INTRODUCTION
The Data Industrial Series 380 Btu System from Badger Meter provides a low cost solution for metering cold or hot systems.
The 380CS/HS can accurately measure flow and temperature differential to compute energy. Utilizing BACnet or Modbus
RS-485 communications protocols or a scaled pulse output, the Btu System can interface with many existing control systems.
The rugged design incorporates an impeller flow sensor and two temperature probes. One temperature probe is conveniently
mounted directly in the flow sensor tee. The second temperature probe is placed on either the supply or the return line
depending on installation requirements. These minimal connections help simplify installation and save time.
The main advantage of the Series 380 Btu System is the cost savings over other systems offered on the market today.
The integration of flow and temperature sensors, along with metering components provide a single solution for metering.
With this system, it will be possible to meter energy where metering had not cost effective.
Commissioning of this meter can be completed in the field via a computer connection. Setup includes energy measurement
units, measurement method, communications protocol, pulse output option, fluid density and specific heat parameters.
Cold Service (380CS)
Designed for operating in fluid temperatures of -4F to 140F (-20C to 60C). Refer to the pressure vs. temperature chart on
page 11.
Hot Service (380HS)
Designed for operating in fluid temperatures of 40F to 260F (4C to 125C). Refer to the pressure vs. temperature chart on
page 11.
Series 380
The 380 combines an electronics package with a PEEK sensor probe inserted in a 3/4", 1", 1-1/4", 1-1/2" and 2" proprietary cast
bronze pipe tee with threaded NPT connections.

MECHANICAL INSTALLATION
General
The accuracy of flow measurement for all flow measuring devices is highly dependent on proper location of the sensor in the
piping system. Irregular flow velocity profiles caused by valves, fittings, pipe bends, etc. can lead to inaccurate overall flow
rate indications, even though local flow velocity measurement may be accurate. A sensor located in the pipe can be affected
by air bubbles, floating debris, or sediment may not achieve full accuracy and could be damaged. Badger Meter flow sensors
are designed to operate reliably under adverse conditions, but the following recommendations should be followed to ensure
maximum system accuracy.
1. Choose a location along the pipe where 10 pipe diameters upstream and 5 pipe diameters downstream of the
sensor provide no flow disturbances. Pipe bends, valves, other fittings, pipe enlargements and reductions should not
be present in this length of pipe.
2. The recommended location for the sensor around the circumference of a horizontal pipe is on top of the pipe. The
sensor should never be located at the bottom of the pipe, as sediment may collect there. Locations away from the
top-center on a pipe cause the impeller friction to increase, which may affect performance at low flow rates. Any
circumferential location is correct for installation in vertical pipes. Rising flow is preferred to reduce effects of any
trapped air.
ELECTRICAL INSTALLATION
1. The Series 380 requires an isolated 12-24 V AC/DC power supply. To avoid ground fault conditions, the 380 power
should not be shared with other devices. This is especially true when the RS-485 network connections are being
utilized, where damage to the product or system could result.
The power connections are labeled 1 and 2 and are not polarity sensitive.
2. The RS-485 requires three connections: RS-485+, RS-485- and REF.
The connections are labeled 1 (+), 2 (-) and 3 (GND). RS-485 is a high-speed connection and should be wired to meet
TIA-EIA-485-A standards.
This is especially true if a long cable run is involved or multiple devices are to be networked.
3. The pulse output is a simple solid state switch.
The connections are labeled "PULSE OUTPUT 1" and "PULSE OUTPUT 2". The switch is not polarity sensitive, however,
be careful that the maximum voltage and current ratings are not exceeded. See "SPECIFICATIONS" on page 11 for
details.
Note: The pulse and RS-485 may be used simultaneously.

COMMISSIONING
All setup and commissioning of the Series 380 is done using a USB to Mini USB cable and the Badger Meter Series 380
commissioning software.
Figure 2 shows the main setup screen. Flow and Energy rates and totals can be selected or a custom unit can be put in with
the correct conversion factor.
For the temperature sensors the user can select the units along with the calculation mode, i.e., T1>T2, Absolute, or T1<T2.
The Diff Zero parameter is the difference between T1 and T2 that will still read 0 energy rate.
If the Scaled Pulse Output is going to be used, the user can select what the pulse is representing (Energy or Flow), along with
Units/Pulse and the pulse width. If the Scaled Pulse Output is not going to be used, this output can be set to OFF.
Figure 3 shows the communication parameters tab. The user can select BACnet or Modbus along with the network address.
If using BACnet, the the Device Name, Device ID BACnet BitRate and the Max Master number should be entered for the
appropriate network for which the 380 is being connected.
