Badger Meter M-Series M3000 - Manual (Page 18)

18
Your M-3000 amplifi er is delivered preprogrammed, based
on information available at the time the unit was ordered. In
most instances it will not require any changes.
Use this section to program fl ow signal outputs or reprogram
your meter to specifi c requirements.
Flow measurement and totalizing continues during amplifi er
programming.
Two Programming Methods
There are two methods for programming.
In one method a magnet wand is used to manipulate +, -
and E switches to view and change screens and program
functions and settings. The amplifi er display chamber cover
stays on.
The other method involves removing the display chamber
cover and manipulating the +, - and E push buttons to view
and change settings and program desired meter functions
and settings.
AMPLIFIER SCREENS, MENUS and PROGRAMMING
Amplifi er programming requires planning, moving and
activating the +, - and E selections on three types of menu/
parameter screens, List screen, Input Numbers screen and
select ON or Off screen.
MAIN SCREEN(S)
The fi rst screen is the Main Screen. It is always displayed
when programming functions are not occurring.
NOTE: When programming, if no contact is made with
switches or buttons for 2 minutes, in any parameter, the
display returns automatically to your programmed Main
Screen.
Two Main Screen Format settings are possible. Which
setting to use is determined by the fl uid Flow Direction
through your meter. The settings are Uni-Directional fl ow or
Bi-Directional fl ow (reference page 24, "Set FLow Rate Unit
of Measure and Set Totalizer Unit of Measure" to porgram
fl ow units).
Both main screens display the rate of fl ow (R=) and fl ow
units).
Uni-Directional Flow Main Screen
Uni-directional Flow totalizes pipe fl ow in only one direction,
the fl ow direction arrow printed on the detector label.
(reference page 25, "Set Flow Direction" to program for uni-
directional mode)
Uni-directional readings, on the main display screen, are
identifi ed as R=, T1, T2 and PS.
R= Flow Rate
T1 registers Forward Volume
T2 registers Forward Volume and can be reset through Input
1.
PS registers Preset Batch Amount
With this information an operator can tell at a glance the
volume going through the meter.
Bi-Directional Flow Main Screen
Bi-Directional Flow totalizes pipe fl ow in both directions
(reference pag
e 25, "Set Flow Direction" to program for Bi-
Directional Mode)
Bi-directional totalizers readings, on the display screen, are
identifi ed as R=, T+, T- , TN and PS.
R= Flow Rate
T+ registers Forward Volume
T- registers Reverse Volume
TN Net Total = (T+) - (T-)
PS registers Present Batch Amount
With this information an operator can tell at a glance the
volume going through the meter in both directions.
