Energy Transmitter Owner's manual

Connection to the RS-485 network should not be made until the 340 BN/MB Btu Energy Transmitter has been configured per
the instructions in "Programming" on page 14.
See RS-485 Network Configuration on page 19.
Communications Cable Wiring
Field configuration requires a Data Industrial programming kit (consisting of a custom cable and software) and a PC running
Windows 9x, ME, NT, 2000 or Windows 7. In order to connect, the 340 BN/MB Btu Energy Transmitter must be powered, and
the Data Industrial Series A301 cable must be connected to the 340 BN/MB Btu Energy Transmitter COM port connector and
an available 9-pin COM port on a computer. USB to COM Port adapters can be used if the DB9 COM port is not available.
NOT:N The Data Industrial 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 340 BN/MB Btu Energy Transmitters.
Badger Meter provides free programming software updates via the Internet for all Series 300 products. Go to
www.badgermeter.com. Software updates can be found in the Industrial/Impeller/Transmitter section.
