RecordALL ER-6 / ER-9 / ER-420 — Digital Resettable Counters

Home› Products› Flow Meters› RecordALL› ER-6 / ER-9 / ER-420

Product Overview

The ER-6, ER-9 and ER-420 are RecordALL’s digital resettable registers — the read-out for batching, process and sub-metering points that need a front-panel-resettable total. They step up in capability: the ER-6/R is a battery-powered remote totalizer that simply counts a scaled-pulse input on an 8-digit LCD; the ER-9 adds programmable scale factors so it reads rate and total in engineering units and drives a scaled-pulse output through an isolated relay, meter-mounted or remote (ER-9/R); and the ER-420 (AC, DC or loop-powered) adds a 10-bit 4–20 mA signal with programmable set points proportional to flow, plus a scaled pulse, on a high-intensity reflective LCD. All work with any Badger Meter line that has a compatible pulse output, reset (or lock out the reset) from the front panel, and mount at the meter or wall-mount on a rear adapter plate near the point of use.

RecordALL ER-6 / ER-9 / ER-420 digital resettable counters (Badger Meter)
ER-6 / ER-9 / ER-420 — digital resettable totalizers and rate indicators; scaled pulse (ER-9) or 4–20 mA (ER-420).

Key Features & Benefits

  • Front-panel-resettable total — reset (or lock out the reset) from the front panel; the ER-9 and ER-420 also display rate of flow alongside the total
  • Pulse or 4–20 mA — the ER-9 drives a scaled pulse through an isolated relay; the ER-420 a 10-bit 4–20 mA loop with programmable set points — plus a scaled pulse — into a PLC, SCADA or recorder
  • Scaled to your units — the ER-9 and ER-420 program scale factors to read in your engineering units; the ER-6 totalizes a scaled pulse the meter already supplies
  • Battery or line power — lithium-battery ER-6 (5-year life) or ER-9 for no-power sites — the ER-9 battery runs about 6 months alone and backs up a connected DC supply for 5 years; AC, DC or loop-powered ER-420 where a 4–20 mA signal is needed
  • Works with any pulse meter — reads any Badger Meter line with a compatible pulse output, meter-mounted or remote on a rear adapter plate

Specifications

Function
Digital resettable totalizers (the ER-9 and ER-420 also indicate rate of flow) with a scaled-pulse or 4–20 mA output — the read-out for batching, process and sub-metering points that need a resettable counter
Type
ER-6/R remote totalizer (takes a scaled-pulse input); ER-9/R meter-mounted or remote totalizer and rate indicator with a scaled-pulse output; ER-420-AC / DC / LP totalizer and rate indicator with a 4–20 mA output
Display
8-digit numeric LCD on the ER-6 and ER-9 (ER-9 adds a 4-digit rate); a high-intensity reflective 7-digit total / 11-digit accumulated / 7-digit rate LCD on the ER-420. Backlight available on all three (DC supply)
Output
Scaled-pulse output via an isolated relay (ER-9); a 10-bit 4–20 mA signal with programmable set points proportional to flow, plus a scaled pulse, on the ER-420
Resettable
Yes — front-panel resettable total (reset can be inhibited); the ER-420 also keeps a separate non-resettable accumulated total
Meter compatibility
Any Badger Meter line with a compatible pulse output; the ER-6 requires a scaled pulse, while the ER-9 and ER-420 scale the input themselves
Power
Single 3V lithium battery on the ER-6 (5-year life); dual 3V lithium on the ER-9 (5-year backup when a DC supply is connected, about 6 months on battery alone); AC (115–230V), DC (24V) or loop-powered (8–30V DC) versions of the ER-420
Mounting
ER-6/R remote (wall-mount on the supplied rear adapter plate); ER-9 meter-mounted or ER-9/R remote; ER-420 field / wall-mount or meter-mounted with an adapter
Temperature rating
ER-6 / ER-9: 32–140°F (0–60°C); ER-420: −22–178°F (−30–80°C)
Units of measure
Programmable engineering units and scale factor (ER-9, ER-420)
Tamper resistance
Front-panel reset can be inhibited; ER-9 reprogramming can be locked out and the ER-420 configuration can be passcode-protected
Serviceability
NEMA 4X plastic housing (ER-6, ER-9) or IP67 / NEMA 4X enclosure (ER-420); remote versions wall-mount on a rear adapter plate near the point of use

Common Applications

  • Batch and fill points that need a resettable counter
  • Process and sub-metering read-out with rate and total
  • 4–20 mA flow into a PLC, SCADA or chart recorder — ER-420
  • Remote panel read-out away from the meter
For an encoded AMI read or a register that lives on the meter, the HR-E LCD encoder is the companion; for on-board batch and relay control, the PC-200 controller.

To size & select the right ER-6 / ER-9 / ER-420:

Use the input form to tell us the meter and what the read-out has to do — a local total, a resettable rate / total counter, a scaled pulse or 4–20 mA into a PLC or SCADA, batch control, or a cellular cloud read — and we’ll match the register, transmitter or controller to it.
