTU meters may be congured for dual mode operation. In this conguration, the meter will measure and totalize energy in separate registers based on the polarity of the Delta t.
The drawings and tables below illustrate the relationship between meter location, temperature sensor and mode of operation.

4.3 DISPLAY AND PULSE OUTPUT UNITS AND MULTIPLIERS
The units and multipliers are programmed prior to delivery. Contact ONICON’s technical support personnel for assistance in changing units or multipliers.
4.4 LONWORKS NETWORK ADDRESSING
The Btu meter contains two microprocessors, the heat computer board processor and the Echelon TP/FT-10F transceiver with its Neuron processor. The TP/FT-10F transceiver is located on the LON board. The two processors communicate with each other using a serial channel. This serial channel device address is xed at 017 and cannot be changed.
4.4.1 LonWorks Network Addressing
Every Neuron processor has a unique 48 bit address kown as the Neuron ID. This address is generally used as the Node ID. It is combined with the Domain ID and Subnet ID to form the device address. In most installations, the device address is created dynamically by the network.
4.5 COMMISSIONING THE SYSTEM-30-LON
Pressing the Service Pin on the LON board (see Appendix 6) generates a service pin message on the network. The message contains the Neuron ID and the standard program identier (SPID). The network conguration tool then maps the System-30-LON Neuron ID into the domain/subnet/node ID addressing scheme for the network, creating the device address.
4.5.1 Service Pin LED States
The yellow service pin LED indicates the status of the Lon Talk network connection.
• LED blinking at ½ Hz rate indicates that the meter is in an decommissioned state.
• LED off indicates that the meter is commissioned and operating normally.
4.6 LONWORKS XIF FILES
Each System-30-LON BTU Meter is shipped with a diskette or CD containing the XIF le. It also contains the Neuron executable le in various formats and documentation describing the network variables in detail.
4.6.1 Output Network Variables
The System-30-LON BTU Meter transmits data to the network using Standard Network Variable Types (SNVTs). Volume ow rate, and volume total are provided in oating point format.

4.6.5 Resetting Totals via the Network
Totals are held in non-volatile memory within the Btu meter. Each total (ow, energy or auxiliary input) has a corresponding output variable that transmits the information from the meter to the network. There are two ways to remotely reset totals in the display. This can be done using individual input variables to command the display to reset specic totals or it can be done using the nviRequest variable. Using nviRequest allows you to reset each total individually or all totals simultaneously with one command. See sections
1.7.3 and 1.7.4.1 for specic instructions on how to reset totals.
4.6.6 Rollover of Totals
The totals stored in the ow Btu meter memory will roll over to zero when the maximum count is exceeded. When this occurs, the network totals will also roll over to zero. The point at which the rollover occurs is a function of the displayed engineering units and multipliers programmed into the System-30.
The examples below show the rollover point in the engineering units transmitted by the network variable (SNVT) for common totals shown on the System-30-LON BTU Meter.

4.7 DIAGNOSTICS
The ONICON System-30 BTU MEASUREMENT SYSTEM uses a microprocessor to calculate energy. Factory programmed settings provide energy total outputs in accordance with the customer’s application data. An optional isolated analog output for energy rate, ow rate or delta T may also be available. Refer to the Btu meter calibration sheet for a complete listing of factory settings. These settings cannot be changed in the eld. Contact ONICON factory service personnel if changes to the calibration are required.
The System-30 is equipped with diagnostic indicator lights that conrm the operation of the microprocessor and its input circuitry.
Please contact the ONICON factory service personnel if either of the diagnostic lights indicate a potential problem with the operation of the BTU MEASUREMENT SYSTEM.
4.7.1 Diagnostic Lights
Energy
Located on the end of main unit opposite the cable connection is a red LED labeled Btu. This LED will ash as energy is transferred.
Liquid Flow
Located on the end of main unit opposite the cable connection is a red LED labeled FLOW. This LED will ash at a rate that is proportional to the liquid ow rate. An unlit LED indicates no ow signal.
4.8 COMMISSIONING
Please read all installation instructions carefully before proceeding. Wiring diagrams are located in the appendix. A worksheet for checking off these steps and recording measured values is located on the following page.
1. Conrm main unit location and adequate straight pipe run to achieve desired results
In order to proceed with the following steps, the System-30 must be operating and connected to the control system. There must also be ow in pipes. Flow signal readings should be taken while holding the ow rate constant if possible, otherwise, take the various output readings as quickly as possible.
2. Conrm correct supply voltage
3. With the HVAC system active, verify that the diagnostic LED’s for FLOW and BTU are both ashing.
The following steps require a multi-meter with the ability to measure DC voltage as well as DC frequency in hertz. Remove the six screws that secure the cover to the main unit and carefully lift the cover off.
4. Check temperature readings for T1, T2 and the differential temperature
Is the main unit located in the correct location as required by the plans?
Is the meter correctly oriented with respect to ow direction?
Compare actual straight pipe upstream and downstream of the main unit location to the recommended distances identied in this installation manual. Note: This manual is very conservative and assumes the worst-case pipe obstructions; contact ONICON’s technical support department to discuss specics of your application
Verify that the correct supply voltage is available at the System-30 signal cable connections. The System-30 BTU MEASUREMENT SYSTEM operates from 24 V AC/DC.
The LED’s are located on the exterior of the main unit on the end opposite from the cables.
Set multi-meter for 2 to 4 volt range
T2: (TB2) Measure DC volts between terminals 2(+) and 3(-) T3: (TB3) Measure DC volts between terminals 2(+) and 3(-) Delta T: (TB2-TB3) Measure DC volts between terminals 2 and 2
The relationship between voltage and temperature is 10 mV/degree F. Multiply the reading in volts by 100 to obtain degrees F. Compare the calculated temperatures to expected values and to the values shown on the network.
5. Check ow signal
6. Check Energy Total Output (BTU Output Mode 1 and/or Mode 2)
End of standard commissioning. Please contact ONICON’s technical service department at (727)447-6140 with any questions.
Set multi-meter for DC hertz, voltage range > 15 volts. The test points for ow are located next to the reset button.
GPM = Frequency in Hz X 60 Meter Factor in ppg (refer to calibration tag for meter factor)
Compare the calculated ow rate to expected values and to the values shown on the network.
Set multi-meter for ohms
Mode 1: Measure ohms between terminals 3 and 4 Mode 2: Measure ohms between terminals 5 and 6
Conrm that the voltage changes state (low to high or high to low) each time the controls system register records a new energy total.

• Verify 24 VAC / VDC supply voltage to the System-30.
• Verify correct wiring to the System-30 (see wiring diagram).
• Check turbine for clogging due to debris.
• If none of the above, double check hydronic system to ensure that ow is really present in the line.
• NOTE: Flow meter function cannot be veried by blowing on the turbine. The sensing system requires a conductive liquid to operate.
• Verify that System-30 isolation valves are fully open and bypass valve is fully closed (if bypass is used).
• Check turbine(s) for debris.
• Verify supply voltages.
• Verify that thermowell is inserted into the ow stream and that the temperature sensor is completely inserted into the thermowells.
• What is the state of the service pin LED?
• Is it ashing? A ashing service pin LED indicates that the Lon module has not been commissioned. (See Appendix A-6)
• Is it off? A service pin LED that is off indicates that the Lon module is commissioned and operating normally.
• Is the network properly terminated? The Lon TP/FT bus can be terminated in 2 different ways.
• A single RC lter can installed at any point on a free topology network. A dual termination scheme is used with 2 RC lters installed at the ends of bus networks. (Refer to the Appendix A-7 for details.)
• What type of cable is used to wire the network? TP/FT networks should only use twisted shielded pair cable. (Belden 85102 or equiv.)

INTEGER FORMAT OUTPUT NETWORK VARIABLES
Integer format output variables are limited to 2 bytes of data. For this reason, the maximum number that can be transmitted in this format is 65,535. Values for both rate and total data from the Btu meter will often exceed this limit. For this reason, energy rate data is scaled and energy totals are transmitted in segments using multiple variables. This is explained in detail below.
Volume and Energy Rate Variables
The integer output network variables for volume and energy rate are described in the table below. Column 1 contains a brief description of the network variables. Column 2 contains the network variable names. Column 3 contains the Lon SNVTs used for each variable. Column 4 contains the engineering units and column 5, the valid range for each variable. Please note that while the oating point variable for energy rate is transmitted in Watts, the integer network variable is transmitted in kW to ensure that the maximum rate never exceeds the register capacity.

Energy rate nvoEnrRateKWi SNVT_power_kilo KWatts 0 to 65535
Volume and Energy Total Variables
The integer output network variables for volume and energy total are described in the table below. Column 1 contains a brief description of the network variables. Column 2 contains the network variable names. Column 3 contains the Lon SNVTs used for each variable. Column 4 contains the engineering units and column 5, the valid range for each variable.
Please note that while the oating point variable for volume total is transmitted in liters, the integer network variable for volume total is transmitted in kLiters. This is done to increase the maximum total that can be transmitted via the integer variable. Total(s) must be reset before the accumulated value exceeds 6553.5 kliters using nviResetVol1a and/or nviResetVol2a. If this is not done, nvoVol1KLi and/or nvoVol2KLi will over range and continue to indicate 6,553.5 kliters (1,731,252 gallons) until the System-10’s internal total rolls over to zero.
A separate integer SNVT is also available to transmit ow totals in liters. This variable is only used in special small pipe applications as the maximum total it can accumulate is only 65,535 liters (17,312 gallons) before it must be reset.
Energy totals are handled in a slightly different way. The oating point variable for energy total is transmitted in Btu but the integer network variable for energy total is MBtu. This total will over range at 65,535 MBtu. The internal total stored in the Btu meter will not roll over until it exceeds 99,999.99 MBtu.
INTEGER FORMAT OUTPUT NETWORK VARIABLES
(continued)
In order to prevent the loss of data nvoMegaBTU1i and/or nvoMegaBTU2i must be reset before the accumulated value exceeds 65,535 MBtu.
A second variable is available for energy totals. It is kBtu. This variable will roll over to zero whenever the accumulated value exceeds 65,535 kBtu. This variable has been provided to accommodate small pipe applications where MBtu is not appropriate. The two energy variables (MBtu and KBtu) can be combined to produce a total with resolution to 1000 Btu (1kBtu). Programming for this calculation is given below.

Totalizing Using Both the MBtu and KBtu Variables Combined
MBtu (Btu x 1,000,000) is value in nvoMegaBTU1i (or nvoMegaBTU2i)
KBtu (Btu x 1,000,000) is value in nvoKiloBTU1i (or nvoKiloBTU2i)
Combined total = MBtu x 1000 + X
Where X = KBtu - [int (KBtu/1000) x 1000]
Example:
nvoMEGABTU1i present value = 4006 MBtu
nvoKILOBTU!i present value = 6200 KBtu
Combined total = (4006 x 1000) + (6200 - [int(6200/1000) x 1000])
Combined total = 4006000 + (6200 - 6000)
Combined total = 4006200 KBtu
