M-Series® M2000
Electromagnetic Flow Meter Amplifier
DESCRIPTION
The innovative design of the Badger Meter M-Series® model M2000
amplifier represents the next generation of electromagnetic
(mag) flow meter signal processing. The M2000 incorporates the
latest developments in microprocessor signal conditioning. The
advanced design of the M2000 meter allows for an accuracy of
±0.25 percent with a flow range of 300:1. The M2000 amplifier can
be integrally mounted to the detector or can be remote-mounted,
if necessary. The amplifier targets a variety of applications and
is well suited for the diverse water and wastewater treatment
industry.
OPERATION
The M2000 amplifier receives the detector’s analog signal,
amplifies that signal and converts it into digital information. At
the processor level, the signal is analyzed through a series of
sophisticated software algorithms. After separating the signal from
electrical noise, it is converted into both analog and digital signals
that are used to display rate of flow and totalization. In addition,
the processor controls zero-flow stability, analog and frequency
outputs, serial communications and a variety of other parameters.
The large LCD display indicates rate of flow, forward and reverse
totalizers and diagnostic messages. The display also serves to guide
the user in simple terms through the user-friendly programmable
routines.

The M2000 amplifier’s main function is to detect and condition
flow information from the electromagnetic detector. The unit
is ideally suited for measuring dynamic, non-continuous flow. In
applications where a minimum and/or max­mum flow rate must be
i
tracked and monitored, the unit provides pulse signals that can be
fed to dedicated batch controllers, PLCs and other more specialized
instrumentation.

Enhanced security options
Programmable parameters of the amplifier include, but are not
limited to: calibration factors, totalizer resets, unit of measure,
analog and pulse output scaling, flow-alarm functions, language
selection, low-flow cutoff, noise dampening factor and excitation
frequency selection.
