Safety Precautions and Instructions
Page 5October 2018 MAG-UM-01272-EN-07

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 you unpack 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 your order form.
• Inspect the meter for any signs of shipping damage, scratches, or loose or broken parts.
OTE:N If the unit was damaged in transit, it is your responsibility to request an inspection report from the carrier within
48 hours. You must then file a claim with the carrier and contact Badger Meter for appropriate repairs or replacement.
• All detectors with polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) liners are shipped with a liner protector on each end to maintain
proper form of the PTFE material during shipping and storage.
OTE:N Do not remove the liner protectors until you are ready to install.
• Storage: If the meter is to be stored, place it in its original container in a dry, sheltered location. Storage temperature
ranges are: –40…160° F (–40…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 amplifier, junction box or cables.
• Use a crane rigged with soft straps to lift and move meters with flow tubes that are between two inches and eight
inches (50 mm and 200 mm). Place the straps around the detector body, between the flanges, on each side of the
detector.
• Use the lifting lugs when lifting meter flow tubes that are 10 inches (250 mm) in diameter or larger.
®
®
Place straps between flanges. 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 while they are still crated. Use this method to position large detectors vertically into pipelines.
Figure 3: Sling-Rigged lifting methods
• Do not lift a detector with a forklift by positioning the detector body on the forks, with the flanges 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
flow 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.

METER LOCATION, ORIENTATION AND APPLICATIONS
The M2000 provides two amplifier mounting options: a meter mount option and a remote mount option.
Meter mount Remote mount
Figure 5: Amplifier mounting options
Temperature Ranges
TO PREVENT DAMAGE TO THE METER, STRICTLY OBSERVE THE AMPLIFIER’S AND DETECTOR’S MAXIMUM
TEMPERATURE RANGES.
• In regions with extremely high ambient temperatures, protect the detector.
• In cases where fluid temperature exceeds 212° F (100° C), use the remote version.
Amplifier Ambient temperature – 4…140° F (–20…60° C)
Detector Fluid temperature PTFE / PFA – 40…302° F (– 40…150° C)
Hard rubber 32…176° F (0…80° C)
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…140° F (–20…60° C).
• If an indoor location is within 500 feet (152 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.
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 cannot be restrained, mount the amplifier in a remote
location.
• Do not install the detector close to pipeline valves, fittings or impediments that can cause flow 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 flow can affect meter performance.
• Avoid installing the detector near equipment that produces electrical interference such as electric motors, transformers,
variable frequency, and power cables.
• 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 Location, Orientation and Applications
Page 8 October 2018MAG-UM-01272-EN-07

Meter Orientation
Mag meters can operate accurately in any pipeline orientation and can measure volumetric flow in forward and
reverse directions as long as the pipe is completely full.
OTE:N A "Forward Flow" direction arrow is printed on the detector label.
Vertical Placement
Mag meters perform best when placed vertically, with liquid flowing upward and meter electrodes in a closed, full pipe.
Figure 6: Vertical placement
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.
OTE:N Carefully observe the “Forward Flow” label on the meter body and install the meter accordingly. When
installed vertically, rotate amplifier so that cable glands are facing down.
Horizontal Placement
M2000 meters are equipped with an Empty Pipe Detection feature. If an electrode mounted in the pipe is not covered by fluid
for five seconds, the meter will display an Empty Pipe Detection condition. The meter will send out an error message and
stop measuring flow. When the electrode is again covered with fluid, 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 flow-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
Sufficient straight-pipe runs are required at the detector inlet and outlet for optimum meter accuracy and performance. An
equivalent of 3…7 diameters of straight pipe is required on the inlet (upstream) side to provide a stable flow profile. 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-flow 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 flow disturbances and
excessive loss of head. If this is not possible, install the custom pipe reducers as if they were fittings and install the required
amount of straight pipe.
Figure 9: Pipe reducer requirements
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.
Figure 10: Chemical injection point upstream of meter
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 different 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.
Figure 11: Chemical injection point downstream of meter
Sometimes, due to circumstances, it is difficult to specify the exact downstream placement distances. Contact Badger Meter
Technical Support to review your application if necessary.
