System Description SYSTEM DESCRIPTION The Badger Meter model M5000 electromagnetic flow meter is intended for fluid metering in most industries including potable water, reclaimed water, food and beverage, pharmaceutical and chemical . The meter can measure all fluids with electric conductivity of at least 5 µS/cm (20 µS/cm for demineralized water) and is highly accurate . Measuring results depend on density, temperature and pressure .
Meter Location, Orientation and Applications METER LOCATION, ORIENTATION AND APPLICATIONS The M5000 provides two amplifier mounting options: a meter mounted option and a remote option . Meter mounted option Remote option Figure 5: Amplifier mounting options Remote Option Use a remote amplifier in the following situations: •...
Meter Location, Orientation and Applications Protection Class The device has protection class IP 67, optional IP 68 . In order to fulfill requirements in respect of the protection class, follow these guidelines: • Body seals must be undamaged and in proper condition . •...
Meter Location, Orientation and Applications Meter Orientation Mag meters can operate accurately in any pipeline orientation and can measure volumetric flow in forward and reverse directions, as long as the pipe is completely full . OTE: A "Forward Flow" direction arrow is printed on the detector label . Vertical Placement Mag meters perform best when placed vertically, with liquid flowing upward and meter electrodes in a closed, full pipe .
Meter Location, Orientation and Applications Pipe Reducer Requirements With pipe reducers, a smaller meter can be mounted in larger pipelines . This arrangement may increase low-flow accuracy . There are no special requirements for standard, concentric pipe reducers . Custom fabricated pipe reducers must have a maximum slope angle of 8 degrees to minimize flow disturbances and excessive loss of head .
Meter Location, Orientation and Applications Partially-Filled Pipe Situations In some locations, the process pipe may be momentarily only partially filled . Examples include: lack of back pressure, insufficient line pressure and gravity flow applications . To eliminate these situations: • Do not install the meter at the highest point of the pipeline .
These grounding straps must be copper wire, at least 12 AWG size . They must be connected on both sides (inlet and outlet) of the detector and to a local, earth ground . To provide a good electrical connection at the mating flanges, Badger Meter recommends that you drill and tap the flanges and install a grounding screw (not provided) .
Meter Gaskets and Grounding Non-Conductive Pipe Grounding IMPORTANT If the process pipe is not electrically conductive (PVC, fiberglass, cement-lined pipes or any other non-conductive material) and the meter was not originally ordered with an optional grounding electrode, you must install a pair of grounding rings between the mating flanges at both ends of the meter.
Wiring WIRING Wiring Safety WARNING • Disconnect power to the unit before attempting any connection or service . • Do not bundle or route signal lines with power lines . • Use twisted pair shielded wire for all output wiring . •...
Power POWER The M5000 can be powered with: • Battery only (2 D-cells or 4 D-cells) • 100…240V AC (with battery back-up) • 9…36V DC (with battery back-up) Battery Use a two D-cell battery pack for sizes 1/2…6 in . (DN 15…150) or a double two D-cell battery pack for sizes 8…24 in . (DN 200…600) .
Power Figure 24: Amplifier housing components – exploded view Battery Backup The backup battery option allows the meter to run using the backup battery power in case of power loss . The meter ships with an unplugged backup battery . Make sure that any power cables are of a sufficiently high current rating . If in doubt, contact your distributor .
Installation INSTALLATION For detectors with PTFE liner, do not remove protective cap on the flange until shortly before installation . Remote Mount Installation Mount Bracket to Amplifier 1 . Align bracket-mounting holes with amplifier mounting holes . 2 . Attach bracket to amplifier with supplied screws . Torque the screws to 80 inch-pounds . Wiring Configuration Connection on the amplifier 1 .
