Why are my Badger Meter Measuring Instruments showing inaccurate measurements?
If your Badger Meter Measuring Instruments show inaccurate measurements, first, check the parameters (detector factor and size) according to the supplied data sheet. Also, ensure the pipe is completely filled with fluid and that you purge the line to eliminate any air bubbles. Finally, verify the grounding and fix any problems.
What to do if flow is present but the Badger Meter Measuring Instruments display shows "0"?
If the flow is present but the display on your Badger Meter Measuring Instruments reads "0", there might be a few reasons. First, check the signal cable to ensure it's properly connected. It's also possible that the detector is mounted opposite to the main flow direction; in this case, turn the detector 180° or switch terminal E1 and E2 or reprogram to bidirectional mode. Another potential issue is that the coil or electrode cables are exchanged, so check those connections for cross wiring. Finally, the low flow cutoff or full-scale flow may be improper; try replacing the configuration defaults.
Why is the flow rate indication unstable on my Badger Meter Measuring Instruments?
If the flow rate indication on your Badger Meter Measuring Instruments is unstable, start by checking the cable to ensure it is shielded and not vibrating. Next, make sure the meter is properly grounded to a good earth ground. Also, confirm the pipe is full of fluid and that the fluid does not contain air bubbles. Finally, make sure the amplifier is not too close to sources of electrical interference and check for invalid fluid conductivity.
How to fix a wrong flow rate value on Badger Meter Measuring Instruments?
If the flow rate value on your Badger Meter Measuring Instruments is known to be wrong, check the detector factor value on the label. Also, inspect the electrodes and/or liner for deposits and remove them if present. Finally, verify the programmed pipe size to ensure it is correct.
Why is the display blank on my Badger Meter Measuring Instruments?
If your Badger Meter Measuring Instruments have a blank display, the most likely cause is a dead battery. Replace the battery to resolve this issue.
How to resolve multiple estimated flow occurrences on BEACON for Badger Meter Measuring Instruments connected to ORION® Cellular LTE endpoints?
To address multiple estimated flow occurrences for meters connected to ORION® Cellular LTE endpoints on your BEACON, add a 15K resistor to the M5000 terminal block.
