Communications Cable Wiring
Field calibration requires a Badger Meter Series A330
Programming kit (consisting of a custom cable and software)
and a PC running Windows
® XP or Vista. In order to
program, the Badger ® Series 330 must be connected to
power, and the Series A301 cable must be connected to the
Series 330 Com port connector and an available 9-pin Com
port on a computer.
Note:
The Badger Meter Series A301 Cable will work with all
Series 300 products. However the older version of the
cable (A300) does not have sufficient bandwidth to work
with the Series 340 transmitters.
Badger Meter provides free programming software updates
via the Internet for all Badger Series 300 devices. Go to
www.badgermeter.com for these updates.

Programming the Badger Series 330 is accomplished by
installing the Badger Meter programming software on a
computer and entering data on templates of the Windows
®
based program.
1. Load the interface software into the computer.
2. Connect the computer to the Series 330 transmitter with
the Badger Meter Model A-301 communications cable
to the socket labeled “D.I.C Com port”, taking care to
properly align the tab on the plug and socket to main-
tain polarity. Connect the DB9 connector of the Badger
Meter Model A301 communications cable to a PC Com
port that has the Series 330 software installed.
3. Connect the Series 330 transmitter to a power supply.
4. Open the interface software and select the appropriate
Com port as shown in the dialog box below.
5. Open the Parameters Screen as shown below.
DEFINItIONS:
High alarm –
A condition where if the flow rate exceeds
the set point the relay is energized.
low alarm - A condition where if the flow rate drops below
the set point the relay is energized.
Set Point – The flow rate that will trigger the event. (i.e.
energize the relay).
Release Point – The flow rate that will de-energize the relay.
Set Point Delay – A time interval in seconds between the
point when the flow rate crosses the set point and the relay
energizes.
Release Point Delay - A time interval in seconds between
the point when the flow rate crosses the release point and
the relay de-energizes.
latch – A function that will hold the relay in the energized
state until reset even if the flow rate crosses the release
point.
Remote Reset - Reset is the ability to interrupt all timing
functions and return them to the initial programmed settings
and/or de-energize the relay coil that has been latched as a
result of an alarm function.
This reset may be accomplished by momentarily
disconnecting the power supply or connecting an external
device to the reset terminals.
Filter Coefficient - An averaging routine that smooths out
unstable flow. The non-linear reference scale from 0-9
defaults to a value of 2. Do not change unless flow changes
interfere with the control functions.
