INTRODUCTION The purpose of this guide is to provide installation and commissioning 1.1 PURPOSE OF THIS GUIDE procedures, and basic operating and servicing instructions for the ONICON System-40 BTU Meter. WARNING Only qualified service personnel should attempt to install or service this product.
SYSTEM - 40 BTU MEASUREMENT SYSTEM 1.5 ADDITIONAL HARDWARE ONICON’S System-40 is a true heat (BTU) computer, which accepts data from REQUIRED several sensors, performs a series of computations with that data, and displays and/or transmits the results as an indication of the amount of heat (BTU) being transferred per unit time or as a totalized amount.
Meters installed with reversed flow will not function. • The System-40 is provided with fixed cable lengths for the flow sensor and temperature sensors. Do not alter the cable lengths. Doing so will void the calibration and may invalidate the warranty.
Upstream straight unobstructed pipe requirements vary considerably based on the nature of the upstream obstructions. ONICON always recommends that the sensor be located with as much straight pipe upstream as possible. 3.3.1 Straight Run Requirements...
F. Avoid installing the sensor downstream of multiple bends out of plane where there are less than 10 diameters of straight unobstructed pipe between bends. ONICON Incorporated 727-447-6140 Page 13 www.onicon.com...
• Pressurize system and check for leaks. If any leak is present, DO NOT over- tighten. Relieve pressure and loosen coupling nuts. Remove and inspect the gasket for damage. Repeat installation process. ONICON Incorporated 727-447-6140 Page 14 www.onicon.com...
When installing the meter in a vertical pipe with upward flow, you must rotate the enclosure back plate 180° when rotating the display 90°. To accomplish this, temporarily remove the four cover screws and rotate the backing plate. ONICON Incorporated 727-447-6140 Page 15 www.onicon.com...

3.4.1 Integral Mount Temperature Sensors - Direct Insertion Style 1/2 - 1" System-40 BTU Meters configured with direct insertion style are provided with one sensor pre-installed in the flow sensor body. The second sensor must be installed in the pipe opposite that of the flow sensor.
SYSTEM - 40 BTU MEASUREMENT SYSTEM 3.4.2 Remote Mount Temperature Sensors - Direct Insertion Style 1/2 - 1" System-40 BTU Meters configured with direct insertion style, provided with two threaded thermowells (or copper sweat thermowells) for use with customer supplied line size tees.
SYSTEM - 40 BTU MEASUREMENT SYSTEM 3.4.3 Remote Mount Temperature Sensors - Thermowell Style 11/4 - 21/2" System-40 BTU Meters are provided with two thermowells with ½” NPT process connections. The temperature sensors are installed in the threaded thermowells, for push-in style. They are held in placed with a set screw.
SYSTEM - 40 BTU MEASUREMENT SYSTEM 3.5 REMOTE MOUNTING THE The System-40 is provided with a mounting bracket and the cables required for ENCLOSURE remote mounting the enclosure. The cable lengths must not be altered. It has two mounting holes designed for #10 screws. The remote mounting bracket also has parallel slots that allow for the use of pipe clamps when mounting the enclosure on a stanchion or pipe.
SYSTEM - 40 BTU MEASUREMENT SYSTEM 3.6 POWER AND SIGNAL WIRING The System-40 is provided with four glands on the right side of the enclosure for CONNECTIONS power and signal cables. Each includes a strain relief for securing the cabling and a sealing cap.

** Count available in System-40 diagnostic menu page 2. Description of Sub-functions: 00 Return Query Data The data passed to the System-40 in the request data field is to be returned (looped back) in the response. The entire response message should be identical to the request.
Page 57
18 (12 Hex) Return Bus Character Overrun Count The response data field returns the quantity of messages addressed to the System-40 that it could not handle due to a character overrun condition, since its last restart, restart communications option, or power-up. A character overrun is caused by data characters arriving at the port faster than they can be stored, or by the loss of a character due to a hardware malfunction.
The MODBUS implementation of the System-40 supports the use of function FUNCTION CODE code 17, Report Slave ID. When a message is sent to the System-40 requesting to report the slave ID, the following information is returned: System-40-XXXXXX; where XXXXXX - serial number of the System-40 The System-40 will report data in decimal or HEX, depending on the control system settings.
