Section 1 - Introduction
About the QRATE Scanner 3300 Integrated Control Flow Computer
The QRATE Scanner 3300* integrated control ow computer is uniquely designed to serve as a stand-alone ow com-
puter or as a network manager capable of collecting and storing data from up to 20 NUFLO Scanner 2000 series ow
computers. As a stand-alone ow computer, the QRATE Scanner 3300 offers dual ow stream and bidirectional measure-
ment 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 Scan-
ner 3300 combines up to 20 external wired or wireless NUFLO Scanner 2000 series ow computers into a single scal-
able 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 ow computers or other external Modbus devices.
The QRATE Scanner 3300 is designed to be panel mounted. If desired, the display has also been designed in such a way
as to all the main enclosure to be mounted on a rack while the kiosk touch display is mounted a distance away from it.
The optional wireless communications may reduce cost by negating the need of running Ethernet to the device.
The device is approved by CSA for ordinary locations. It is designed for use with a 9-30 VDC external power supply.
The QRATE Scanner 3300 device computes the corrected (standard) amounts of uid using signals from external tur-
bine, positive displacement (PD), Venturi, Coriolis and ultrasonic ow meters and integral or remote pressure and tem-
perature sensors. The measured uids may be expressed as volume, mass or energy accumulations, or rates. See Table
1.4—Flow Rate Standards, page 15 and Table 1.5—Fluid Property and Energy Flow Calculations, page 16 for a
detailed description of supported calculations.
The QRATE Scanner 3300 kiosk touch display, when the device is connected via Ethernet or Wi-Fi, allows the user to
fully congure it directly through the display. This simplies the steps necessary for setup, and also simplies any addi-
tional calibration or conguration in the future.
In addition to its two integral ow runs, the device supports 17 inputs and outputs and communications with chromato-
graphs, 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 3300 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 8.
*Mark of Sensia
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 the kiosk touch display, 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 kiosk touch display per the instructions provided in the QRATE Scanner 3300 Web Interface
User manual.

QRATE Scanner 3300 integrated control flow computer Section 1

Remote-Mount Antenna
In locations where a physical barrier restricts the use of a direct-mount antenna or where a longer transmission distance
is required, a remote-mount antenna (Figure 1.5) 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 6 - QRATE
Scanner 3300 Parts, page 73). If purchasing cable elsewhere, verify that the cable meets the maximum capacitance and
inductance ratings (Figure 2.7, page 25) and that the cable length is adequate to connect to both the antenna and the
coupler. See Specications, page 8 for additional details.
The installation of the antenna coupler, antennas, and antenna cable must meet the requirements shown in Figure 2.7,
page 25. For installation instructions, see:
• Remote-Mount Antenna for Pole Outside Diameters up to 2 Inches, page 27
• Remote-Mount Antenna for Pipe Outside Diameters of 2 3/8 Inches, page 28

Flow Rate and Fluid Property Calculations
The QRATE Scanner 3300 calculates ow rates and uid properties for natural gas and liquid ow in accordance with
the following industry standards. The calculations compensate for the effects of pressure, temperature, and uid compo-
sition to determine mass and volume at specied base conditions. The uid corrections typically require conguration of
inputs including static pressure and temperature. The ow calculation requires conguration of differential pressure or
pulse (frequency) inputs.
