Product Description
The Badger Meter Data Industrial Series 3050 Btu Monitor is an economical, full-featured compact unit designed for
sub-metering applications.
The two line x 16-character alphanumeric displays any combination of Energy Rate, Energy Total, Flow Rate or Flow Total.
Both preprogrammed and user defined units of measure can be configured by the user.
The Series 3050 accepts pulse or linear analog input signals. Like all Data Industrial flow monitors, the Series 3050 may be
field calibrated by the user. For Data Industrial 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 unit requires two temperature units and can accept 10 K ohm thermistors, 100Ώ three wire RTDs or user defined custom
thermistors or RTDs.
The panel meter has a NEMA 4X rated front panel and conforms to DIN Standard dimensions, 96 mm X 96 mm, for meter sizes
and panel cutouts. Optional NEMA 4 wall mount is also available.

Series 3050 Btu Monitor
Series 3050 Btu Monitor Programming
The user 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 3000 Series software permits the custom units for rate and total to be created by the
installer.
The Series 3050 provides one Form C solid-state relay, and one solid-state switch output. Both are fully programmable as
either Pulse/Volume, or Set Point control-based Flow Rate, Flow Total, Energy Rate, Energy Total, Temperature 1, Temperature
2 or Delta T. For pulse output, the installer can program both the resolution and the pulse width. Set Point control is extremely
versatile with fully independent set and release points, each with its own time delay.
LEDs located 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.

INSTALLATION
Mechanical Installation
The Series 3050 Btu Monitor can be either panel mounted or wall mounted.
Location
In any mounting arrangement the primary concern is easy viewing and convenient operation of the keypad. The unit
generates very little heat, so no consideration need be given to cooling or ventilation. However, prolonged direct sunlight can
damage the front panel so some level of shading is recommended, especially if installed in a tropical climate.
Panel Mount Installation
The Series 3050 panel mount is designed for through panel mounting, which allows access to the back of the unit. The Series
3050 Btu Monitor is secured to the panel by two draw brackets shown in Figure 1 below. Also refer to Figure 1 for monitor and
panel cutout dimensions.
Figure 1: Series 3050 Panel Mount and Mounting Dimensions

Page 8 6-11
Series 3050 Btu Monitor
Wall Mount Installation
The Series 3050 wall mount is designed to mount onto a wall with four bolts or screws. The mounting hole pattern and box
dimensions for the Series 3050 NEMA4 waII mount are shown in Figure 2.
Figure 2: Wall Mount and Dimensions
Electrical Installation
Power Supply Wiring
The Series 3050 Btu Monitor requires 12-24 VDC/VAC to operate. Check the Specifications on page 29 for DC current draw
and AC Volt-Amp requirements.
A fused circuit is always recommended.
Connect the positive of the power supply to the Series 3050 terminal marked (ACL/DC+), and connect the negative of the
power supply to the Series 3050 terminal marked (ACC/DC-).
If a Badger Meter Data Industrial plug-in power supply (Model A1026, A-503) is being used, connect the black-white wire to
the terminal marked (ACL/DC+) and the black wire to the terminal marked (ACC/DC-).

Flow Sensor Wiring
The Series 3050 flow sensor inputs are extremely versatile, designed to accept either two-wire or three-wire pulse inputs
(Data Industrial 200 Series, SDI or 4000 Series) or Analog inputs. Although different rear panel terminals are used, all
parameters are set with the LCD/keypad interface. There are no internal or external jumpers, switches or potentiometers to
move or adjust.
The following pulse input types are accommodated.
• Pulse-DI: Used for all Badger Meter Data Industrial Flow Sensors. Provides an internal pull-up resistor and uses “K”
and “Offset” values for calibration.
• Pulse–K Factor: Accepts non zero-crossing inputs but provides no internal pull-up, classical “K” ( pulses/gallon)
values for calibration.
• Pull-up-K Factor: Provides an internal pull-up resistor and uses classical “K” ( pulses/gallon) values for calibration.
NOTE: All the above pulse input types wire the same as shown in Figure 4. See the Programming Flow Chart on
page 18 for required input configuration.

Analog Input
As an alternative to the pulse inputs, the Series 3050 can accept an Analog input. The input is non-isolated, but can accept
0-1VDC, 0-5VDC, 0-10VDC, 0-20mA and 4-20mA with both factory-defined and custom units of measure.
Low impedance 100 Ohm input for current inputs optimizes performance and flexibility or loop power supplies. Both the
low- and high-end scaling are independent and field configured by the installer.

Temperature Input
The Series 3050 Btu Monitor can accept inputs from either a pair of thermistors or RTDs. The inputs are labeled T1 and T2.
Since the T1 sensor is used to convert the volumetric flow (Example: GPM) to the mass flow ( Example: Lbs/Hr) used in the Btu
calculations, the sensor connected to T1 should be in the same supply or return line as the Flow Sensor.
The temperature inputs of the Series 3050 are extremely versatile. In addition to the factory default two-wire10k @77°F Type
II Thermistors and three-wire 100 ohm Platinum RTDs, the unit can be programmed in the field for a wide variety of custom
RTDs and thermistors. Refer to the Programming Flow Chart. Contact the factory for assistance with any custom inputs.

Series 3050 Btu Monitor
Solid State Switch and Form“C” Output Wiring
The Series 3050 Btu Monitor has one Normally Open (N.O.) solid state switch, and one solid state form “C” relay.
Check the Specifications on page 29 for maximum voltage and current ratings for each type output. These outputs are
completely independent, electrically isolated, and can be programmed as either Pulse or Set Point outputs.
When the “Totalizer” function is selected, the unit of measure and resolution are independent from the displayed units and
can be programmed where one pulse occurs once every 0000000.1 to 999999999. of units selected, with any pulse width
from 0001 to 9999mS.
When the “Alarm”is selected as the unit of measure and the resolution is independent from the displayed units, it allows the
unit to be programmed as either a high or low rate Set Point. Since the Set Point, Release Point and their associated time
delays are fully independent, this output can be either a classical high rate or low rate alarm, depending on the settings
selected. When design planning, keep in mind that although both of these outputs can be programmed as alarm points only,
the relay provides both N.O. and N.C. contacts. The switch is a simple N.O. contact.
Examples:
High Flow Set Point Control
The Set Point must be a value greater than the Release Point.
The relay output will have continuity between its N.C. terminal and “COM”until the flow has exceeded the Set Point (“SETPT”)
for a continuous period of time exceeding the Set Point Delay (“SDLY”), at which time the N.C. connection will open and the
N.O. contact will have continuity to the“COM” terminal. When the flow has dropped below the Release Point (“RELP") for a
continuous period of time exceeding the Release Point Delay (“RDLY”), the relay states will return to their original states. If the
latch has been set to“ON”, the relay will not release until manually reset once the Set Point and Set Delay have been satisfied.
Sources for the Set Point control can be Flow Rate, Energy Rate, T1, T2 or Delta T.
Low Flow Set Point Control
The Set Point must be a value less than the Release Point.
The relay output will have continuity between its N.C. terminal and “COM”until the flow drops below the Set Point (“SETPT”)
for a continuous period of time exceeding the Set Point Delay(“SDLY”), at which time the N.C. connection will open and the
N.O. contact will have continuity to the“COM” terminal. When the flow has again risen above the Release Point (“RELP”) for a
continuous period of time exceeding the Release Point Delay (“RDLY”), the relay states will return to their original states. If the
latch has been set to“ON”, the relay will not release until manually reset once the Set Point and Set Delay have been satisfied.
Sources for the Set Point control can be Flow Rate, Energy Rate, T1, T2 or Delta T.

Series 3050 Btu Monitor
DISPLAY AND KEY PAD
The Series 3050 Btu Monitor has a two line by 16-character display with two modes of operation and 5 keys on the front panel
for programming. Two of the keys( Menu and Enter) serve a single function while the three remaining keys () serve dual
purposes.
When the Series 3050 is first powered up, it runs through internal self checks while displaying “Badger Meter DIC
Initializing." At the end of this cycle its normal mode display will appear.
In the normal mode, if still using the factory defaults, Flow Rate will be displayed on the top line, and Flow Total displayed on
the bottom. Both lines can be custom-defined in the field as desired. In the normal mode the Enter key has no function.
Figure 16: Normal Mode Display
The other mode is the program mode, used to configure the unit. Enter and exit this mode by pressing the Menu key. See the
programming flow chart.

PROGRAMMING
With the normal mode display showing, pressing the Menu key will enter the programming mode. In this mode, the three
arrow keys () are used on the selection screens to select the option displayed above the key, and on the option list
screens to scroll up or down a list of choices, like a pull-down menu. It should be noted that most screens presenting choices
show three choices, one for each arrow key. When the number of choices exceeds three, a small arrow () appears on the
upper right side of the display indicating there are more choices on that level. Pressing Enter toggles to the next set of
choices. Once the selection has been made, the Enter key also is used to complete the selection. Pressing the Menu key
returns back to the normal mode display.
Selection Screens
Most selection screens show three choices, one for each arrow () key. When the number of choices exceeds three, a
small arrow ( ) appears on the upper right side of the display indicating there are more choices on that level. Press Enter to
view the next set of choices.
For example, pressing Menu from the normal mode screen shows the“RESET SETUP DIAG” screen. Pressing the key brings
up the reset screens. The key brings up the setup screens and the key brings up the diagnostic screens. If thekey is
pressed, the screen would appear as follows.
Figure 18: Selection Screen
Option List Screens
Units of measure is an example of an options list screen.
Pressing the key scrolls up the list while the key scrolls down through the list. In this case starting with GPM; gal/s; gal/
hr;…LPM;….ending in a selection of custom units.
Pressing Enter completes the selection. Pressing Menu leaves the selection unchanged. The key has no function on this
type of screen.
Figure 19: Options List Screen
Data Screens
Some screens are data entry screens. For example, Set Points or Custom Units screens.
When a data entry screen is first displayed, the current value will be displayed. The cursor will be flashing the most left hand
digit. Pressing the key will increase the value. The key will reduce it. If the cursor is flashing the decimal point pressing
thekey will move the decimal point to the right, pressing the key will move the decimal to the left.
