Warnings and Cautions Warning! Agency approval for hazardous location installations varies between flow meter models. Consult the flow meter nameplate for specific flow meter approvals before any hazardous location installation. Warning! Hot tapping must be performed by a trained professional. U.S. regulations often require a hot tap permit. The manufacturer of the hot tap equipment and/or the contractor performing the hot tap is responsible for providing proof of such a permit.

Receipt of System Components When receiving a Sierra mass flow meter, carefully check the outside packing carton for damage incurred in shipment. If the carton is damaged, notify the local carrier and submit a report to the factory or distributor.
Chapter 1: BACnet MSTP Description This document describes the function and operation of the optional BACnet interface for the Sierra Instruments 240/241Series. BACnet MSTP Description The BACnet Master--‐Slave/Token--‐Passing (MSTP) driver implements a data link protocol that uses the services of the RS--‐485 physical layer. The MS/TP bus is based on BACnet standard protocol SSPC--‐135, Clause 9.
Chapter 2: Baud Rates on the MS/TP Bus An BACnet MS/TP bus can be configured to communicate at one of four different baud rates. It is very important that all of the devices on an MS/TP bus communicate at the same baud rate. The baud rate settings available on the 240/241 Series vortex mass flow meters are 9600, 19200 and 38400.
Chapter 3: Supported BACnet Objects A BACnet object represents physical or virtual equipment information, as a digital input or parameters. The 240/241 Series vortex mass flow meter has the following object types: Device Object Analog Input Binary Input Binary Value Each object type defines a data structure composed by properties that allow the access to the object information.
