"High Temperature" Sensor
Designed for indoor or protected area applications such as
hydronic heating loops, boiler feed, and condensate return
line monitoring where the flow rates are between 0.5-30 feet/
second and temperatures may be up to 285 deg. F. High
temperature Series 228 and 250 sensors are supplied with
12 inches of 2-conductor 20 AWG shielded U.L. type PTLC
105°C cable inside the electronics housing.
"FM/CSA" Sensor
Designed for indoor or protected area applications where
intrinsic safety is required and the flow rates are between
0.5-30 feet/second and temperatures are below 221 deg. F.
FM/CSA sensors are supplied with 20 feet of 2-conductor 20
AWG shielded U.L. type PTLC 105°C cable. These sensors
must be used with an approved safety barrier.
"Magnetic" Sensor
Designed for use with the Badger
® Series 1400 battery
powered flow monitor in above or below or grade applica-
tions such as irrigation, municipal, and groundwater monitor-
ing where the flow rates are between 1-30 feet/second and
temperatures are below 221 deg. F.
Models 220BR, 220PVS, 225BR, 226BR, 220SS and
226SS
Model 220BR
This insert style sensor has a 5 1/4 inch long sleeve length,
and uses brass and bronze hardware. It is used in all pipe
sizes from 2.5 inch to 40.0 inch in diameter. A bronze 2
inch NPT externally threaded hex adapter is provided. The
adapter may be mounted to the pipe using a welded-on
threaded fitting such as a Thredolet
® or pipe saddle.
Model 220PVS
This insert style sensor has an 8 inch long sleeve length,
and uses PVC and stainless steel hardware. It is used in all
pipe sizes from 2.5 inch to 40.0 inch in diameter. A PVC 2
inch NPT externally threaded hex adapter is provided. The
adapter may be mounted to the pipe using a pipe saddle.
Model 220SS
This is the same as Model 220BR, except that the sensor,
sleeve and hex adapter are made of Series 300 stainless
steel.
Models 225BR
This insert style sensor has a 16 3/8 inch long sleeve length,
and uses brass and bronze hardware for hot tap installations.
It has a bronze isolation gate valve for applications where the
pipe is drained for initial installation but cannot be drained for
service.
Models 226BR
This is the same as Model 225BR, except that it has a ball
type isolation valve. The ball valve allows for higher pressure
use. We recommend this sensor when installation is to be
made under pressure, in a true “hot tap” installation. The ball
valve cannot be fouled by the tailings from the cutting opera-
tion.
INTRODUCTION
Used in conjunction with any Badger Meter Impeller flow
monitor or transmitter, Badger Meter non-magnetic flow
sensors provide an accurate reading of the rate of liquid
flow as well as total accumulated flow. A number of sensor
models are offered, which cover applications for a wide
range of pipe sizes and pressure/temperature specifications.
The flow sensors generate a frequency which is proportional
to flow rate. An internal preamplifier allows the pulse signal
to travel up to 2000 feet without further amplification. Power
to operate the sensor is provided by the flow monitor. The
impeller bearing assembly, shaft and O-rings are replaceable
in the field.
Badger Meter flow sensors feature a closed, six-bladed
impeller design, using a proprietary, non-magnetic sensing
technology. The forward-swept impeller shape provides
higher, more constant torque than four-bladed impeller
designs, and is less prone to fouling by water-borne debris.
The forward-curved shape, coupled with the absence
of magnetic drag, provides improved operation and
repeatability, even at lower flow rates. As the liquid flow
turns the impeller, a low impedance signal is transmitted with
a frequency proportional to the flow rate.
Sensors of similar type are interchangeable, so there is no
need for recalibration after servicing or replacement.
ELECTRONIC TYPES
Badger Meter provides several basic sensor configurations
using the same impeller element. This allows for a wide
range of applications and pipe sizes. Sensors are normally
supplied with 20 feet of 2-conductor 20 AWG shielded U.L.
type PTLC 105°C cable. Optional sensors designated with
the prefix "IR" feature two single conductor 18 AWG solid
copper wire leads 48 inches in length with U.L. Style 116666
direct burial insulation. These IR models are used in below
grade applications such as irrigation, municipal, and ground-
water monitoring. All Series 200 sensor electrical compo-
nents are self-contained. Pressure/temperature ratings for
the various models are contained in the Specifications sec-
tion of this manual. These models can be further described
as follows:
"Standard" Sensor
Designed for indoor or protected area applications such
as HVAC, pump control, and industrial process monitoring
where the flow rates are between 0.5-30 feet/second and
temperatures are below 221°F. Standard sensors are sup-
plied with 20 feet of 2-conductor 20 AWG shielded U.L. type
PTLC 105°C cable.
"IR" Sensor
Designed for below grade applications such as irrigation,
municipal, and groundwater monitoring where the flow rates
are between 0.5-30 feet/second and temperatures are below
180°F. IR sensors are supplied with two single conductors,
18 AWG solid copper wire leads 48 inches in length with U.L.
Style 116666 direct burial insulation.
