Basic safety precautions Page 1/51 1. Basic safety precautions Before installing or using this product, please read this instruction manual thoroughly. Only qualified personnel should install and/or repair this product. If a fault appears, contact your distributor. Installation Do not place any unit on an unstable surface that may allow it to fall. Never place the units above a radiator or heating unit.
System description Page 2/51 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 are independent of density, temperature and pressure.
Installation Page 3/51 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 4/51 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 5/51 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 6/51 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 7/51 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 8/51 "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 9/51 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 11/51 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).
Power connections Page 13/51 4.4 Communication interfaces M2000 offers following communication interfaces: • Modbus ® RTU RS485 • M-Bus • HART • Profibus DP The additional interface board is already plugged in by the manufacturer or can be ordered and easily plugged in afterwards. The interface board is plugged in to the 11 pin connector at the lower right of the main board.
Programming Page 15/51 5.1 Quick setup The M2000 amplifier provides you with a quick setup utility that allows you to quickly set most of the important parameters like flow units, totalizer units, full scale flow and low flow cutoff settings. Flow Units Flow units let you select among the flow units mentioned below.

Programming Page 16/51 Low Flow Cut-off Low Flow Cut-off defines the threshold at which flow measurement will be forced to zero. The cutoff value can be from 0 % to 9.9 % of the full scale flow. Increasing the threshold will help prevent false reading during “no flow”...

Programming Page 20/51 Full Scale Flow This parameter sets the maximum flow the system is expected to measure. This parameter has influence on other system parameters. These parametes include: Frequency output and current output. In terms of flow velocity, the meter’s limit are from 0.1 to 12 m/sec. Moreover the values for Low Flow Cutoff and meter’s limits monitoring depend on Full Scale Flow.
Programming Page 21/51 5.2.3 Inputs and outputs Analog output Range This parameter establishes the range of the analog output signal: 0 to 100% (= full scale). The following current ranges are available to you: Current output 0 to 20 mA 4 to 20 mA 0 to 10 mA 2 to 10 mA...

Programming Page 22/51 5.2.3 Inputs and outputs Digital input lets you reset totalizers, batches, interrupt flow Digital Input measurement (Positive Zero Return) or set to ADE. Input switching (by a normally open contact) is provided by applying an external potential of 5 to 30 VDC or by an internal voltage source of 24 VDC via output #2.

Programming Page 27/51 Flow Simulation provides analog and digital output simulation based on Flow Simulation a percentage of the full scale flow in cases where no real flow is occurring. The range of simulation includes -100% to +100% in steps of 10% of the full scale flow.
Primo 3.x is the emulation of the former Primo amplifier interface. Flow Diagnostic is a service tool that allows Badger Meter to acquire data from the device about the flow velocity measurements. When enabled, every flow velocity measurement is transmitted in ASCII form out the serial port and can be logged on a PC with a special program (hyperterminal or similar).
