Series 310 Analog Transmitter (Board Only)

CODE: 8310-00


Badger Meter

Series 310
Programmable Analog Transmitter

The Data Industrial Series 310 from Badger Meter is a loop-powered, programmable 4-20mA transmitter designed to accept relatively fast, un-scaled raw pulses from devices like flow sensors and then transmit a linear analog signal of desired scaling and units of measure. In addition to standard Data Industrial flow sensors, the Series 310 can also accept a sine wave making it a versatile transmitter for numerous applicatons.

With an onboard micro-controller and digital circuitry, the Series 310 is programmed from a computer, thereby eliminating the need to adjust potentiometers and producing precise, accurate and drift-free signals. This saves both time and money by lowering overall maintenance times. This model also has an integral filter that the user can specify as values between 0 (to show true sensor readings) and 10 (for maximum dampening).

The compact cast epoxy body measures 1.75 x 2.75 x 1 inches (44 x 70 x 25 mm) and can easily be mounted to panels, DIN rails or enclosures. With field programming, input signal flexibility, ease of use and a varity of enclosures, the Series 310 is a powerful and competitive transmitter for many of today's demanding applications.

Units can be calibrated at our facility or easily programmed in the field. Field calibration requires a Data Industrial A301-20 Programming Kit (consisting of a custom cable and software) and IBM-compatible computer running a Windows® based operating system. To calibrate, the Series 310 must be connected to the loop for power, and the A301-20 Programming Kit cable must be connected to an available 9-pin COM port on the computer. If the computer does not have a DB-9 COM port, a USB-to-COM port adapter can be used.

Once the software is loaded and communications with the transmitter are established, the following parameters are entered in the setup screens:

1. Units of measure

2. K and offset values - selected from the sensor owners manual or for insert style sensors entering the pipe ID allows the software to calculate the K and offset values.

3. The flow rate represented by 4mA.

4. The flow rate represented by 20mA.

An added feature is a user selectable filter. Set for the minimum (0) the transmitter reacts to actual flow input. Set at the maximum (10) the transmitter provides the greatest dampening possible.

Once the values are set, the "send" command loads the transmitter.
