Badger Meter M2000 Application Brief
M-Series® Mag Meter
M2000 Cable Splice Kit
This application brief describes the M2000 cable splice kit bracket
mounting, component assembly, installation and wiring. The cable
splice kit is used to repair damaged cable or extend existing cable
when the installed mag meter has the submersible option. The
cable between the splice kit and the meter amplifier is not included
and must be ordered separately.
KIT COMPONENTS
Cable splice kit without resin 65568-001
Cable splice kit with resin 65568-002
OTE:N The resin is only required if the splice kit assembly
is used in an area prone to temporary submergence.
Each kit includes the following items.
• Junction box enclosure and cover, with screws
• Cable connection terminal board, with screws
• Bracket, screws and rubber gasket
• Cable connectors
• (Optional) 3M Scotchcast 2123 re-enterable electrical
insulating resin
MPORTANTI
The Scotchcast material is not impaired by freezing but
should be warmed to at least 40°F (4.4°C) before being
mixed and poured.
If any kit components are missing, please contact
Badger Meter Technical Support.
BRACKET MOUNTING
1. Mount the metal bracket on the junction box one of two ways:
under the junction box (Figure 1) or behind the junction box
(Figure 2).
a. To mount the metal bracket under the junction box, place
the small part of the metal bracket at the bottom of the
junction box and the larger part of the metal bracket on the
back of the junction box as shown.

b. To mount the bracket behind the junction box, place the
small part of the metal bracket at the bottom of the junction
box. The larger part of the metal bracket will be attached to a
different surface.

2. Slide the rubber gasket between the junction box and metal
bracket to create a seal to prevent uids from entering the
connection hole.
3. Secure the junction box to the metal bracket using the
provided screws.

CABLE SPLICE KIT ASSEMBLY
1. Connect the terminal board to the junction box with four screws.
Figure 3 shows proper orientation of the PCB board.

2. Once the terminal board is connected to the junction box, begin
the wiring process. See the wiring diagram on page 3.
3. After wiring is complete, the assembly should look like Figure 4.

junction box
5. The mixture is ready to be poured into the junction box. Cut
open the bag with scissors or a cutting blade.
6. Pour the entire bag of compound into the junction box. Do not
expect the resin to completely ll the junction box but ensure
the wires are completely covered by the resin (Figure 7).
Allow 2 hours for the resin to set up. Total cure time for the resin
is 24 hours.

Figure 4: Wiring complete
If the optional resin was not ordered, skip to step #7.
OTE:N The resin is only used if the cable splice kit assembly is
used in an area prone to temporary submergence.
4. Locate the 3M two-part Unipak® bag of re-enterable electrical
insulating resin. Grip the center of the bag, where the divider stripe
is positioned and rmly pull the bag apart until the divider stripe
is detached (Figure 5). Knead the bag with your hands for several
seconds until the resin is fully mixed.

7. Place the lid on the junction box enclosure and secure it with
the 4 screws. Assembly is now complete.

Mount the junction box at the proper designated area.
OTE:N When using the optional resin, the lid can be screwed
to the junction box after 2 hours, however, waiting to
mount the junction box for 24 hours is recommended
to avoid shifting of resin.
