Electrical Installation
The Series 200 Sensor is approved, as an entity, as Intrinsically Safe when installed in conformance with Badger Meter
installation drawings 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.
