METER DESCRIPTION
®
Badger
Model M-4000 electromagnetic meters are FM
approved for Class I, Div 1 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-4000 Mag 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
5
the electrode is again covered with fl uid, the error message
disappears and the meter continues measuring.
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.
Meter Mount Confi guration
The Meter Mount confi guration has the amplifi er mounted
directly on the detector. This compact, self-contained
confi guration minimizes installation wiring.
METER/AMPLIFIER LOCATION, ORIENTATION and
APPLICATIONS
Remote Amplifi er Outdoor Location
The amplifi er can be installed and operated outdoors.
However, protection from the elements must be considered:
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.
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 and PTFE.
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 and PTFE.
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.
5. The ambient temperature range surrounding the amplifi er
is -4°F to 122°F (-20°C to 50°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.
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.
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.
This arrangement prevents solids build-up or sediment
deposit or accumulation on the electrodes.
Straight Pipe Requirements
Suffi cient straight pipe runs are required at the detector inlet
and outlet for optimum meter accuracy and performance. An
equivalent of three (3) diameters of straight pipe is required on
the inlet (upstream) side. Two (2) diameters are required on
the outlet (downstream) side.
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.
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.
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).
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
7
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:
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.
ALWAYS locate ON/OFF valves on the
downstream side of the meter
To eliminate these situations:
Do not install the meter in
the highest point of the pipeline
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
Meter Gaskets and Grounding
Two other considerations to meter location, orientation and
application are gasket and grounding requirements and
placement.
Meter/Pipeline Connection Gaskets
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.
Do not install the meter in a vertical,
downward fl ow section of pipe
If a grounding ring is used in the detector/pipeline
connection, place the ring between two gaskets. (See Non-
Conductive Pipe Grounding section.)
Meter Grounding
Process pipeline material can be either electrically
conductive (metal) or not electrically conductive (made of or
lined with PVC, fi berglass or concrete).
8
METER INSTALLATION PLANS and EXECUTION
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.
Plan meter layout, location and installation. During
installation, remember these important points:
1. Heed all safety notifi cations.
2. Select a detector location with room for installation and
maintenance procedures.
3. Use proper lifting, rigging and moving procedures for
large units.
4. Consider the meter environment; particularly ambient and
process fl ow temperatures.
5. Consider the process pipeline (vibrations) and its fl ow
characteristics (valve and pump locations).
6. Meter orientation to the pipeline (vertical or horizontal).
7. Straight pipe requirements.
8. Pipe reducer requirements.
9. Special applications and/or situations.
For Remote Mount Units consider:
1. Amplifi er location.
2. Remote amplifi er mounting bracket.
3. Proper conduit and conduit fi ttings.
4. Wiring and conduit locations.
REMOTE MOUNT AMPLIFIER
NOTE: Screws are supplied to attach the remote mount
bracket to the amplifi er. Screws are not supplied to attach
bracket at mounting location.
Remote Mount Amplifi er Location Requirements:
1. A sturdy and safe mounting surface capable of holding
the amplifi er weight (20 pounds, 9 Kg).
2. Within the allowable temperature range: -4°F to 122°F,
(-20°C to 50°C).
3. Access to amplifi er covers, ports, terminals, screen and
adjustments.
4. As close to the detector as possible.
5. Determine length and route of cable/conduit runs.
GASKETS RECOMMENDED
After the grounding rings, gaskets and meter are assembled
to the pipeline, attach ground straps (provided) of copper
wire, at least 12AWG size, to grounding bolts on meter
fl anges and to the grounding rings.
If your meter was ordered with an optional grounding
electrode, the use of grounding rings is not necessary.
Mount Bracket to Amplifi er
1. Align bracket-mounting holes with amplifi er mounting
holes.
2. Attach bracket to amplifi er with supplied screws. Torque
screws to 80 in. lb.
9
Mount Bracket/Amplifi er to Location
1. Position the bracket/amplifi er in the desired orientation.
2. Secure bracket/amplifi er to location.
REMOTE MOUNT AMPLIFIER/DETECTOR WIRING
Remote Mount Amplifi er
The remote mount amplifi er has three chambers and fi ve
wire ports. The Junction Box and Connections Chambers
and wiring ports provide amplifi er openings for wire, conduit,
tool and hand access to amplifi er terminal blocks. Detector
to amplifi er wires connect in the Junction Box Chamber.
Amplifi er AC power and customer signal wires attach in the
Connections Chamber.
The Display/Programming Chamber provides access to
fuses and circuit boards. They are discussed later.
(Refer to the Remote Mount Wiring Diagram on page 11.)
Detector Junction Box
The Detector Junction Box has one chamber and two wire
ports. The junction box, chamber and wiring ports provide
openings for wire, conduit, tool and hand access to terminal
blocks. Detector to remote mount amplifi er electrode and
coil wires connect to the detector through the chamber wire
ports.
· Suitably trained personnel shall perform all
installation or repair procedures.
· Disconnect power to the unit before attempting any
installation or maintenance.
· Do not bundle or route signal wires with power
wires.
· Use proper conduit, connections and supplied
cables in all wiring procedures.
· Observe all local applicable electrical codes when
wiring any equipment.
Electrode and Coil Wiring From Detector Junction Box to
Remote Mount Amplifi er Junction Box
A remote mount unit requires electrode and coil cables,
from the detector junction box to the amplifi er junction box,
be enclosed in properly rated conduit. Use conduit fi ttings
(not supplied) that are rated for Class I, Div 1 hazardous
locations.
Failure to use proper conduit fi ttings rated for Class I,
Div 1 hazardous locations, invalidates the FM rating and
any warranties, expressed or implied, for this equipment.
1. Lay out the cable and conduit between the Detector
Junction Box and the Amplifi er Junction Box. Use Belden
#9155 cable or equivalent for electrodes. Use Belden
#8770 cable or equivalent for coils.
2. Run cables through the conduit, between Detector
Junction Box and Amplifi er Junction Box.
3. Place four Nema 4X, 1/2 inch NPT fi ttings on conduit.
4. Remove the four junction box wire port screws, two on
each junction box.
Electrode Wiring in Detector Junction Box
To connect electrode wires in the Detector Junction Box:
1. Unscrew the Detector chamber cover. If necessary, use a
strap wrench.
2. Remove the protective plastic cover to access the
terminal block screws.
