UP Arrow (

) – In program modes scrolls forward through the parameter choices and increments numeric variables

RIGHT Arrow (

) – In program modes scrolls backward through the parameter choices and moves the active digit

to the right
ENTER – Used to save program information, advance to the next programming parameter, and in the reset process

PROGRAMUsed to program variables into the display
EXTENDED PROGRAMMING Used to program advanced variables into the display
TEST Used as a diagnostic tool to show input frequency and totalizer counts

If your monitor was ordered with a Badger Meter flow sensor, the two components ship from the factory configured as a set

If the monitor is a replacement, the flow sensor's K factor has changed, or the monitor is being used with some other pulse

generating device; programming is necessary

Programming Using Frequency Output Flow Sensors

Each Badger Meter flow sensor is shipped with either a K factor value or frequency data If frequency data is provided, the

data must be converted to a K factor before programming the monitor The K factor represents the number of pulses per unit

of volume (See

K Factors Explained

in the

APPENDIX

of this manual The K factor is needed to program the monitor

Essentials

Two models of the ER-500 monitor are available The standard model provides flow rates and two types of totals The

Advanced model adds the additional functions of alarm / setpoint outputs and Modbus communications over a RS485 buss

The ER-500 monitor was engineered to provide several levels of programming tailored to the needs of the user
The first program level in both version provides access to the most commonly used setup parameters bypassing the more

advanced settings The first level programming is entered by pressing and holding the MENU button for about 1 second
The second level or extended settings are accessed by pressing and holding the MENU button until the first menu item of the

extended programming menu appears
With the standard monitors there is a third programming level The user has a choice of either Simple or Advance unit

selections For basic unit setup choices the ER-500 monitor uses the simple mode The simple setup option is accessed

through the Rate SU rate setup parameter If simple is selected the rate and total choices are reduced to the five most

common combinations avoiding the need to make unit and interval choices
When Advance is selected all rate, total, and time interval choices are available
