Basic safety precautions Page 1/44 1. Basic safety precautions The electromagnetic flow meter is only suitable for the measurement of conductive fluids. The manufacturer is not liable for damages that result from inproper use or from use that is not in accordance with the requirements. The meters are constructed according to state-of-the-art technology and tested operationally reliable.
System description Page 2/44 2. System description The electromagnetic flow meters are intended for the metering of all fluids with electric conductivity of at least 5 μS/cm (20 μS/cm for demineralized water). These series of meters is characterized by a high degree of accuracy. Measuring results depend on density, temperature and pressure.
Installation Page 3/44 3. Installation • Warning: Installation instructions given in the following are to be observed in order to guarantee a perfect functioning and a safe operation of the meter. 3.1 General information 3.1.1 Temperature ranges Caution: • In order to prevent a damaging of the meter, you are requested to strictly observe amplifier’s and detector’s maximum temperature ranges.
Installation Page 4/44 3.1.3 Transport Caution: • Use lifting lugs when lifting meter flow tubes that are 150 in diameter or larger. • Do not lift meter on measuring amplifier or on detector’s neck. • Do not lift meter with a fork lift on the jacket sheet. This could damage the body.
Installation Page 5/44 3.2.3 Meter location Caution: • Do not install the detector on the suction sides of pumps. This could damage the liner (in particular PTFE liners). • Verify that the pipeline is always filled on the measuring point, if not - a correct or accurate measurement is not possible.
Installation Page 6/44 3.2.4 Pipe reducer requirements With pipe reducers as per DIN 28545 detectors can be mounted in larger pipelines. You can determine the occurring pressure drop by using the shown nomogram (only applicable to liquids with similar viscosity like water). •...
Installation Page 7/44 3.2.5 Separate version Provide a separate version in the following cases: • Note: Detector protection class IP 68 • Fluid temperature > 100 °C • Strong vibrations Caution: • Do not install the signal cable close to power cables, electric machines, etc.
Installation Page 8/44 "X" M4:1 "X" 3.2.7 Plastic or lined pipelines If non-conductive pipelines or pipelines lined with non-conductive material are used, install an additional grounding electrode or grounding rings between the flanges. Grounding rings are installed like gaskets between the flanges and are connected with a grounding cable to the meter.
Power connections Page 9/44 3.2.9 Electrically disturbed environment If the pipe material is in an electrically disturbed environment or if metallic pipelines that are not grounded are used, we recommend a grounding as shown in the following picture in order to assure that measurement is not influenced. 6 mm²...
Page 11/44 4.2.1 Signal cable specification • Note: Only use signal cables delivered by Badger Meter or corresponding cable in accordance with the following specification. • Take max. signal cable length between detector and amplifier into account (keep distance as low as possible).
Programming Page 13/44 5. Programming Programming is accomplished by using the three functional buttons ▲,► and E. You can move from the measuring mode to the programming mode by pressing twice the button E. While first pressing this button, you activate the backlight and while pressing it for a second time, you get into the programming menu.

Programming Page 18/44 Measurement Flow Direction Flow direction lets you set the meter to measure forward flow only (uni- directional) or both forward and reverse flow (bidirectional). Unidirectional means that the flow is totalized in only one direction. The flow direction is indicated by the arrow printed on the detector label.
