INTRODUCTION The Data Industrial® SDI Series impeller flow sensor offers unparalleled performance for liquid flow measurement in closed pipe systems in an easy to install economical package . Impeller sensors offer a quick response to changes in flow rate and are well suited to flow control and batch type applications in addition to flow monitoring .
Electronic Outputs Battery Powered Flow Sensors Ordering Matrix MATERIAL Stainless Steel / PPS Tip Brass / PPS Tip (not available with hot tap) Stainless Steel / PEEK Tip TYPE Direct Insert for Pipe 1-1/2" thru 10" * Direct Insert for Pipe 12" thru 36" * Direct Insert 36"...
. Data Industrial flow sensors are designed to operate reliably under adverse conditions, but the following recommendations should be followed to ensure maximum system accuracy: DATA INDUSTRIAL SDI Series Sensor 10 x Pipe Dia 5 x Pipe Dia FLOW Figure 2: Minimum recommended straight run distance 1 .
The insertion depth and alignment of the sensor are critical to the accuracy of the flow measurement . The impeller must be at the same location in the pipe as it was during calibration . Badger Meter provides sensors with different stem lengths . Longer stems are intended for use in larger diameter pipes and shorter stems for use in smaller pipelines .

Mechanical Installation 4 . Locate the sensor rotor assembly a fixed distance from the center of the pipe . To position the impeller at this depth, a reference measurement for Mounting the pipe size and schedule is used . Adapter a .
The insertion depth and alignment of the sensor are critical to the accuracy of the flow measurement . The impeller must be at the same location in the pipe as it was during calibration . Badger Meter provides sensors with three different stem lengths . Longer stems are intended for use in larger diameter pipes and shorter stems for use in smaller pipelines .

1 in . NPT end of the valve into the saddle using pipe joint compound . 4 . Attach the tapping adapter, (Badger Meter/Data Industrial Part# A-1027) to the top of the valve (make sure O-ring is properly seated in the O-ring groove in the top of the ball valve assembly) . It is recommended at this point that you open the valve and connect the A-1027 to a water or AIR Source to pressure test the saddle and valve-threaded joint .

Mechanical Installation e . Slide the collar along the shaft until its bottom surface is at the mark on the stem . Tighten the cap screw on the collar . When the sensor is reassembled, this will set the insertion depth of the sensor . Make sure to hold the sensor up tight against the cover when installing it onto the valve, to prevent the possibility of damaging the impeller by striking the closed ball of the valve .

Programming Wiring Pulse Output The optional pulse output of the Battery Powered SDI is a scaled pulse output that is set in the programming software . The output type is an open collector transistor closure with a maximum sinking current of 100 mA . The cable that plugs into the existing pigtail from the PC board is PN 807021 .
Programming PROGRAMMING To program Badger Meter SDI Series sensors, install the Data Industrial programming software on a computer and enter data in the templates of the Windows based program following these steps . ® 1 . Load the interface software onto the computer .

Programming 6 . Program the parameters using the following screens as reference . OTE 1 After you press Send, the status bar shows programming progress . It may take up to 1-1/2 minutes to program the Battery Powered SDI . When the status bar says “updated”, the Battery Powered SDI is programmed . OTE 2 After you press Exit, it takes about 10 seconds to go back to the operating display and refresh the Flow Rate and Flow Total .
