About the Field Verication Device
Field Verification Device is a portable test device for the Badger Meter M-Series® of electromagnetic flowmeters. The M2000
and the M5000 meters can be tested using this device.
With the Field Verification Device, accurate verification of meter functionality is assured without taking the meter out of the
pipeline ("wet" test) and interrupting functionality. Meter diagnosis and calibration can be performed on site. A "dry" test
(removing the meter and bench testing) can also be performed. The complete verification test consumes approximately 20
minutes and results can be downloaded to a Microsoft Windows® personal computer.

The Device also:
• Determines if the M-Series meter is within one percent of the original factory calibration.
• Verifies the functionality of all of the meter's inputs and outputs.
• Measures electrode resistance and integrity.
• Measures coil resistance and integrity.
• Measures coil insulation resistance.
• Measures current and frequency at previously selected flow rate.
• Evaluates the signal processing functionality.
• Verifies that there is no high-voltage noise disturbing the coil circuit.

Disconnect the power to the amplifier before connecting the cable harness of the Verification Device.
Opening the Cover
1. Using a ¼ inch slotted screwdriver, remove the two right-hand screws from the front of the amplier.
2. Loosen the two left-hand screws until the screw heads protrude above the surface of the amplier door.
3. Open the amplier door from right side to left.
Connecting the Cable Harness
The individual connector wires are labeled as to where each connector is to be connected onto the internal circuit board of
the amplifier. A connection instruction label has been placed inside the amplifier for reference.
On the M2000 cable harness, the following connectors are tagged:
• Out A B RS232 (7-pin connector)
• Output C D Input (7-pin connector)
• Current Loop (2-pin connector)
• Detector Electrode (6=pin connector)
