Set one set of hex/jam nuts so that the distance
between the top surface of the hex nut and the top
surface of the hex mounting adaptor is equal to the “D”
dimension calculated above. Then adjust the other two
sets of hex/jam nuts 1½ inches below the first jam nut to
allow clearance for the tool top yoke.

Remove the tool split ring and clevis pin and slide tool
bottom yoke into the groove on the sensor hex mounting
adaptor and secure by replacing the clevis pin and split
ring.

Mark sleeve 2¾ inches from impeller end of metal
sleeve. This mark is a stopping point to insure that
impeller/bearing is not damaged. Open the bleed
petcock valve on the hex adapter to relieve the pressure
resulting from the sensor tube insertion. Carefully hand
insert the Badger Meter hot tap flow sensor sleeve
assembly into the hex mounting adapter until the mark
lines up with the top of the hex mounting adapter. At this
point the sleeve will have been inserted past the top two
“O”-rings in the adapter (approx. 1 1-1/4 inches). Take
care not to push the sensor past the mark on the sleeve
as the impeller could be damaged if it strikes the closed
valve.

Fully extend tool by turning drive nut counterclockwise
with a 15/16 inch socket or box wrench (not provided)
until drive nut contacts tool and slide the positioning
collar into the tool top yoke.

Rotate tool so the threaded rod with the adjusted hex/
jam nuts is centered in the top yoke of hot tap tool.

Rotate sensor sleeve so positioning collar holes align
with the threaded rods and flow direction label is in
general direction making sure the positioning collar
is located in the recessed area of the top yoke. Slide
the top yoke of the tool over the positioning collar and
secure by tightening the two thumbscrews on the top of
the yoke.

Close the bleed petcock and slowly open the isolation
valve. Slowly turn the 15/16 inch drive nut clockwise to
insert the sensor tube assembly through the valve and
into the pipeline. Carefully guide the three threaded
studs of the hex mounting adapter through the holes of
the sensor positioning collar. Carefully lower the sensor
until the positioning collar contacts the hex nut preset for
the correct depth adjustment. Install the three lock nuts
onto the threaded rods, tightening only the lock nut on
the threaded rod with the preset hex/jam nut; then, bring
the two remaining lock nuts down until they just contact
the positioning collar. Do not tighten at this time

Remove the Model HTT Insertion/Removal Tool, by
loosening the two thumbscrews, removing the clevis pin
and then sliding the insertion tool off the sensor. Then
bring the two remaining sets of hex/jam nuts up to the
underside of the positioning collar, and tighten.

Align the sensor by first loosening the two set screws
in the side of positioning collar with a 3/32 inch Allen
wrench. Then align the sensor sight holes along the
pipe axis using the alignment rod provided in the sensor
installation kit. Ensure that the flow label arrow on the
sensor matches the liquid flow direction inside the pipe.
Tighten the positioning collar set screws. Note: As a
backup to the flow label arrow, there is a small hole
located beside the sight hole on the upstream side of
the sensor.

Electrical Installation "Standard" sensors
1) The metal collar on the top of the 220 sensors or an op-

tional conduit cap on the Series 250 sensors will accept
1/2 inch threaded conduit fittings.

2) 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. Be sure to leave enough flexibility
in the cable or conduit to allow for future service of sen-
sor, if necessary.

3) 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”.

4) When interfacing with other equipment consult manufac-

ture for input designations. 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 "IR" sensors
The sensor leads are supplied with watertight caps over the
ends. See Application Note DAB-031 and Technical Bulletin
DID-003 at www.badgermeter.com

1) DO NOT remove the plastic caps from the sensor leads

until ready to splice.

2) Use a twisted pair cable suitable for direct burial to con-

nect the sensor to the transmitter, monitor, or control-
ler. Multi-pair telecommunication cable or direct burial
cables may be used.

3) Make a water tight splice. Two part epoxy type water-

proof kits are recommended. Be sure the epoxy seals
the ends of the cable jacket.

4) Make sure the epoxy is hardened before inverting the

splice or dropping it in standing water.

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.
