Amplifi er Printed Circuit Board (PCB) Stack
Replacement
All M-3000 mag meters operate through printed circuit
boards (PCBs) housed in the amplifi er. The PCBs are
grouped in a stack located behind the display/control card in
the display/programming chamber.

Because PCBs are complex circuits, with all meter functions
enabled through multiple links and layers, determining the
exact board and circuit that is causing a system problem is
diffi cult and usually requires test equipment.

Should a meter problem occur:

1. Call Badger Meter at (877) 243-1010, and discuss the

problem with a Technical Support Specialist.

2. If the problem appears to originate in a PCB, it will be

recommended that the entire PCB stack be removed and
returned to Badger Meter.
