Sierra QuadraTherm 640i/780i flow meter

Register map(s) for this device, with a note of how far each has been checked. Addresses are 0-based, as on the wire. Scale and byte order are confirmed only at the hardware-verified rung.

coherence-checked

Round-trips through a real Modbus stack with no overlapping addresses and a word-order-sensitive codec — the map is internally coherent and wire-decodable. Does NOT prove byte-order or scaling match a real device: the emulator is seeded from the map's own types, so a uniformly wrong byte-order still round-trips. Only hardware-verified confirms byte-order/scale on the wire.

link settings as documented (unverified): RTU; default 19200 8E1; unit ID 1; FC 03,04,06,08; Delay between receiving and transmitting = 8 ms

⚠ Before making adjustments to the device, verify the flow meter is not actively monitoring or reporting to any master control system. Adjustments to the electronics will cause direct changes to flow control settings. — Starkest reads only; we never write a control register.

bench facts as documented (unverified)
terminalsA terminal 13, B terminal 14, terminal 15 (Com)
A/B polarityA (-), B (+)
termination120 Ohm resistors at both ends of the cable
connectorTerminal board inside the QuadraTherm enclosure
isolationOptical isolated RS-485 interface, 1,500 Volts of isolation
shield/groundConnect the RS-485 common (shield wire) to terminal 15 (Com). It's better if it is not connected to Earth ground.
wiring notesUse a 24 AWG shielded twisted pair cable, with low capacitance, 120 Ohm impedance like Belden 9841.
inter-frame delay8 ms
protocol notesThe bootloader will only be active during the first two seconds after a power-up of the flow meter.

The trust ladder

Each rung states what it proved and what it did not. Gray until proven; green is earned by hardware only.
