METER DESCRIPTION
Badger
®
Model M-4000 electromagnetic meters are FM
approved for Class I, Div 1 hazardous locations. To achieve
hazardous location ratings electrodes in the fl ow 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 M-4000 Mag 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
fl uid, for a minimum of fi ve seconds, the meter displays an
Empty Pipe Detection condition, sends out an error message
if desired, and stops measuring to maintain accuracy. When
