System Description
The Badger Meter M-Series® model M-5000 electromagnetic ow meter is intended for uid metering in most
industries including water, wastewater, food and beverage, pharmaceutical and chemical.
The basic components of an electromagnetic ow meter are:
• The detector, which includes the ow tube, isolating liner and measuring electrodes.
• The amplier, which is the electronic device responsible for the signal processing, ow calculation, display and output signals.
The construction materials of the wetted parts (liner and electrodes) should be appropriate for the specications
on the intended type of service. Make sure to review all of the compatibilities consistent with the specications.
Each meter is factory tested and calibrated. A calibration certicate is included with each meter.
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 unpacking the meter.
• Follow all unpacking, lifting and moving instructions associated with the shipping container.
• Open the container and remove all packing materials. Store the shipping container and packing materials
in the event the unit needs to be shipped for service.
• Verify that the shipment matches the packing list and order form.
• Inspect the meter for any signs of shipping damage, scratches, or loose or broken parts.
Note: If the unit was damaged in transit, request an inspection report from the carrier within 48 hours. A
claim must be led with the carrier, and contact Badger Meter for appropriate repairs or replacement.
• All detectors with polytetrauoroethylene (PTFE) liners are shipped with a liner protector on each end to
maintain proper form of the PTFE material during shipping and storage.
Note: Do not remove the liner protectors until installation.
(12-10)

• Storage: If the meter is to be stored, place it in its original container in a dry, sheltered location. Storage temperature ranges are: -40°F to 160°F (-40°C to 70°C).
Rigging, Lifting and Moving Large Units
When rigging, lifting or moving large units, follow these guidelines.
DO NOT lift or move a meter by its amplier, junction box or cables.
Use a crane rigged with soft straps to lift and move meters with ow tubes that are between two inches and
eight inches (50 mm and 200 mm). Place the straps around the detector body, between the anges, on each side
of the detector.
Use the lifting lugs when lifting meter ow tubes that are 10 inches (250 mm) in diameter or larger.
®
Place straps between anges. Use lifting lugs with 10-inch or larger meters.
Use the sling-rigged method to lift large detectors into a vertical position while they are still crated. Use this
method to position large detectors vertically into pipelines.
Page 6
(12-10)
Installation & Operation
Do not lift a detector with a forklift by positioning the detector body on the forks, with the anges extending
beyond the lift. This could dent the housing or damage the internal coil assemblies.
Never place forklift forks, rigging chains, straps, slings, hooks or other lifting devices inside or through the detector's
ow tube to hoist the unit. This could damage the isolating liner.
Do not lift detector with forklift. Do not lift or rig lifting devices through detector.
(12-10)

Meter Location, Orientation and Applications
The M-5000 provides two amplier mounting options: an integral or meter mount option and a junction box/
remote option.
Meter mount amplier Junction box with remote amplier
Remote Amplier Outdoor Location
The amplier can be installed and operated outdoors. However, it must be protected from the elements, as follows:
• The ambient environment/temperature rating for the unit is -4° F to 140° F (-20° C to 60° C).
• If an indoor location is within 100 feet (30 meters) of the detector, consider increasing the cable length
and mounting the amplier indoors.
• At minimum, fabricate a roof or shield over and/or around the amplier to protect the LCD display screen
from direct sunlight.
Pipelines and Fluid Flow
Take the following precautions during installation:
• Do not install the meter on pipes with extreme pipe vibrations. If pipes are vibrating, secure the piping
with appropriate pipe supports in front of and behind the meter. If vibrations can’t be restrained, mount
the amplier in a remote location.
• Do not install the detector close to pipeline valves, ttings or impediments that can cause ow disturbances.
• For detectors with PTFE liners, do not install the detector on suction sides of pumps.
• Do not install the detector on outlet sides of piston or diaphragm pumps. Pulsating ow can aect meter
performance.
• Avoid installing the detector near equipment that produces electrical interference such as electric motors,
transformers, variable frequency, power cables, etc.
• Verify that both ends of the signal cables are securely fastened.
• Place power cables and signal cables in separate conduits.
• Place the meter where there is enough access for installation and maintenance tasks.

Meter Orientation
Mag meters can operate accurately in any pipeline orientation and can measure volumetric ow in forward and
reverse directions.
Note: A "Forward Flow" direction arrow is printed on the detector label.

Vertical Placement
Mag meters perform best when placed vertically, with liquid owing upward and meter electrodes in a closed,
full pipe.
Vertical placement allows the pipe to remain completely full, even in low flow, low pressure applications, and it prevents solids build-up, sediment deposit and accumulation on the liner and electrodes.
Note: Carefully observe the “Forward Flow” label on the meter body and install the meter accordingly.
Horizontal Placement
M-5000 meters are equipped with an "Empty Pipe Detection" feature. If an electrode mounted in the pipe is not
covered by uid, the meter will display an "Empty Pipe Detection" condition. The meter will send out an error
message and stop measuring ow. When the electrode is again covered with uid, the error message disappears
and the meter will begin measuring.
When installing the meter on a horizontal pipe, mount the detector to the pipe with the ow-measuring electrode axis in a horizontal plane (three and nine o’clock). This placement helps prevent solids build-up, sediment
deposit and accumulation on the electrodes.

Straight Pipe Requirements
Sucient straight-pipe runs are required at the detector inlet and outlet for optimum meter accuracy and performance. An equivalent of three diameters of straight pipe is required on the inlet (upstream) side. Two diameters are
required on the outlet (downstream) side.
Pipe Reducer Requirements
With pipe reducers, a smaller meter can be mounted in larger pipelines. This arrangement may increase low-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 ow disturbances and excessive loss of head. If this is not possible, install the custom pipe reducers as if they were ttings
and install the required amount of straight pipe.
Page 10
(12-10)
Installation & Operation
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 distance between the meter and
the injection point should be between 50 and 100 feet (15 and 30 meters). The distance must be long enough to
allow the water/chemical solution to reach the meter in a complete, homogeneous mixture. If the injection point
is too close, the meter senses the two dierent conductivities for each liquid. This will likely result in inaccurate
measurements. The injection method – spaced bursts, continuous stream of drips or liquid or gas – can also affect downstream readings by the meter.
Sometimes, due to circumstances, it’s dicult to specify the exact downstream placement distances. Contact
Badger Meter Technical Support to review your application, if necessary.

Partially-Filled Pipe Situations
In some locations, the process pipe may be momentarily only partially lled. Examples include: lack of back pressure, insucient line pressure, gravity ow applications, etc.
To eliminate these situations, do not install the meter at the highest point of the pipeline.
Do not install the meter in a vertical, downward ow section of pipe.
Always position the ON/OFF valves on the downstream side of the meter.
Page 12
Do not install in a vertical, downward position. Position "On/O" valves on downstream side.
To minimize the possibility of partially-full pipe ows in horizontal, gravity or low pressure applications, create a
pipe arrangement that ensures the detector remains full of liquid at all times.
(12-10)
Installation & Operation
GASKETS RECOMMENDED
Meter Gaskets and Grounding
Gasket and grounding requirements must be considered when determining the meter location, orientation and
application.
Meter/Pipeline Connection Gaskets
Install gaskets (not provided) between the detector's isolating liner and the pipeline ange to ensure a proper
and secure hydraulic seal. Use gaskets that are compatible with the uid. Center each gasket on the ange to
avoid ow restrictions or turbulence in the line.
During installation, do not use graphite or any electrically conductive sealing compound to hold the gaskets.
This could compromise the accuracy of the measuring signal.
If using a grounding ring in the detector/pipeline connection, place the ring between two gaskets. (See Non-
Conductive Pipe Grounding on page 14.)
(12-10)
Page 13
Model M-5000 Mag Meter
GASKETS RECOMMENDED
GROUNDING RING
GROUNDING RING
Meter Grounding
Process pipeline material can be either electrically conductive (metal) or not electrically conductive (made of or
lined with PVC, berglass or concrete).
Important: It is essential that the mag meter amplier’s input ground (zero voltage reference) be electrically
connected to the liquid media and to a good, solid earth ground reference.
Conductive Pipe Grounding
To achieve an adequate ground, the meter body MUST be electrically connected to the liquid media. The mag
meter anges are provided with grounding bolts for this purpose.
If the pipe material is electrically conductive, simply install grounding straps between these grounding bolts and
the mating anges.
To ensure a good electrical connection at the mating anges, we recommend that drilling and tapping the
anges and install a grounding screw (not provided).
These grounding straps must be copper wire, at least 12AWG size. They must be connected on both sides (inlet
and outlet) of the detector and to a local, earth ground.
Non-Conductive Pipe Grounding
Important: If the process pipe is not electrically conductive (PVC, berglass, cement-lined pipes or any other
non-conductive material) and the meter was not originally ordered with an optional grounding electrode, install
a pair of grounding rings between the mating anges at both ends of the meter. See the following illustration.
In this case, the grounding straps should be connected to both of the grounding rings and to a good, solid earth
ground. Grounding rings are available in stainless steel. If the uid is too aggressive for stainless steel, order a
meter with the optional grounding electrode in a material compatible with the uid.
Amplier Mounting Conguration Options
There are two conguration options for mounting the amplier. There are many options to accommodate a variety of meter-placement and environmental conditions.
Meter Mount Conguration
Page 14
The meter mount conguration has the amplier mounted directly on the detector. This compact, self-contained
conguration minimizes installation wiring.
(12-10)
Installation & Operation
Remote Mount Conguration
The remote mount conguration places the amplier at a location away from the uid ow and detector. This is
necessary in situations where process uid temperature or the environment exceeds amplier ratings.
The detector and amplier are connected by wires, run through conduit, between junction boxes on the detector and the amplier. The distance between the detector junction box and amplier junction box can be up to
100 feet (30 meters). A remote mounting bracket is supplied.
Submersible Option
If installing the meter in a vault, order the remote amplier option. Do not install the amplier inside a vault. We
also recommend ordering the remote meter package with the submersible option (NEMA 6P). This will eliminate
any potential problems resulting from humidity or temporary ooding in the vault.
Note: The National Electronics Manufacturer's Association (NEMA) 6P enclosures are constructed for indoor or
outdoor use to provide protection against access to hazardous parts; to provide a degree of protection against
ingress of solid foreign objects and water (hose directed water and the entry of water during prolonged submersion at a limited depth); that provide an additional level of protection against corrosion and that will be undamaged by the external formation of ice on the enclosure.
Wiring
Wiring Safety
At installation, be sure to comply with the following requirements:
• Keep all lines as short as possible.
• Use twisted pair shielded wire for all output wiring.
• Observe all applicable, local electrical codes.
(12-10)

Installation & Operation
Programming the M-5000
The M-5000 amplier is pre-programmed from the factory. No additional programming is necessary, however,
for special features, the meter can be programmed for specic requirements.
Function Buttons
All M-5000 programming is accomplished using the three function buttons located on the front of the amplier.
Screen navigation and digit and parameter selection is performed by a combination of these three buttons.
The up-arrow button allows scrolling through eight menu screens. This button is also used to advance numerical digits to change values, such as frequency, period, EP level, etcetera, as well as toggle on-o conditions and
ow directions.
The right-arrow button allows digit selection from left to right and allows selecting either the top row of the
display or the bottom row (the bottom row is active when ashing).
The EXIT SAVE button allows the saving of changed values and conditions, toggling between the upper and
lower display lines and returning to a previous menu.
Display
The top row displays seven digits for specic values on each screen and the bottom row displays meter and register condition icons and current screen descriptions.
The icons, from left to right indicate:
battery status (shown full charge), data communication, password-protected amplier lock (shown unlocked),
warning/caution condition and empty pipe detection
Battery Levels
The battery icon indicates three levels of capacity:
Greater than 3 volts (maximum = 3.6V)
(12-10)
Greater than 2 volts, less than 3 volts (recommended battery replacement)
Less than 2 volts (measuring has stopped)

Security
The M-5000 security feature allows the option to restrict access to the meter by way of a ve-digit Personal Identication Number (PIN). The system administrator can set up a single PIN for each of the three dierent levels of
access:
• Administration - allows access to all M-5000 menu conguration screens.
• Service - allows access to service-level and user-level menu conguration screens.
• User - allows access only to user-level menu conguration screens.
Note: For a lost PIN, Contact Badger Meter Technical Support at 800-456-5023 for a replacement PIN.
Not all levels of access need to be set. If no PINs are set up, any M-5000 user will have access to all functions.

U
This parameter sets the maximum ow the system is expected to measure. This parameter has inuence on other system parameters. These parameters include:
• Low Flow Cuto – Changes to full scale ow aect the measuring cut-o threshold
of the meter
• Alarm Outputs – Changes to full scale ow adjusts the thresholds for generating set
point alarms
• Pulse Outputs – Changes to full scale ow adjusts the pulse frequency and duty
cycle
Change the full scale ow based on the meter size and the application’s requirements.
Verify that the full scale ow falls within the meter’s suggested ow range limits"
Flow Range: 0.328 to 32.8 FPS (0.1 to 10 m/s)
The full scale ow is valid for both ow directions.
Note: If the ow rate exceeds the full scale setting of more than 25%,
a FLOW_OVERLOAD_WARNING message indicates that the congured full scale
range has been exceeded. However, the meter will continue to measure. This will
aect the latency of the pulse outputs and possibly cause overow.
Low ow cuto denes the threshold at which ow measurement will be forced to zero.
The cuto value can be set from 0% to 10% of the full scale ow. Increasing this threshold will help prevent false readings during “no ow” conditions possibly caused by pipe
vibration or inherent system noise..

This parameter lets you set how many pulses per unit of measure
will be transmitted to remote applications. For example, assuming
the unit of measure is gallons:
• Setting the Pulses/Unit to 1 will transmit 1 pulse every gallon
• Setting the Pulses/Unit to 0.01 will transmit 1 pulse every 100
gallons
You must congure pulses/unit if the function of the selected output
is to be forward or reverse .
This parameter must be considered with the Pulse Width and Full
Scale Flow parameters. The maximum pulse frequency is 100 Hz.
The frequency is correlated with the ow rate. Violation of output
frequency limits will generate a PULSE_OVERLOAD_WARNING.
This parameter establishes the ON duration of the transmitted pulse.
The congurable range is from 0 to 500ms.
• Non-zero pulse width conguration – the OFF duration of the
transmitted pulse is dependent on ow rate. The OFF duration
is to be at least the congured ON duration. At full scale ow,
the ON duration equals the O duration. The maximum congurable output frequency is limited to 100 Hz.
• The duty cycle of the transmitted pulse is at 50% of the output
frequencies greater than 1 Hz.
This parameter must be considered with the Pulses/Unit and Full
Scale Flow parameters. The maximum pulse frequency is 100 Hz.
The frequency is correlated with the ow rate. Violation of output
frequency limits will generate a PULSE_OVERLOAD_WARNING.

This parameter establishes, as a percentage of full scale ow, the
threshold at which the output alarm will be activated. Flow rates
above the threshold will activate the output alarm.
This parameter lets you set the output switch to normally open or
normally closed. If normally open is selected, the output switch is
open (no current) when the output is inactive, and closed (current
ows) when the output is active.
If normally closed is selected, the output switch is closed (current
ows) when the output is inactive, and open (no current) when the

Maintenance
Mandatory, routine or scheduled maintenance should not be required for the Badger M-5000 Mag Meter electronics or ow tube after proper installation.
However, some occurrences may require personnel to perform the following:
• Flow tube and electrode cleaning
• Circuit board replacement
These maintenance procedures are discussed in this section.
Do not clean components inside the amplier or junction box.
Cleaning the Flow Tube and Electrode
At times ow tube, electrodes, amplier/junction box housings and the amplier window may need periodic
cleaning, depending on process uid properties, uid ow rate and surrounding environment.
Clean the ow tube and electrodes by following the material handling and cleaning procedures documented
in Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS) guidelines for the products(s) that were in contact with the ow tube and
electrodes.
Should ow tube and/or electrode cleaning become necessary:
1. Disconnect detector from pipeline.
2. Clean electrodes according to MSDS guidelines.
3. Reconnect detector to pipeline.

Installation & Operation
Troubleshooting
The M-5000 mag meter is designed for many years of optimal performance. However, should it malfunction,
there are certain things that we recommend you check before contacting our Technical Support department or
your local Badger Meter Representative.
Note: If the uid measured has a high concentration of conductive solids, deposits may accumulate on the
internal liner walls and electrodes. These deposits will cause a reduction of the measuring output. Thus, Badger
Meter recommends that you remove the meter and inspect the liner and electrodes after six months. If deposits
are found, remove them with a soft brush. Repeat inspection process every six months or until an appropriate
inspection cycle can be established for the specic application. Other general conditions include:
Description Possible Cause Recommended Action
Flow is present but display
is "0"
Inaccurate measuring Improper calibration.
Blank display Dead battery Replace battery.
Flow rate value known to
be wrong
Flow rate indication unstable
Disconnected signal cable.
Detector mounted opposite of the main
Flow direction (see arrow on the nameplate).
Coil or electrode cables exchanged.
Improper low ow cutoff or full scale ow.
Wrong calibration parameter.
Pipe not fully lled, or air in pipe.
Invalid uid conductivity.
Invalid uid mixture.
Detector factor.
Deposits on electrodes and/or liner.
Incorrect pipe size programmed.
Cable issue.
Grounding issue.
Partially full pipe.
Air in pipe.
Invalid uid conductivity.
Check signal cable.
Turn detector 180° or switch terminal E1 and E2 or
reprogram to bi-directional mode
Check cable connections for cross wiring.
Replace conguration defaults.
Check the parameters (detector factor and size)
according to supplied data sheet.
Check if meter is completely lled with uid.
Purge line to eliminate air bubbles.
Check value on label.
Check and remove deposits.
Check size if necessary.
Make sure cable is shielded and not vibrating.
Make sure meter is properly grounded to a good
earth ground.
Make sure pipe is full of uid.
Make sure uid does not contain air bubbles.
Make sure amplier is not too close to sources of
electrical interference.
