Section 1—Introduction
About the QRATE Scanner 3100 integrated control ow computer
The QRATE Scanner* 3100 integrated control ow computer is uniquely designed to serve as a stand-alone
ow computer or as a network manager capable of collecting and storing data from up to 20 NUFLO Scan-
ner 2000 Series ow computers. As a stand-alone ow computer, the QRATE Scanner 3100 offers dual ow
stream and bidirectional measurement and control, as well as the processing power to handle the industry’s
most challenging ow computations for liquid and natural gas measurement. For operations requiring the
monitoring of several measurement points, the QRATE Scanner 3100 combines up to 20 external wired or
wireless NUFLO Scanner 2000 Series devices into a single scalable local area network that can be managed
via a web browser-based interface. Each of the three serial ports can support multiple wired NUFLO Scanner
2000 Series devices or other external Modbus devices. Optional wireless communications signicantly reduce
installation costs and setup time and increase worker safety.
The device is explosion-proof and approved by for ATEX/IECEx Zone 1 hazardous area installations and for
CSA Class I, Division 1 hazardous area installations. It is designed for use with a 9-30 VDC external power
supply (9 to 24 VDC in Mexico installations) and two optional lithium battery packs for backup power.
The QRATE Scanner 3100 can be ordered with a multivariable transmitter (MVT) and paired with a cone or
orice meter for accurate measurement of liquids and natural gas. The Scanner device also computes the
corrected (standard) amounts of uid using signals from external turbine, positive displacement (PD), Venturi,
Coriolis and ultrasonic ow meters and integral or remote pressure and temperature sensors. The measured
uids may be expressed as volume, mass or energy accumulations or rates. See Table 1.4—Flow Rate Stan-
dards, page 21 and Table 1.5—Fluid Property and Energy Flow Calculations, page 22 for a detailed de-
scription of supported calculations.
In addition to its two integral ow runs, the device supports 17 inputs and outputs and communications with
chromatographs, samplers, and densitometers.
The device logs daily and hourly ow data for each ow run, and provides one-second triggered logging for
analysis of critical events. High-speed communication via Modbus and Enron Modbus protocols makes it
easy to integrate the QRATE Scanner 3100 into other measurement systems. When congured for use with
Modbus master protocol, each of the device’s three serial ports can log up to 128 data points from external
Modbus devices.
For a complete list of specications, see Specications, page 13.
Web Browser-Based Interface
A web browser-based interface equips you to congure ow runs, gas streams, and inputs/outputs, calibrate
inputs, and view archive data from a laptop, tablet, smartphone, or other browser-enabled mobile device
without installing software. You need only an Ethernet connection and an IP address to connect to the device.
Four user security levels are available for customizing access for up to 20 users. An electronic user manual
(PDF) is embedded in the interface, providing searchable on-screen help. To position the manual alongside
the user interface for simultaneous viewing, congure your laptop per the instructions provided in the QRATE
Scanner 3100 Web Interface User manual.

Battery Packs
Sensia’s dual lithium battery packs (Figure 1.3, page 4) provide backup power for the QRATE Scanner
3100. Battery life can vary signicantly depending on the input and output congurations in use. For continu-
ous operation, an external primary power supply is required (9 to 30 VDC at 210 mA; for Mexico installations,
use 9 to 24 VDC at 210 mA).

WARNING EXPLOSION RISK. Housing temperature must not exceed 70 °C (158 °F). Excessive tem-
peratures, which could result from ambient conditions combined with radiated and conduc-
tive heat from the process, could cause the internal lithium battery to ignite or explode.
Each stick-style battery pack contains two 3.6 V batteries. Together, the dual packs can autonomously power
the device for a short period (approximately 2 to 3 weeks with a default conguration) in the event of a pri-
mary power outage. With dual packs installed, you can replace a depleted battery pack without interrupting
operations even when the device is operating solely on battery power.
For more information on battery replacement, see Lithium Battery Pack Replacement, page 85.
Battery packs
Figure 1.3—Lithium stick-style battery packs
Explosion-Proof Control Switch
An external explosion-proof control switch (Figure 1.4) allows you to manually control the operation of a pe-
ripheral device (such as a radio), unlatch an alarm, or reset a total being accumulated by the device, depend-
ing on how it is congured. The switch is available in either of two models:
• Toggle Switch. Opens or closes a circuit with each push and release of the button. Uses include manual
control of ow accumulation, and manual control of a triggered archive.
• Momentary Switch. Opens or closes a circuit when the button is pushed and held in position. Unlike the
toggle switch, the switch action is terminated upon release of the button. Uses include pacing the display,
toggling a wireless transmitter on and off, resetting grand totals for ow run or pulse input accumulations,
unlatching a digital output, and resetting a latch on a triggered archive.

Section 1 QRATE Scanner 3100 Integrated Control Flow Computer

Control switches are wired and pre-congured at the factory (Figure 1.5) when they are purchased with the
device. However, you can change the conguration via the web interface. A momentary switch is connected to
DIO Terminal 5 at the factory, and a toggle switch is connected to DIO Terminal 6. See Digital Inputs—Contact
Closure, page 61 and Digital Outputs, page 64 for wiring diagrams.
Either switch is available with a factory-installed mechanical lockout device (Figure 1.4, page 4, right) that
can be used with a lock or a seal to prevent unauthorized changes to the switch position as is sometimes re-
quired for audit compliance.
IMPORTANT When a mechanical lockout device is required, the lockout must be installed in the switch
at the factory. A lockout mechanism cannot be added to an existing device control switch
after the switch is installed.

Wireless Communications
The QRATE Scanner 3100 wireless communications option includes factory-installed WiFi and SmartMesh
wireless radio modules and couplers (Figure 1.8) that enables an external antenna to be safely used in a haz-
ardous area.
Explosion-proof Coupler
An explosion-proof coupler is factory-installed in the top left conduit opening of the QRATE Scanner 3100
enclosure and the coupler cable is factory-connected to the radio module inside the enclosure. The coupler is
rated for compliance with CSA (North America) or ATEX certication requirements. See Table 7.2—Wireless
Components, page 89 for replacement part numbers.
Direct-Mount Antenna
The Sensia-supplied right-angle antenna (Figure 1.8) connects directly to the threaded coupler connection on
the bottom right hand corner of the enclosure. When installing the antenna, ensure that it is in a vertical posi-
tion well above ground level and positioned away from large structures that could interfere with signal trans-
mission and reception.
Sensia’s direct-mount antenna is rated for a maximum of 1 watt of power and a maximum antenna gain of 1.6
dB (in North America) and has a frequency range of 2.35 to 2.60 GHz. Antennas with equivalent ratings may
also be used with the coupler.

SmartMesh Remote-Mount Antenna
In locations where a physical barrier restricts the use of a direct-mount antenna or where a longer transmis-
sion distance is required, a remote-mount antenna (Figure 1.9, page 8) may be installed up to 30 ft (10 m)
away and connected by cable to the antenna coupler. A remote-mount antenna and connecting cable may be
purchased from Sensia (see Section 7—QRATE Scanner 3100 Parts, page 87). If purchasing cable else-
where, verify that the cable meets the maximum capacitance and inductance ratings (Figure 2.5, page 30)
and that the cable length is adequate to connect to both the antenna and the coupler. See Specications,
page 13 for additional details.
The installation of the antenna coupler, antennas, and antenna cable must meet the requirements shown in
Figure 2.4 and Figure 2.5, page 30. For installation instructions, see:
• Remote-Mount Antenna for Pole Outside Diameters up to 2 Inches, page 32

Figure 1.13—QRATE Scanner 3100 Web Interface Conguration Lock Mode
The conguration locking modes are as follows:
• Disabled. - Regardless of the position of the Physical Conguration Lock switch, the conguration
changes will be restricted by user access level only.
• Secured Conguration (Category 3)
–Must be enabled in the software interface.
–The conguration is secured by an event logger.
–If 1000 or less unused or previously exported User Event records (out of a total of 81,920 user event
records), and no conguration changes are permitted. Lock glyph is displayed as closed.
–If More than 1000 unused or previously exported User Event records (out of a total of 81,920 user
event records), and conguration changes are permitted. Lock glyph is displayed as open.
–Verication Triggering Events (VTEs) are supported.
• Conguration Seal (Category 2)
–Must be enabled in the software interface.
–The Physical Conguration Lock switch determines if conguration is locked (no changes permitted).
Switch is engaged (set toward the front of the Scanner). No conguration changes are permitted.
Lock glyph is displayed as closed.
Switch is disengaged (set toward the back of the Scanner). The conguration is not locked and
conguration changes are permitted.

Note For Secured Conguration (Category 3):
Verication Triggering Events (VTEs) are enabled, and will show on the LCD if there is a
change to a legally relevant metrological parameter.
User changes will be restricted when the User Event log becomes nearly full, and the
event records must be downloaded to allow further changes.
It is not possible to freely erase User Event change log records. Log records may only be
overwritten after a user with sufcient permissions exports the log to an external memory,
including date and time of intervention.
This is compliant with Measurement Canada Specication S-EG-06.
For Conguration Seal (Category 2):
Verication Triggering Events (VTEs) are disabled.
Physical Conguration Lock Switch
The Physical Conguration Lock switch is located inside the QRATE Scanner 3100 housing along the top
edge of the display circuit board assembly, just left of center (Figure 1.15). If a Conguration Lock Mode has
been software enabled, the switch may be engaged (set toward the front of the Scanner) to activate the mode
and restrict or prevent conguration of the device. Details for each mode on page 10.

The position of the Physical Conguration Lock switch may be veried (i.e. that the switch has been fully
engaged) by observing the LCD display. When the switch has been fully engaged a Lock Glyph will be dis-
played. Otherwise, no lock glyph will appear.
When the locked lock glyph appears, no conguration changes may be made, until the seal has been broken
and the Physical Conguration Lock switch has been disengaged.
When the unlocked lock glyph appears, conguration changes may still be made (as per the description on
page 10.
When no lock glyph appears on the LCD, he conguration changes will be allowed, and restricted by user ac-
cess level only.
