SYSTEM DESCRIPTION
The Badger Meter M-Series® Model M1000 electromagnetic flow meter is intended for fluid metering in most industries
including water, wastewater, food and beverage, pharmaceutical and chemical.
The basic components of an electromagnetic flow meter are:
• The detector, which includes the flow tube, isolating liner and measuring electrodes.
• The amplifier, which is the electronic device responsible for the signal processing, flow calculation, display and output
signals.

Figure 1: Amplifier and Detector
The construction materials of the wetted parts (liner and electrodes) should be appropriate for the specifications on the
intended type of service. We recommend that you review all of the compatibilities consistent with the specifications.
Each meter is factory tested and calibrated. A calibration certificate is included with each meter.
WARNING
CONSULT THE INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE DETERMINING THE TEMPERATURE RATING OF THE CABLE.

IMPORTANT
Wire connections must meet or exceed a temperature rating of 176° F (80° C).
Measuring Principle
In accordance with Faraday's induction principle, electric voltage is induced in a conductor moving through a magnetic
field. In electromagnetic flow measurement, the moving conductor is replaced by the flowing fluid. Two opposite measuring
electrodes conduct the induced voltage, which is proportional to flow velocity to the amplifier. Flow volume is calculated
based on pipe diameter.

Rigging, Lifting and Moving Large Units
WHEN RIGGING, LIFTING OR MOVING LARGE UNITS, FOLLOW THESE GUIDELINES:
ATTENTION
POUR LE GRÉEMENT, DU LEVAGE OU DU DÉPLACEMENT D'UNITÉS DE GRANDE TAILLE, VEUILLEZ SUIVRE CES
INSTRUCTIONS :
• DO NOT lift or move a meter by its amplifier, junction box, detector neck,
orcables.
• Use a crane rigged with soft straps to lift and move meters with flow tubes
that are 2…8 in. (50…200 mm). Place the straps around the detector body,
between the flanges, on each side of the detector.
• Use lifting lugs when lifting meter flow tubes that are 5.91 inches (150 mm) in
diameter or larger.
®
Place straps between flanges.
Figure 3: Rigging Large Units
• 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.
Figure 4: 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 meter with a fork lift on the jacket sheet. This could damage the body.

Meter Location
• Do not install the detector on the suction side of pumps. This could damage the liner (in particular PTFE liners).
• Verify that the pipeline is always filled on the measuring point. If not a correct or accurate measurement is not possible.
• Do not install the detector on the highest point of a pipeline system. Gas accumulation may follow.
• Do not install the detector in downcomer pipes with free outlet.
• 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.
• 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.
Figure 8: Meter location
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 150 feet (50 meters) of the detector, consider increasing the cable length and mounting the
amplifier indoors.
• At minimum, create a roof or shield over and/or around the amplifier to protect the LCD display screen from
directsunlight.
• See “Remote Mount Configuration” on page14.

Inlet and Outlet Pipe
Always install the detectors in front of fittings producing turbulences. If this is not possible, plan for distances greater than 3 ×
DN. Distance should be greater than 2 × DN.
Figure 9: Inlet and outlet pipe
Meter Orientation
Mag meters can operate accurately in any pipeline orientation and can measure volumetric flow in forward and
reversedirections.
OTE:NA "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.
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.

M1000 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.

Figure 11: Horizontal placement
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 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-flow accuracy.
There are no special requirements for standard, concentric pipe reducers.
Custom fabricated pipe reducers must have an approximate slope angle of
8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.

You can determine the occurring pressure drop by using the shown nomogram
(only applicable to liquids with similar viscosity like water).
OTE:NIn cases where flow velocities are very low, you can increment them by
reducing the size on the measuring point and hence obtain a better
measuring accuracy.
Define pressure loss:
1. Calculate diameter ratio d/D.
2. Read pressure loss depending on d/D ratio and ow velocity.

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 15: Chemical injection point downstream of meter
If a meter must be installed downstream of a chemical injection connection,
the distance between the flange and the injection point should be between
50…100 feet (15…30 meters). The distance must be long enough to
allow the water or chemical solution to reach the meter in a complete,
homogeneousmixture.
Figure 16: Chemical injection point upstream of meter
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.
Partially Filled Pipe Situations
In some locations, the process pipe may be momentarily only partially filled. Examples include: lack of back pressure,
insufficient line pressure and gravity flow applications.
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 flow section of pipe.
• Always position the ON/OFF valves on the downstream side of the meter.

To minimize the possibility of partially full pipe flows in horizontal, gravity or low pressure applications, create a pipe
arrangement that allows the detector to remain full of liquid at all times.

AMPLIFIER MOUNTING CONFIGURATION OPTIONS
There are two configurations for mounting the amplifier and many options to accommodate a variety of meter placement
and environmental conditions.
Meter Mount Conguration
The meter mount configuration has the amplifier mounted directly on the detector. This compact, self-contained
configuration minimizes installation wiring.
Remote Mount Conguration
The remote mount configuration places the amplifier at a location away from the fluid flow and detector. This is necessary in
situations where process fluid temperature or the environment exceeds amplifier ratings.
The detector and amplifier are connected by wires, run through conduit, between junction boxes on the detector and the
amplifier. The distance between the detector junction box and amplifier junction box can be up to 150 feet (50 meters). A
remote mounting bracket is supplied.
Use a remote mount configuration in the following cases:
• Detector protection class IP 68
• Medium temperature > 212° F (100° C)
• Strong vibrations
DO NOT INSTALL THE SIGNAL CABLE CLOSE TO POWER CABLES, ELECTRIC MACHINES, ETC.
MAKE SURE THAT SIGNAL CABLES ARE SECURELY FASTENED. DUE TO CAPACITY CHANGES, CABLE MOVEMENTS MAY
RESULT IN INCORRECT MEASUREMENTS.
FOR MEDIUM TEMPERATURE HIGHER THAN 158° F 70° C MAKE SURE THAT ANY CABLE IS NOT IN CONTACT WITH THE
HOT SURFACE OF THE DETECTOR.
Submersible Option
If you are installing the meter in a vault, you should order the remote mount, submersible amplifier option. You must not
install the amplifier inside a vault. This will eliminate any potential problems resulting from humidity or temporary flooding in
the vault.
OTE:NNational 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); to provide an additional level of protection against corrosion and will be undamaged by the external
formation of ice on the enclosure.
Protection Class
To fulfill requirements of the protection class, follow these guidelines:
• BODY SEALS NEED TO BE UNDAMAGED AND IN PROPER CONDITION.
• ALL OF THE BODY SCREWS NEED TO BE FIRMLY TIGHTENED.
• OUTER DIAMETERS OF THE USED WIRING CABLES MUST CORRESPOND TO CABLE INLETS (FOR M20 DIAMETER 5…13
MM). IN CASES WHERE CABLE INLET IS NOT USED, PUT ON A DUMMY PLUG.
• TIGHTEN CABLE INLETS.
• IF POSSIBLE, LEAD CABLE AWAY DOWNWARDS. HUMIDITY MUST NOT GET INTO CABLE INLET.

• WE NORMALLY DELIVER THE METER IN ACCORDANCE WITH PROTECTION CLASS IP 67. IF YOU HOWEVER REQUIRE A
HIGHER PROTECTION CLASS, THE AMPLIFIER IS TO BE INSTALLED SEPARATELY FROM THE DETECTOR. IF REQUESTED,
WE CAN ALSO DELIVER THE DETECTOR IN IP 68.

• SERREZ LES ENTRÉES DE CÂBLE.
• SI CELA EST POSSIBLE, DIRIGEZ LE CÂBLE VERS LE BAS. ÉVITEZ QUE DE L'HUMIDITÉ NE PÉNÉTRE DANS L'ENTRÉE DE

VOUS EXIGEZ UNE CLASSE DE PROTECTION SUPÉRIEURE, L'AMPLIFICATEUR DOIT ÊTRE INSTALLÉ SÉPAREMENT DU
DÉTECTEUR. SUR DEMANDE, LE DÉTECTEUR PEUT ËTRE OFFERT EN IP 68.
METER GASKETS AND GROUNDING
Gasket and grounding requirements must be considered when determining the meter location, orientation and application.
Meter/Pipeline Connection Gaskets
You must install gaskets (not provided) between the detector's isolating liner
and the pipeline flange to ensure a proper and secure hydraulic seal. Use gaskets
that are compatible with the fluid. Center each gasket on the flange to avoid flow
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 you are using a grounding ring in the detector/pipeline connection, place the
ring between two gaskets. (See “Pipelines with Cathodic Protection” on page16.)
GASKETS RECOMMENDED
Figure 20: Meter/pipeline connection gaskets
Meter Grounding
Process pipeline material can be either electrically conductive (metal) or not electrically conductive (made of or lined with
PVC, fiberglass or concrete).
IMPORTANT
It is essential that the meter amplifier’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 meter flanges 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 flanges.
To provide a good electrical connection at the mating flanges, we recommend that you drill and tap the flanges and install a
grounding screw (not provided).
Grounding straps must be copper wire, at least 12 AWG size. They must be connected on both sides (inlet and outlet) of the
detector and to a local, earth ground.
Meter Gaskets and Grounding

Pipelines with Cathodic Protection
For pipelines with cathodic protection, install the meter with potential-free contacts. No electric connection from the meter to
the pipeline system may exist and power supply is to be provided via isolating transformer.
USE GROUNDING ELECTRODES GROUNDING RINGS ALSO NEED TO BE INSTALLED ISOLATED FROM THE
PIPELINE SYSTEM.

Non-Conductive Pipe Grounding
If the process pipe is not electrically conductive (PVC, fiberglass, cement-lined pipes or any other non-conductive material)
and the meter was not originally ordered with an optional grounding electrode, you must install a pair of grounding rings
between the mating flanges 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 your fluid is too aggressive for stainless
steel, order a meter with the optional grounding electrode in a material
compatible with the fluid.
