M-Series® M2000
Connecting a Badger Meter Endpoint to the M2000
Application Brief
IAB-185-01-EN (August 2012)
OVERVIEW
This document describes the connection of a Badger Meter-
supplied endpoint (transmitter), such as an ORION® or GALAXY®
RTR®, or Itron® 100WP or 60WP to an M2000 Mag Meter.
QUICK SETUP FOR TOTALIZER AND FLOW UNIT
M2000 Front Panel Buttons
1. Navigate to Start Menu > Quick Setup > Flow Unit.
2. Select the desired unit of measurement.
3. Navigate to Start Menu > Quick Setup > Totalizer Unit.
4. Select the desired unit of measurement.
PROGRAMMING THE M2000 FOR THE ENDPOINT
Programming for Output #1
1. Navigate to Start Menu >Main Menu > Inputs/Outputs >
Digital Output 1 >Pulses/Unit.
2. Select the desired values.
NOTE: If the Pulse/Unit value is too high, error 110 will display
when you save. The Pulses/Unit and Full Scale Flow
parameters are dependent values that cannot exceed
10 kHz. To correct the error, decrease either or both of the
Pulse/Unit and the Full Scale Flow values.
3. Navigate to Select Function > AMR (50 ms pulse).
4. Press Efour times until the menu text is at Exit This Menu
to exit the programming.
Programming for Output #2
1. Navigate to Start Menu >Main Menu > Inputs/Outputs >
Digital Output 2 >Pulses/Unit.
2. Select the desired values.
3. Navigate to Start Menu >Main Menu > Inputs/Outputs >
Digital Output 1 >Pulses/Width.
4. Set the value to 0050 ms.
5. Press Efour times until the menu text is at Exit This Menu
to exit the programming.
ADDITIONAL NOTES
If the M2000 displays a reading, it will be necessary to either
program the endpoint to match the same reading on the M2000,
or reset the totalizer(s). The M2000 has a separate Unit Multiplier
setting in the Advanced menu that establishes the resolution of the
totalizer reading on the display. This multiplier displays a seven-digit
reading and is set to OFF from the factory. The endpoint must be
programmed to coincide with the value set in the Pulses/Unit and
the Unit Multiplier. For example, if the Unit Multiplier is set to 100
and the Pulse/Unit is set to 0000000.010, the reading on the display
would be 1234500 (the endpoint should be programmed to 12345).
To use the reading from the endpoint in the Reading Data
Management Software, the correct Test Circle Code will also need
to be added in the software. The Test Circle Code will depend on the
Pulses/Unit that was programmed into the M2000.
WIRING AN ORION OR GALAXY RTR ENDPOINT TO
THE M2000
Use either Output #1 or #2 when connecting an endpoint to the
M2000. Output #1 is the recommended option, as an AMR function
exists that will make for easier programming.
To connect the endpoint to Output #1, connect the endpoint wires
this way:
• Terminal 1: Red
• Terminal 2: Black and Green
• Remove jumper JP1 (output #1)
To connect the endpoint to Output #2, connect the endpoint wires
this way:
• Terminal 3: Red
• Terminal 4: Black and Green
• Remove jumper JP2 (output #2)
WIRING AN ITRON 100WP OR 60WP ENDPOINT TO
THE M2000
To connect the endpoint to Output #1, connect the endpoint wires
this way:
• Terminal 1: Red and White
• Terminal 2: Black
• Remove jumper JP1 (output #1)
To connect the endpoint to Output #2, connect the endpoint wires
this way:
• Terminal 3: Red and white
• Terminal 4: Black
• Remove jumper JP2 (output #2)
