. SYSTEM DESCRIPTION The Badger Meter M-Series® model M2000 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 .
Unpacking and Inspection UNPACKING AND INSPECTION Follow these guidelines when unpacking the M-Series equipment . • If a shipping container shows any sign of damage, have the shipper present when you unpack the meter . • Follow all unpacking, lifting and moving instructions associated with the shipping container .

Meter Location, Orientation and Applications METER LOCATION, ORIENTATION AND APPLICATIONS The M2000 provides two amplifier mounting options: a meter mount option and a remote mount option . Meter mount Remote mount Figure 5: Amplifier mounting options Temperature Ranges TO PREVENT DAMAGE TO THE METER, STRICTLY OBSERVE THE AMPLIFIER’S AND DETECTOR’S MAXIMUM TEMPERATURE RANGES.
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 . OTEE: 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 an approximate slope angle of 15 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 .
Meter Gaskets and Grounding 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 .
Amplifier Mounting Configuration Options Non-Conductive Pipe Grounding MPORTANT 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.

Configuring Input/Output (I/O) CONFIGURING INPUT/OUTPUT (I/O) This section describes wiring the following M2000 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 M2000 amplifier . Do not connect the main power connection until you have made all other wiring connections .
Programming the M2000 PROGRAMMING THE M2000 The M2000 amplifier comes pre-programmed 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 M2000 Function Buttons and follow the procedures outlined below .
Programming the M2000 OTEE: 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 .
