The Badger Meter® FC-5000 is a microprocessor-driven device designed

for energy/BTU and flow monitoring. The FC-5000 BTU Monitor is

compatible with the complete line of Badger Meter industrial flow

meters and temperature sensors, creating a solution to monitor

hydronic energy usage, flow rate and totals. Many years of experience in

the industrial market has allowed Badger Meter to incorporate features

indispensable in control operations
