Badger Meter Irrigation Sensors - 1/2 and larger" - Manual (Page 7)

Installation & Operation Manual
5. DO NOT make an underground splice unless
absolutely necessary.
6. Route the cable from the sensor to a Badger Meter
flow monitor/transmitter. The cable may be extended
up to 2000 feet, using 2-conductor shielded 20 AWG
or larger stranded copper wire with appropriate
ratings. Be sure to leave enough flexibility in the cable
or conduit to allow for future service of sensor, if
necessary.
7. When connecting to a Badger Meter flow monitor/
transmitter, locate the section of terminal strip on the
monitor labeled “SENSOR INPUT” or “SENSOR”.
Connect the red wire to “IN”, "SIGNAL(+)" or
"SIGNAL" terminal and the black wire to “GND",
"SIGNAL(-)”, or "COM" terminal and the shield drain
wire (if applicable) to “SLD”.
8. When interfacing with other equipment, the signal
wave forms and power requirements are as shown in
the specifications section. Refer to technical bulletin
DTB-058 at www.badgermeter.com.
ELECTRICAL INSTALLATION
"HIGH TEMPERATURE" SENSORS
1. Route a cable from the sensor to a Badger Meter
flow monitor/transmitter. The cable may be run up
to 2000 feet, using 2-conductor shielded 20 AWG or
larger stranded copper wire. Be sure to leave enough
flexibility in the cable or conduit to allow for future
service of sensor, if necessary.
2. Connect to cable inside sensor electronic housing on
Series 220 sensors or attach to the sensor cable on the
Series 225/226 and connect with standard wire nuts.
3. When connecting to a Badger Meter flow monitor or
transmitter, locate the section of terminal strip on the
monitor labeled “SENSOR INPUT” or “SENSOR”.
Connect the red wire to “ IN”, "SIGNAL(+)" or
"SIGNAL" terminal and the black wire to “GND",
"SIGNAL(-)”, or "COM" terminal and the shield drain
wire (if applicable) to “SLD”.
4. When interfacing with other equipment, the signal
wave forms and power requirements are as shown in
the specifications section.
ELECTRICAL INSTALLATION
The Series 200 sensor is approved, as an entity, as
intrinsically safe when installed in conformance with
Badger Meter installation drawing 06-480-002 as specified
on the blue label identifying an intrinsically safe sensor.
Entity approval implies that only the sensor is approved
as intrinsically safe. Unless power supplies, equipment,
and instruments connected to the sensor are each
rated either explosion-proof or intrinsically safe, these
devices cannot be installed in a hazardous area. The
referenced installation drawing shows such apparatus
located in a non-hazardous location. Proper interfacing
between the hazardous and non-hazardous areas must be
provided. It is of absolute importance that this interface
be constructed and that all wiring be performed by
qualified contractors. To ensure the intrinsic safety of
the installation, the connection of the intrinsically safe
sensor to instruments and or power supplies must take
place using an approved intrinsically safe barrier located
in a non-hazardous area. These barriers, listed below, are
readily available from various suppliers.
