Badger Meter 2100R+, Manual

ERROR SCREENS 

 
  There are several Error Screens that will be displayed 
by the recorder if the microprocessor detects errors in the 

alues programmed into the recorder. 

v

- CHART PEN ZERO - 

<INPUT ZERO ERROR> 

OR 

- CHART PEN SPAN - 

<INPUT SPAN ERROR> 

 
  If either of the two above Error Screens appears during 
the chart pen adjusting procedure, one of the following 
problems probably occurred. 
 
  1.  There was not a 4-20 mADC analog signal to the 
recorder analog channel you selected while adjusting the 
chart zero or span. 
 
  2.  An analog input signal channel was selected 
without adjusting the chart pen zero and span of this 
channel. 
 

 
 
  3.  The Zero and Span of the recorder have been 
adjusted too close to the same input value. 
 
  To correct these errors, readjust the chart pen zero and 
span. Refer to Page 3-5 for the proper procedure. 
 

- STORING PARAMETERS - 

<TOTALIZER WORD ERROR> 

 
  If the above Error Screen appears after pressing the 
ENTER key to store the calibration adjustments, this 
indicates that you have selected a totalizer multiplier that 
is too low for your selected flow rate. To correct this 
error, re-enter the Calibration Mode and when the 
Totalizer Multiplier Screen appears, increase the totalizer 
multiplier and press the ENTER key. Then press the 
MENU key to store the new multiplier and return to the 
normal operating screen. 
 
  If you still have a Totalizer Word Error message in the 
Storing Parameters Screen, then repeat the above 
procedure until the error is not present. 

FLOW METER OPERATION 
INITIAL POWER UP 

 
  After installation and wiring of the Model 2100R+, 
power may be turned on by the power switch on the lower 
right hand corner of the chart plate. 
 
  When power is applied, the display screen of the Model 
2100 flow meter will have a solid line across the top of 
the display for a few seconds. Then the following screen 
will appear: 
 

- BADGER METER - 

SOFTWARE REV. - X.XX 

 
  This will be displayed for about 3 seconds and then the 
next screen will show the serial number of the unit as 
shown below. 
 

- BADGER METER - 

SERIAL NUMBER XXXXXXXX 

 
  This will be displayed for about 3 seconds and then the 
following screen will be displayed: 
 

- FLOW  1234  X  10          GPM 

FLUID LEVEL  =  99.99  IN 

 
  This screen is considered the normal operating screen. 
In the upper left corner of the display there will be either 
a flashing '-' or '*'. The '-' indicates that the meter is 
functioning properly and that there are no alarms or relays 
tripped. The '*' indicates that there are alarms or relays 
tripped. 

If an 'F' appears, this indicates that the meter is 

performing an auto frequency tuning procedure and the 
MENU key will not respond until the 'F' goes away.

 
  The following two sections describe the operation of 
the Status and Calibration Modes of the Model 2100 flow 
meter portion.
