Hardware Overview Model 3700 Features and Specifications Processor Ar m9 embedded CPU, Ar m7 io coprocessor Operating System Linux Flash Memory 16 MB flash Memory 32 MB ram LED 8x input, 4 modem activity, Modbus TX/ RX, power, system, IO status Console 2 x 16 character LCD, two pushbuttons LAN RJ45 10/100 Ethernet, full half duplex, auto polarity Modem V.
Note: Low Voltage analog, pulse, and RS485 wiring that enters electrical panels must have a minimum insulation rating that exceeds the voltage inside the panel. In addition, other regulations may apply; consult the building codes in your area prior to installation. Note: Some Modbus devices do not use the same label notation as the Model 3700. Rather than +,-,S, Emon uses Low, High, and Gnd. To attach an Emon meter, use + to High, - to Low, and shield to Gnd.
time installation, all devices should appear as “new”. The Model 3700 Internal I/O (pulse and analog inputs) appear as one device in this list. (Note: A “device” is the Modbus connected device, not necessarily the sensor. For example, an A8923-4 I/O module with 4 sensors connected is only one modbus device, not four.) For further information on the LCD console, please review the console section of this manual. E. The Model 3700 completes a background scan for new Modbus devices every 2-5 minutes.
Step 3 - Set the Netmask, gateway, and DNS server(s) addresses as noted in the chart “Network Address Worksheet” using the same technique as shown on the previous page. The only change is that after Step B, press the menu (top) button multiple times to see the netmask, gateway, and dns setup menu, then push the select button to set the option. Note: If DHCP configuration is selected, the IP, netmask, gateway, and DNS server addresses will be obtained automatically.
B. In the network setup dialog, there should be a list of items including adapters, clients and protocols. Locate the item labeled “Internet Protocol (TCP/IP)”. Note: If you have multiple ethernet cards, you may have multiple lines labeled TCP/IP —> ethernet card. Locate the ethernet card that corresponds to the physical connection to the Model 3700 and then select the TCP/IP option that is linked with that ethernet card. C. Double click the TCP/IP option you selected in step B above.
If you select a manual transfer method, remove (blank out) the target address in the Modbus/Upload Data page. Security The Model 3700 has three levels of security. These are operator, user and admin. When using a browser to access the Model 3700, basic http authentication is used to prompt your browser for a username and password. The admin account uses admin as the default password. To change the password, select the Accounts menu from the left side tree display. Next, select the account name.
Advanced: At the lower right corner of the page, an advanced configuration button may be present depending on the Modbus device features. 3. For each input that you wish to use, click the Config Point button to the right of the input. 4. The input configuration requires several options. The input mode will control how the input functions. This includes measuring voltage, current, resistance, pulse, or runtime. Use the dropdown menu to select the mode that is appropriate for your sensor.
The Contact Open Threshold can be used in conjunction with a 20K resistor in parallel with the contact closure. When the contact is open, the Model 3700 will read 20K, when closed, it will read <100ohms. If the wire is broken, the reading will go above 20k ohms, and will cause an alarm condition. The Pulse count for instantaneous rate value specifies the number of pulses to use to calculate the instantaneous rate, min, and max fields in pulse mode. 7.
Modbus Parity: This feature allows alternate parity options to be set. Default is no parity. address on the SMTP mail server; check with your mail server administrator for specific details on this issue. Modbus Stopbit: This feature allows alternate stop bit options to be set. Default is one stop bit. Recipient Address 1 (2,3): The Model 3700 can send a copy of the alarm notice to multiple email addresses. Specify one, two or three email addresses in the fields provided for the recipient addresses.
you don’t have a proxy set on your computer (MSIE/Tools/ Connections-tab/LAN-Settings) then you most likely don’t need to configure the Model 3700 to use a proxy. If in doubt, leave this blank first, and try the connection test. If it fails, ask your LAN administrator about proxy servers, if any. After changing any of the settings on this page, you will be required to reboot the Model 3700. Use the system/status web configuration page, or the LCD console to reboot the Model 3700.
Dial-Out Server Details Dial-out prefix and long distance access code (if needed) i.e. dial 9 for an outside line: ______ ISP or RAS telephone number: _________________ ISP or RAS login name: _________________ ISP or RAS password: _________________ a SIM card from your service provider. Install the SIM card in the slot provided on the right side of the cellular modem inside the Model 3700. Dial-out Worksheet Run the modem diagnostics test to confirm the SIM card is installed and working correctly.
will support the Windows built-in dial-up networking features, and can be used as easily as a dial-up ISP service. Step 1: Collect the necessary information. You will need some details about the ISP or RAS you will be calling. Dial-In Details A dedicate phone line is required, and can not be shared with a fax machine or other device. Telephone number: ________________________ (the phone line the Model 3700 is attached to) Static IP address: 192.168.238.1 (the Model 3700 PPP IP address) Static Netmask: 255.
Processes The system process table is shown in both tree and tabular formats. The process list is useful when contacting Badger Meter Technical Support. Date and Time The Model 3700 keeps time using UTC or Universal time. All log files are recorded in UTC time as well. Time stamps shown on the Model 3700 local configuration pages are converted to local time for the convenience of the installer. The date/time configuration page provides the following options. Date/Time: In UTC and Local time.
Purge Log Files: This button will clear all the system log files listed on this page, but not the meter data log files. (deletes kernel, boot, ftp, messages, upload log files) This does not clear the interval log data from attached meter devices. Firmware Update - Please contact Badger Meter for Firmware updates. The Model 3700 can upgrade its own firmware using the firmware update page. The Model 3700 must have an Internet connection to communicate with the www.dataindustrial.
Note in the last section where SUCCESS is indicated. The failure is due to the password not being correct. LCD Console The Model 3700 has an LCD console and two push buttons labeled Menu and Select. These can be used to configure some of the basic features of the Model 3700. The intended purpose of the console is to configure the Model 3700 to a point where a computer can communicate with it for further detailed configuration.
The Model 3700 has an advanced menu that can be used to perform system checks and clear all configuration options to the default settings. To access the advanced menu, wait until the LCD shows Model 3700 Ready and press both the Menu and Select buttons at the same time. Hold both down together for about 10 seconds. When the advanced menu is displayed, you may release the two buttons. The following is a tree display of the advanced menu.

• • • • • • if necessary. If this option is disabled, the BMO website may not be able to send notifications until the end of the day when the Model 3700 calls in at its specified upload time. Upload data on low disk alarm: This feature will cause the Model 3700 to attempt a data upload immediately if the log file storage area is more than 75% full. Allow remote Modbus device configuration: If enabled, users may remotely configure alarms and other Modbus device features on the BMO website.
If you are using the Model 3700 with a standalone mode, you can use FTP or Enertrax DL to delete log files from the flash memory. With EnertraxDL, simply check the setup checkbox to delete log data after download. For FTP, the process is essentially the same process as the manual FTP data download. Steps for Microsoft® Windows® command prompt ftp. Use the following commands. ftp 192.168.40.50 username: root password: admin cd /var/log/modbus dir mdel *.
