Electrical Installation (FM Sensors) The Series 200 Sensor is approved, as an entity, as Intrinsically Safe when installed in conformance with Bad- ger Meter installation drawings 06-480-001 or 06-480-002 (samples shown on Page 7) as specified on the blue label identifying an intrinsically safe sensor.
Columns 3 and 4 The K value and Offset values to use in our frequency equation: If you are replacing an existing Badger Meter impeller or shaft and have already calibrated your flow monitor/trans- mitter, no calibration changes are necessary. For instal-...

ing holes on metal sensors. For 250B the flow direc- tion arrow on the top of the sensor housing should point downstream with the impeller blades pointing upstream. 8) Carefully push the shaft through the sleeve and impeller, taking care not to damage bearings. Make sure that the shaft is inserted far enough so that it clears the sleeve on each side of the impeller hous- ing.

Troubleshooting If the voltage at the sensor input is less than 7.0 VDC in a no flow situation, disconnect the sensor from the barrier strip and measure the voltage at the sensor input terminals of the barrier strip again. It should be between 8.0 VDC and 20.0 VDC. If the voltage at the sensor input is still below 7.0 VDC or 3.0 VDC, the problem may be with the monitor.
