INTRODUCTION

The Badger Meter® Data Industrial® Series 3050 BTU flow monitor is an economical, full featured, compact unit designed for
sub-metering applications .
The two line × 16-character alphanumeric display shows any combination of Energy Rate, Energy Total, Flow Rate or Flow Total .
You can configure both preprogrammed and user-defined units of measure .
The Series 3050 BTU flow monitor accepts pulse or linear analog input signals . Like all Badger Meter flow monitors, the
Series 3050 BTU flow monitor may be field-calibrated . For Badger Meter sensors, K and offset numbers are entered, while other
pulse or frequency output sensors may use a K-factor only . Analog inputs are fully programmable for slope and intercept .
The flow monitor requires two temperature units and can accept 10 kΩ thermistors, 100 Ω three-wire RTDs or user-defined
custom thermistors or RTDs .
The panel-mounted model has a NEMA 4X rated front panel and conforms to DIN Standard dimensions, 96 mm × 96 mm, for
meter sizes and panel cutouts . An optional NEMA 4 wall-mount model is also available .

Programming

You can program the flow sensor from the front panel by entering a K and offset or only a K-factor, depending on the flow
sensor used .
Programming is menu driven . All data is entered using the LCD/keypad interface . A password gate is included to prevent
unauthorized access to programming parameters . Programming flexibility is extended to units of measure . In addition to
several factory units of measure, the Series 3050 BTU flow monitor software lets you create custom units for rate and total .
The Series 3050 BTU flow monitor provides one Form C solid-state relay, and one solid-state switch output . Both are fully
programmable as Pulse or Volume, or Setpoint control-based Flow Rate, Flow Total, Energy Rate, Energy Total, Temperature 1,
Temperature 2 or Delta T . For pulse output, you can program both the resolution and the pulse width . The Setpoint control is
extremely versatile with fully independent set and release points, each with its own time delay .
LEDs on the front panel indicate status of both the relay and pulse outputs .
All calibration information, units of measure and flow totals are stored in a non-volatile memory that does not require battery
backup for data retention .

Options

• Analog output
• USB
• RS485
• BACnet
• Modbus®
• Wall mounting

SAFETY INFORMATION

The installation of the flow monitor must comply with all applicable federal, state, and local rules, regulations, and codes .
Failure to read and follow these instructions can lead to misapplication or misuse of the flow monitor, resulting in personal
injury and damage to equipment .
