Badger Meter 4000 Specifications

Flow Sensor

Series 4000

DESCRIPTION

The Series 4000 Flow Sensor has an in-line, flow-through design using a tangential six bladed impeller.

The Series 4000 Flow Sensor is available in 1/2 in., 3/4 in. and 1 in. pipe sizes and is molded of PVC or PVDF materials. The compact design allows the Series 4000 flow sensor to replace old style magnetic sensors with little or no piping changes.

The proprietary non-magnetic detection circuit is available with two outputs: a low-impedance, 3-wire, 5V DC square wave signal (that can be pulled up to 20V) capable of traveling up to 2000 ft (609 m) without amplification, or a 2-wire, loop-powered, 4…20 mA current analog signal. These two signal formats are compatible with most data acquisition or PLC equipment.

PVDF versions are compatible with all PVDF piping systems including SYGEF, KYNAR, SUPER PROLINE and SANITECH. Adapters are available for use with other plastic or metallic piping systems.

FEATURES

• 4…20 mA analog output programmable in field.

• Enhanced versions can accurately measure flow rates as low as 0.25 fps.

• Flow detection electronics can be serviced or replaced without opening the pipe. No exposure to wetted parts.

• Impeller bearings and shaft can be easily replaced without removing the sensor from the pipe.

• Documented operating service life in high temperature ultra-pure water throughout 40 months of continuous 24 hr/day operation.

• Superior particle-shedding performance verified by independent laboratory testing. Particle sizes from 0.1 micron to 1.0 micron representing “on wafer” metallic contamination (ELYMAT) and liquid-born particles were monitored.

• CE tested and approved by an independent laboratory.

The analog output is controlled by an on-board microprocessor and digital circuitry producing precise drift free signals. The unit is programmed from a PC using Windows® based software and a connection cable. Units may be pre-programmed at the factory or field programmed. All programming information is stored in non-volatile memory in the sensor.
