If the monitor is a replacement, the K-factor of the flow sensor has changed, or the monitor is being used with some other
pulse generating device, programming is necessary.
Programming Using Frequency Output Flow Sensors
Each Badger Meter flow sensor is shipped with either a K-factor value or frequency data. If frequency data is provided, the
data must be converted to a K-factor before programming the monitor. The K-factor represents the number of pulses per
unit of volume. See Connecting the ER-500 Monitor to a Pulse Output Device on page 7. The K-factor is needed to program
the monitor.
