User Manual

SCOPE OF THIS MANUAL

This manual contains installation and operation procedures for the Badger Meter® next generation E-Series G2® 5/8 x 3/4 inch Ultrasonic meters Proper performance and reliability of the product depend upon installation in accordance with these instructions.

ABOUT THE E-SERIES ULTRASONIC METER

The E-Series Ultrasonic meter uses solid-state technology in a compact, tamper-protected, weatherproof, and UV-resistant housing, suitable for residential applications Electronic metering provides information—such as rate of flow and status and alarm indication—and data not typically available through traditional, mechanical meters and registers Electronic metering minimizes measurement errors due to sand, suspended particles, and pressure fluctuations Meters can be installed using horizontal or vertical piping, with water flow in the up direction The meter will not measure flow when an “empty pipe” condition is experienced An empty pipe, is defined as a condition that occurs when the flow sensors are not fully submerged

Operation

As water flows into the measuring tube, ultrasonic signals are sent consecutively in forward and reverse directions of flow Velocity is then determined by measuring the time difference between the measurement in the forward and reverse directions Total volume is calculated from the measured flow velocity using water temperature and pipe diameter The LCD screen toggles to display total volume and unit of measure, rate of flow, alarm and operating mode, and firmware version E-Series Ultrasonic meters connected to ORION® endpoints also display temperature data and water pressure data (when equipped with an optional integrated pressure sensor)

Applications

E-Series Ultrasonic meters measure potable cold water in residential applications The meter is also ideal for non-potable, reclaimed irrigation water applications, or less than optimum water conditions where small particles exist E-Series Ultrasonic meters meet and exceed ANSI/AWWA C715 Standards The lead-free bronze alloy meters comply with the lead-free provisions of the Safe Drinking Water Act and NSF/ANSI Standards 61 and 372

Construction

The E-Series Ultrasonic meter features lead-free bronze alloy meter housing, ultrasonic transducers, a meter-control circuit board with associated wiring, LCD and battery Wetted elements are limited to the pressure vessel and transducers The electronic components are housed and fully potted within a molded, engineered polymer enclosure, which is attached to the meter housing The transducers extend through the housing and are sealed by O-rings, enabling turbulence-free water flow through the tube The open flow tube design prevents obstruction of flow to reduce pressure loss and provide long-term accuracy

REMOVING A METER

WARNING
DEPRESSURIZE THE LINE BEFORE STARTING ANY DISASSEMBLY OPERATION. REMOVING A METER THAT IS UNDER LINE PRESSURE CAN RESULT IN COMPONENTS BECOMING PROJECTILES, CAPABLE OF CAUSING PERSONAL INJURY.

METER OPERATING MODES

The E-Series Ultrasonic meter automatically moves through storage and transition mode into active mode based on water flow:

• Storage Mode
  E-Series Ultrasonic meters are delivered in storage mode so that a meter alarm is not triggered In storage mode, the meter LCD displays the empty pipe icon on the consumption screen, an empty pipe code on the alarm screen (but no alarm code is sent to the endpoint) and – – – F (or – – – C) on the temperature screen

• Transition Mode
  When the meter senses water in the pipe, it moves into transition mode In transition mode, the meter displays water consumption and sends a reading to the endpoint, if connected After sensing a full pipe for 24 hours, the meter transitions to active mode
  NOTE: If a meter senses an empty pipe in transition mode, the meter goes back into storage mode until water triggers the process to start again

• Active Mode
  Meter is operating normally If the meter is in active mode and detects an empty pipe, the water temperature displays ErrF (or EMC)
  For more information see “Temperature Screen*” and “Alarm and Operating Mode Screen” on page 11.

INSTALLATION

Outdoor Installations
When installed outdoors in a meter box, the E-Series Ultrasonic meter should have a 2…3 inch clearance to avoid damage or strain to the service piping or meter and to accommodate any settling that may occur after installation Make sure the service pipe in the meter box is properly bedded so that it is not axially misaligned and that it lays evenly on the bottom of the pipe trench Place the backfill material covering the pipe appropriately to maintain pipe alignment in the event of eventual ground shifts This will prevent damage to the pipe Protect the service lines and the water meter from freezing The earth covering the service line must be adequate to prevent frost penetration Due to the smaller volume of water, service line pipes will freeze sooner than the main distribution line Excavate the meter box pit below the frost line Even though the meter itself may be positioned above the frost line, the warmer air rising from the earth below the frost line will reduce the possibility of freezing

Indoor Installations

As a precautionary measure when working with metallic pipes, check indoor settings for electrical continuity through the service pipe before you remove or service a meter American Water Works Association (AWWA) policy specifies that service pipes must not be used as an electrical ground. Check your local codes and practices A permanent ground strap or metal setter must be used if electrical grounding to water services is required in your community.
To prevent floor damage, close the valve downstream from the meter before installing or removing a meter.

CAUTION

• DO NOT ATTEMPT TO USE ANY METER AS A LEVER OR CROWBAR TO STRAIGHTEN A MISALIGNED METER POSITION. THIS COULD DAMAGE THE METER.

• TO AVOID POTENTIAL PROBLEMS, CORRECT ANY IRREGULARITIES IN PIPE SPACING AND MISALIGNMENT BEFORE PLACING THE METER INTO ITS POSITION.
  

• METERS MUST OPERATE IN A COMPLETELY FILLED LINE AT ALL TIMES. THE DOWNSTREAM PIPING MUST ALWAYS BE ARRANGED TO PROVIDE SUFFICIENT BACK PRESSURE TO MAINTAIN A FULL LINE AT THE METER. BY ELIMINATING AIR IN THE LINE, AS WELL AS SUDDEN FLOW SURGES, INACCURATE REGISTRATION, AND DAMAGE TO THE METER CAN BE AVOIDED.
  

Pre-Installation

Take into account the following considerations before you begin an E-Series Ultrasonic meter installation:

• Inspect the piping around the meter for suitable conditions The service line, valves, connections, and meter must be watertight Repair the piping system if pipes are corroded or damaged
• Install the meter in the pipeline in a horizontal or vertical position so that the flow arrow on the meter housing points in the same direction as water flow Registration should be upright and protected from damage, freezing, and tampering
• Verify meters are correctly programmed
• Position the meter so it is accessible for installation, removal, and reading
• The line opening for the meter should match the lay length of the meter, allowing slight additional space for coupling gaskets The inlet and outlet sides of the meter should be axially aligned to the pipe
• The installed meter must not be an obstacle or a hazard to the customer or interfere with public safety
• To avoid cavitation, always install control valves downstream of the meter Never install the meter on a pump suction side
• Consider maximum flow rates when sizing and selecting the appropriate meter for the application
• Pump discharge should never be installed in proximity of the meter
• Externally weighted check valves and pressure-reducing devices should not be located in proximity to the meter

Installation Instructions

1. Begin at this step when cutting in for new service When cutting in is not required, begin at step 2
   • Close the curb (shutoff) valve to relieve water pressure in the line before starting the cutting operation Provide a high-quality upstream shutoff valve with a low-pressure drop
   • Flush the pipe to clear chips, pipe dope, or other plumbing residues

2. Close the meter inlet-side valve

3. Open a faucet and wait until the water flow stops to depressurize the system Do not remove the meter until the flow stops
   WARNING DEPRESSURIZE THE LINE BEFORE STARTING ANY DISASSEMBLY OPERATION. REMOVING A METER THAT IS UNDER LINE PRESSURE CAN RESULT IN COMPONENTS BECOMING PROJECTILES, CAPABLE OF CAUSING PERSONAL INJURY.

4. Check valves and make necessary repairs to the curb (shutoff) valve or inlet side valve if necessary

5. Before installing or removing a meter, close the outlet-side valve to relieve pressure Protect the area around the meter against potential spills or leaks that could occur

6. To replace an existing meter continue with step 7 To install a new meter skip to step 9

7. Loosen the meter coupling nuts or flange bolts, and remove the meter and old gaskets

8. Clean the coupling nuts or flange bolts, removing any pipe dope or dirt

9. Check the existing position for proper alignment and spacing Correct any misalignment or spacing issues

10. Place the connection gaskets inside the connection coupling nuts

11. Install the meter in the pipeline in a horizontal or vertical position with the flow arrow on the meter pointing in the direction of flow Registration should be uprightFor 5/8…1 in. Threaded Ends
    • Start the coupling nuts at the threaded meter ends Verify that the nuts are properly aligned to avoid cross-threading or damage to the meter ends
    • An effective method for starting a coupling nut is:
    1. Position the nut squarely against the meter’s spud end
    2. Turn the nut counterclockwise (in reverse) while holding the nut against the meter spud end When the first threads on both the nut and the spud end coincide, you will hear a slight click and feel the nut move into the starting position
    3. Tighten the nut by hand until it is tight
    4. With an open-end wrench, apply a partial turn Do not over tighten For plastic swivel connections, a one-quarter turn beyond hand-tight is usually sufficient

12. After the meter is installed, slowly open the inlet shutoff valve until the meter is full of water and ensure there are no leaks (The more flow you allow through the meter, appropriate for the meter size, the better ) Take caution when opening the inlet valve to avoid damage to the pressure sensor due to extreme water hammer.

13. Slowly open the outlet valve until the air is out of the meter and the service line

14. Slowly open a service valve downstream of the meter and verify that no foreign debris in the water obstructs the operation of the system

15. Check the read on the meter to make sure it is registering a positive number If it is not, make sure the meter is installed in the correct direction
    • The meter is shipped in storage mode so that customers do not experience alarms during shipment or installation After properly purged of air, and the meter senses a full pipe, it may take up to 30 seconds to begin measurement
    • The meter itself does not require a quantity of flow to begin measurement The meter just requires that the pipe is cleared of air and filled with water If attempting to purge the meter at low flow rates, it would likely be more difficult and take longer

16. When the meter starts recording positive flow, note the reading for your records
