METER DESCRIPTION
®
Badger
Model M-3000 electromagnetic meters are FM
approved for Class I, Div 2 hazardous locations. To achieve
hazardous location ratings electrodes in the fl ow tube are
Intrinsically Safe, designed according to Factory Mutual (FM)
standards. Those standards limit the amount of energy that
can be sent to electrodes to prevent a spark from occurring.
Empty Pipe Detection
Badger Model M-3000 meters are equipped with an
Empty Pipe Detection feature. Empty Pipe Detection is
accomplished by positioning a third electrode close to the
12 o’clock position. Any time this electrode is not covered by
fl uid, for a minimum of fi ve seconds, the meter displays an
Empty Pipe Detection condition, sends out an error message
if desired, and stops measuring to maintain accuracy. When
the electrode is again covered with fl uid, the error message
disappears and the meter continues measuring.
Meter Mount
Remote Mount Confi guration
Remote Mount confi guration places the amplifi er and its
functions at a location separate from the fl uid fl ow and
detector. This confi guration is necessary in situations where
process fl uid temperature or environment exceeds amplifi er
ratings. A remote mounting bracket is supplied.
Detector and amplifi er are connected by wires, run through
conduit, between junction boxes on the detector and remote
mounted amplifi er. The distance between the detector
junction box and amplifi er junction box can be up to 100 feet
(30m).
This confi guration can also provide a more convenient
amplifi er programming and display placement for monitoring
meter readings.
Amplifi er Mounting Confi guration Options
Two amplifi er-mounting confi guration options are available
to meet a variety of meter placement and environmental
conditions.

APPLICATIONS
Remote Amplifi er Outdoor Location
The amplifi er can be installed and operated outdoors.
However, protection from the elements must be considered:
6. Verify both ends of the signal cables are securely
fastened.
7. Place power and signal cables in separate conduit.
8. Place the meter where there is enough access for
installation/maintenance purposes.
1. Be aware of the ambient environment and
temperature ratings for the unit -4°F to 122°F (-20°C to
50°C).
2. If an indoor location is within 100 feet (30m) of the
detector installation, consider increasing the cable length
and mounting the amplifi er indoors.
3. At a minimum, fabricate a roof or shield over and/or
around the amplifi er to protect the LCD display screen
from sunlight.
Temperature
To prevent meter damage in any environment, minimum and
maximum temperature ranges must be observed.
1. For remote amplifi er applications, the fl uid temperature
range is -4°F to 248°F (-20°C to 120°C) at a maximum
ambient temperature of 122°F (50°C) for the following
liner materials: PFA, PTFE and Halar
2. For remote amplifi er applications, the fl uid temperature
range is 32°F to 178°F (0°C to 80°C) at a maximum
ambient temperature of 122°F (50°C) for the following
liner materials: Hard rubber and soft rubber.
3. For meter mounted amplifi er applications, the fl uid
temperature range is -4°F to 212° (-20°C to 100°C) at a
maximum ambient temperature of 122°F (50°C) for the
following liner materials: PFA, PTFE and Halar.
4. For meter mounted amplifi er applications, the fl uid
temperature range is 32°F to 178°F (0°C to 80°C) at a
maximum ambient temperature of 122°F (50°C) for the
following liner materials: Hard rubber and soft rubber.

.
Meter Orientation
Mag meters can operate accurately in any pipeline
orientation and can measure volumetric fl ow in forward and
reverse directions.
NOTE: A Forward Flow direction arrow is printed on the
detector label.
Vertical Placement
Mag meters attain optimal performance when placed
vertically, with liquid fl owing upward and meter electrodes in
a closed, full pipe.
Vertical placement allows the pipe to remain completely full,
even in low fl ow, low pressure applications and it prevents
any solids build-up or sediment deposit or accumulation on
the liner and/or electrodes.
NOTE: Carefully observe the “Forward Flow” label on the
meter body and install the meter accordingly.
5. The ambient temperature range surrounding the amplifi er
is -4°F to 122°F (-20°C to 50°C.)
6. The ambient temperature range surrounding a remote
junction box mounted to the detector is -4°F to 248°F
(-20°C to 120°C.)
Pipelines and Fluid Flow
Pipeline and fl uid fl ow conditions that should be avoided:
1. Do not install the meter where extreme pipe vibrations
exist. If vibrations are present, secure piping before
and after the meter with appropriate pipe supports. If
vibrations can’t be restrained, consider mounting the
amplifi er remotely.
2. Avoid installing the detector close to pipeline valves,
fi ttings or impediments that can cause fl ow disturbances.
3. For detectors with PTFE liners, avoid installing the
detector on suction sides of pumps.
4. Avoid installing the detector on outlet sides of piston
or diaphragm pumps. Pulsating fl ow can affect meter
performance.
5. Avoid locations near equipment producing electrical
interference such as electric motors, transformers, variable
frequency, power cables, etc.
Horizontal Placement
In a horizontal piping orientation, mount the detector to
piping with the fl ow measuring electrode axis in a horizontal
plane (3 and 9 o’clock).
This arrangement prevents solids build-up or sediment
deposit or accumulation on the electrodes.

Pipe Reducer Requirements
With pipe reducers a smaller size meter can be mounted in
larger pipelines. This arrangement may increase low fl ow
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 fl ow disturbances
and excessive loss of head. If this is not possible, install the
custom pipe reducers as if they were fi ttings and install the
amount of straight pipe stated previously.
spaced bursts, continuous stream of drips, a liquid or gas
can also affect downstream readings by the meter.
Sometimes it’s diffi cult to specify the exact downstream
placement distances because of the number of variables.
Contact Badger Meter Technical Support,
877-243-1010, to
review your application if necessary.
Partially Filled Pipe Situations
It is possible to encounter situations where the process
pipe is momentarily only partially fi lled. Examples include;
lack of backpressure, insuffi cient line pressure, gravity fl ow
applications, etc.
To eliminate these situations:
Chemical Injection Applications
For water line applications with a chemical injection point,
install the meter upstream of the injection point. This
eliminates any meter performance issues.
If a meter must be installed downstream of a chemical
injection connection, the recommended distance between
the meter and the injection point must be signifi cant; 50 to
100 feet (15 to 30 meters). When the water/chemical solution
reaches the meter it must be a complete, homogeneous
mixture. If the injection point is too close, the meter senses
two (2) different liquids (conductivity is different for each) and
correct data output cannot be assured. The injection method:
Do not install the meter in
the highest point of the pipeline
Do not install the meter in a vertical,
downward fl ow section of pipe.

RIGHT
ALWAYS locate ON/OFF valves on the
downstream side of the meter
To minimize the possibility of partially full pipe fl ows in
horizontal, gravity or low pressure applications, create a pipe
arrangement that insures the detector remains full of liquid at
all times
To ensure proper unit operation, the mag meter impact
ground (zero voltage reference) must be connected
to the liquid media and to a good, solid earth ground.
Perform grounding procedures after the meter is
connected to the pipeline.
Conductive Pipe Grounding
A grounding bolt is located on each mag meter fl ange. Drill
and tap the pipeline fl anges on each side of the meter and
install a grounding bolt to each.
To ground the unit, attach a ground strap (provided) of
copper wire, at least 12AWG size, between the grounding
bolts on the meter fl anges and the bolts on the pipeline
fl anges. Do this on the inlet and outlet sides of the meter.
Non-Conductive Pipe Grounding
If the process pipeline material is not electrically conductive
and your meter was not ordered with an optional grounding
electrode, place a grounding ring (available from Badger
Meter) between two gaskets on both ends of the meter.
Two other considerations to meter location, orientation and
application are gasket and grounding requirements and
placement.
Meter/Pipeline Connection Gaskets
GASKETS RECOMMENDED
Gasket(s) (not provided) must be installed between the
detector isolating liner and the pipeline fl ange to ensure a
proper and secure hydraulic seal. Use gaskets compatible
with the fl uid fl ow. Center each gasket on the fl ange to avoid
fl ow restrictions or turbulence in the line.
Do not use graphite or any electrically conductive sealing
compound to hold gaskets during installation. Measuring
signal accuracy could be affected.
If a grounding ring is used in the detector/pipeline
connection, place the ring between two gaskets. (See Non-Conductive Pipe Grounding section.)
After the grounding rings, gaskets and meter are assembled
to the pipeline, attach ground straps (provided) of copper
Meter Grounding
Process pipeline material can be either electrically
wire, at least 12AWG size, to grounding bolts on meter
fl anges and to the grounding rings.
conductive (metal) or not electrically conductive (made of or
lined with PVC, fi berglass or concrete).
If your meter was ordered with an optional grounding
electrode, the use of grounding rings is not necessary.

To re-position or rotate the display/control card in the amplifi er:
To prevent accidents connect main power only after all
other wiring has been completed.
The amplifi er is a microprocessor device. It is important
that the power supply be as “clean” as possible. Avoid
using power lines that feed heavy loads; pumps, motors,
etc. If dedicated lines are not available, a fi ltering or
isolation system may be required.
Power wiring is the same for meter mount and remote mount
amplifi ers.
1. Remove the Wire Port cover from amplifi er connections
chamber.
2. Lay out power cable and conduit to amplifi er.

AMPLIFIER CONTROLS, CONTROL METHODS and DATA
DISPLAY PROGRAMMING
The M-3000 amplifi er display/programming chamber
contains a display/control card. This card and its display
screen provide easy access to meter information and the
ability to view, program and adjust meter data parameters.
Card Display and Controls
The M-3000 uses a 2.5 X 1 inch (63 X 25mm) four line, 16character, backlit, LCD display.
Display screens and screen data are manipulated with
magnet switches or push buttons. By operating the switches
or buttons different screens are accessed, program
parameters are selected and changed and settings are
reprogrammed.
If no contact is made with switches or buttons for 2 minutes,
in any parameter, the display returns automatically to the
Main Screen.
ACCESS to AMPIFIER SCREENS, DATA and
PARAMETER PROGRAMMING
NOTE: The M-3000 can be programmed to meter many
fl ow situations and serve a variety of purposes during a
production process. To meet diverse needs there are a
wide variety of programming options and parameters. Your
metering requirements probably do not require the use of all
program screens, options and parameters.
17
Your M-3000 amplifi er is delivered preprogrammed, based
on information available at the time the unit was ordered. In
most instances it will not require any changes.
Use this section to program fl ow signal outputs or reprogram
your meter to specifi c requirements.
Flow measurement and totalizing continues during amplifi er
programming.
Two Programming Methods
There are two methods for programming.
In one method a magnet wand is used to manipulate +, and E switches to view and change screens and program
functions and settings. The amplifi er display chamber cover
stays on.
Both main screens display the rate of fl ow (R=) and fl ow
units).
Uni-Directional Flow Main Screen
Uni-directional Flow totalizes pipe fl ow in only one direction,
the fl ow direction arrow printed on the detector label.
(reference page 25, "Set Flow Direction" to program for unidirectional mode)
Uni-directional readings, on the main display screen, are
identifi ed as R=, T1, T2 and PS.
R= Flow Rate
T1 registers Forward Volume
T2 registers Forward Volume and can be reset through Input
1.
The other method involves removing the display chamber
cover and manipulating the +, - and E push buttons to view
and change settings and program desired meter functions
and settings.
AMPLIFIER SCREENS, MENUS and PROGRAMMING
Amplifi er programming requires planning, moving and
activating the +, - and E selections on three types of menu/
parameter screens, List screen, Input Numbers screen and
select ON or Off screen.
MAIN SCREEN(S)
The fi rst screen is the Main Screen. It is always displayed
when programming functions are not occurring.
NOTE: When programming, if no contact is made with
switches or buttons for 2 minutes, in any parameter, the
display returns automatically to your programmed Main
Screen.
PS registers Preset Batch Amount
With this information an operator can tell at a glance the
volume going through the meter.
Bi-Directional Flow Main Screen
Bi-Directional Flow totalizes pipe fl ow in both directions
(reference pag
Directional Mode)
Bi-directional totalizers readings, on the display screen, are
identifi ed as R=, T+, T- , TN and PS.
Tw o Main Screen Format settings are possible. Which
setting to use is determined by the fl uid Flow Direction
through your meter. The settings are Uni-Directional fl ow or
Bi-Directional fl ow (reference page 24, "Set FLow Rate Unit
of Measure and Set Totalizer Unit of Measure" to porgram
fl ow units).
TN Net Total = (T+) - (T-)
PS registers Present Batch Amount
With this information an operator can tell at a glance the
volume going through the meter in both directions.

MAINTENANCE
Mandatory, routine or scheduled maintenance should not be
required for the Badger
fl ow tube after proper installation.
®
M-3000 Mag Meter electronics or
Detector coil and incoming amplifi er power supplies are each
protected by a fuse in the amplifi er.
Detector coils are protected by a 630mA, 250VAC, slow blow
fuse, part number 65621-001.
However, some occurrences may require personnel to
perform the following:
· Flow Tube and Electrode Cleaning
· Fuse Replacement
· Amplifi er I&C Card Stack Replacement
These maintenance procedures are discussed in this section.
Disconnect main power to the unit before attempting any
device maintenance or cleaning.
Do not clean components inside the amplifi er or junction
box.
Flow Tube and Electrode Cleaning
At times fl ow tube, electrodes, amplifi er/junction box
housings and the amplifi er window may need periodic
cleaning, depending on process fl uid properties, fl uid fl ow
rate and surrounding environment.
Clean the fl ow tube and electrodes by following the
material handling and cleaning procedures documented
in MSD Sheets for the products(s) that were in contact
with the fl ow tube and electrodes.
For the AC powered version, the incoming amplifi er power is
protected by a 500mA, 250VAC, slow blow fuse, part number
65621-002.
For the 24VDC powered version, the incoming ampifi er
power is protected by a 630mA 250VAC, slow blow fuse, part
number 65621-001.
Fuse ratings are listed on the circuit board, next to the fuse
holders. Refer to the M-Series™, Model M-3000 Repair
Parts List (IRP-210-01).
To access and replace fuses:
1. Remove display chamber cover. Turn the cover
counterclockwise to remove it from the amplifi er. If
necessary, use a strap wrench.
Should fl ow tube and/or electrode cleaning become
necessary:
1. Disconnect detector from pipeline.
2. Clean electrodes with isopropyl alcohol or fresh, clean
water depending on the chemical compatibility of the
measured fl uid.
3. Reconnect detector to pipeline
Fuse Replacement
Disconnect main power to the unit before attempting any
device maintenance.
Risk of electrical shock. Replace fuse ONLY with the
same type and rating.
Authorized personnel must perform fuse replacements.
Replace fuses with fuses of the same ampere rating and
type. Refer to wiring diagrams when ampere ratings are
unknown or questionable.
2. Remove the 2 display card screws and washers.
3. Tilt card up/out approximately 45 degrees at the holding
clips.
32
4. Fuses are in the round/black fuse holders. Use a fl at
screwdriver to turn the holder cap counterclockwise until
the lock tab reaches the opening and the holder and
fuse disengage.
5. Replace the fuse.
REMOVE PCB STACK
Disconnect main power to the unit before attempting any
device maintenance.
1. Remove display/programming chamber cover. Turn the
cover counterclockwise to remove it from the amplifi er. If
necessary, use a strap wrench.
2. Remove 2 display card screws and washers. Place in
storage for reuse.
6. Reverse steps 1 to 3 to assemble the unit.
Amplifi er Printed Circuit Board (PCB) Stack
Replacement
All M-3000 mag meters operate through printed circuit
boards (PCBs) housed in the amplifi er. The PCBs are
grouped in a stack located behind the display/control card in
the display/programming chamber.
Because PCBs are complex circuits, with all meter functions
enabled through multiple links and layers, determining the
exact board and circuit that is causing a system problem is
diffi cult and usually requires test equipment.
Should a meter problem occur:
1. Call Badger Meter at (877) 243-1010, and discuss the
problem with a Technical Support Specialist.
2. If the problem appears to originate in a PCB, it will be
recommended that the entire PCB stack be removed and
returned to Badger Meter.
PCB Stack
3. Tilt display card up/out approximately 45 degrees at the
holding clips.
4. Gently pull card down and out from between holding clips.
5. Disconnect display card plug from left side of PCB
display.
PCB Stack in Amplifi er
33
6. Disconnect the Power, Coil, Electrode and I-O plugs and
harnesses from the PCB interconnect card.
9. Carefully wrap and package the PCB stack and display
card. Send back to Badger Meter.
10. Reverse these steps to install a PCB stack.
When replacing the PCB stack:
a.) Be sure to place the two lower feet of the circuit
board support along the edges of the amplifi er housing.
b.) Gently move the stack back into the housing until
the to holes at the top mate with the housing. (The stack
is not connected to the circuit board in this picture.)
7. Remove the 4 screws holding the PCB stack in the
amplifi er housing. Place in storage for reuse.
8. Gently remove the card stack from the amplifi er housing.
Do not tug or pull to remove the stack. Ease it out
carefully.
11. When placing display card back into PCB Display, verify
mark and red stripe are aligned with Number 1.
