Safety Precautions and Instructions
MAG-UM-00158-EN-07Page 8 June 2018

SYSTEM DESCRIPTION
The Badger Meter M-Series® model M3000 electromagnetic flow meters are FM approved for Class I, Div 2 hazardous
locations. To achieve hazardous location ratings, electrodes in the flow 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 M3000 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 fluid, for a minimum
of five 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 fluid, the error message disappears and the meter
continues measuring.
Amplier Mounting Conguration Options
Two amplifier-mounting configuration options are available to meet a variety of meter placement and
environmental conditions.
Meter Mount Configuration
The Meter Mount configuration has the amplifier mounted directly on the detector. This compact, self-contained
configuration minimizes installation wiring.
Figure 8: Meter mount
Remote Mount Configuration
• Remote Mount configuration places the amplifier and its functions at a location separate from the fluid flow and detector.
This configuration is necessary in situations where process fluid temperature or environment exceeds amplifier ratings. A
remote mounting bracket is supplied.
• The detector and amplifier are connected by wires, run through conduit, between junction boxes on the detector and
remote mounted amplifier. The distance between the detector junction box and amplifier junction box can be up to 100
feet (30 m).
• This configuration can also provide a more convenient amplifier programming and display placement for monitoring
meter readings.

METER/AMPLIFIER LOCATION, ORIENTATION AND APPLICATIONS
Remote Amplier Outdoor Location
The amplifier 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…122° F (–20…50° C).
• If an indoor location is within 100 feet (30 meters) of the detector, consider increasing the cable length and
mounting the amplifier indoors.
• At minimum, fabricate a roof or shield over and/or around the amplifier to protect the LCD display screen from
direct sunlight.
Temperatures
To prevent meter damage in any environment, minimum and maximum temperature ranges must be observed.
• The ambient temperature range surrounding the amplifier is – 4…122° F (–20…50° C).
• The ambient temperature range surrounding a remote junction box mounted to the detector is – 4…248° F
(–20…120° C).
Application Fluid Temperature Range Max. Ambient Temperature Liner Materials
Remote amplifier – 4…248° F (–20…120° C) 122° F (50° C) PFA, PTFE and Halar®
Remote amplifier 32…178° F (0…80° C) 122° F (50° C) Hard rubber
Meter mounted amplifier – 4…212° F (–20…100° C) 122° F (50° C) PFA, PTFE and Halar
Meter mounted amplifier 32…178° F (0…80° C) 122° F (50° C) Hard rubber
Pipelines and Fluid Flow Conditions
Pipeline and fluid flow conditions that should be avoided:
• 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 cannot be restrained, consider mounting the amplifier
remotely.
• Avoid installing the detector close to pipeline valves, fittings or impediments that can cause flow disturbances.
• For detectors with PTFE liners, avoid installing the detector on suction sides of pumps.
• Avoid installing the detector on outlet sides of piston or diaphragm pumps. Pulsating flow can affect meter
performance.
• Avoid locations near equipment producing electrical interference such as electric motors, transformers, variable
frequency, and power cables.
• Verify both ends of the signal cables are securely fastened.
• Place power and signal cables in separate conduit.
• Place the meter where there is enough access for installation/maintenance purposes.
