Comply with the instructions and proceed with care. System Description The Badger Meter M-Series® model M-2000 electromagnetic flow meter is intended for fluid metering in most industries including water, wastewater, food and beverage, pharmaceutical and chemical. The basic components of an electromagnetic flow meter are: • The detector, which includes the flow tube, isolating liner and measuring electrodes.
Note: If the unit was damaged in transit, it is your responsibility to request an inspection report from the carrier within 48 hours. You must then file a claim with the carrier and contact Badger Meter for appropriate repairs or replacement.

Model M-2000 Mag Meter Meter Location, Orientation and Applications The M-2000 provides two amplifier mounting options: an integral or meter mount option and a junction box/remote option. Meter mount amplifier Junction box with remote amplifier Remote Amplifier Outdoor Location The amplifier can be installed and operated outdoors. However, it must be protected from the elements, as follows: •...
Installation & Operation Manual Vertical Placement Mag meters perform best when placed vertically, with liquid flowing upward and meter electrodes in a closed, full pipe. Vertical placement allows the pipe to remain completely full, even in low flow, low pressure applications, and it prevents solids build-up, sediment deposit and accumulation on the liner and electrodes.
Model M-2000 Mag Meter Straight Pipe Requirements Sufficient straight-pipe runs are required at the detector inlet and outlet for optimum meter accuracy and performance. An equivalent of three diameters of straight pipe is required on the inlet (upstream) side. Two diameters are required on the outlet (downstream) side.
– can also affect downstream readings by the meter. Sometimes, due to circumstances, it’s difficult to specify the exact downstream placement distances. Contact Badger Meter Technical Support to review your application if necessary.

Installation & Operation Manual Meter Gaskets and Grounding Gasket and grounding requirements must be considered when determining the meter location, orientation and application. Meter/Pipeline Connection Gaskets You must install gaskets (not provided) between the detector's isolating liner and the pipeline flange to ensure a proper and secure hydraulic seal.
Model M-2000 Mag Meter 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.
Installation & Operation Manual Wiring Wiring Safety At installation, be sure to comply with the following requirements: • Disconnect power to the unit before attempting any connection or service to the unit. • Do not bundle or route signal lines with power lines. •...
Model M-2000 Mag Meter Power Connections External Disconnect Install an external disconnect switch or circuit breaker that meets local standards. Position the M-2000 in an accessible location.

Model M-2000 Mag Meter Configuring Input/Output (I/O) This section describes wiring the following M-2000 inputs/outputs: • Analog output • Digital input • Digital outputs • Communication Once the sensor and the amplifier have been wired, wire any inputs and outputs to the M-2000 amplifier. Do not connect the main power connection until you have made all other wiring connections.
Installation & Operation Manual Programming the M-2000 The M-2000 amplifier comes preprogrammed from the factory. Typically, you will not need to do any additional programming. However, to take advantage of special features, you can program the meter for your specific needs. If you will be programming the meter, familiarize yourself with the M-2000 Function Buttons and follow the procedures outlined below.
Model M-2000 Mag Meter Note: The bottom line of a numeric-value display provides prompts regarding the function of each button. The [+] or [-] button will change the value of the numeral. The [E] button will move the cursor one digit to the right. When the cursor is at the final, right-most digit, pressing [E] will reposition the cursor at the left-most digit.

Installation & Operation Manual Advanced Software Filter Description The software filter operates as an acceleration filter. This filter when configured properly allows for filtering of fast changes in fluid flow. Generally, this filter is used in applications having highly conductive fluids. This filter is intended to help provide smoothing of the analog output and display fluctuations.
Page 44
Model M-2000 Mag Meter Advanced Software Filter Constant Flow During normal flow conditions, there is always a non-zero acceleration component. [150 M /Sec For example, if acceleration of the flow activates the filter, the meter will assume constant flow for the duration of the filter delay time unless the flow returns within limits.

Installation & Operation Manual Advanced Empty Pipe Cal. Fluid conductivity impacts the performance of empty pipe measurements. If you require empty pipe detection, you should perform this empty pipe calibration procedure. [Default] Before starting the empty pipe calibration, verify that empty pipe detection is enabled. Also, run both the empty pipe and the full pipe calibration procedures.
