METER ORIENTATION
Magnetoflow Mag Meters can operate accurately in
any pipe line orientation.
However, the most recommended installation position
is vertical piping, with the the liquid flowing upward.
This installation practice ensures two objectives:
· The pipe remains completely full of liquid, even at
low flow, low pressure applications with a discharge to
the atmosphere.
· Solid build-ups or sediments that could be part of the
process fluid will not deposit or accumulate on the liner
and/or electrodes.
The model 7500S meter is designed to measure flow in
one direction only. Carefully observe the "forward
flow" label attached to the meter body and install
the meter accordingly.
If horizontal piping orientation is required, the detector
should be mounted in a position at which the electrodes
axis will remain in an horizontal plane (3 and 9 o’clock
position; see figure below).
PIPING CONFIGURATION
Appropriate piping arrangements should be provided to
ensure the meter is not exposed to extreme pipe vibra-
tions. The piping arrangements should include appro-
priate pipe supports.
For optimum accuracy performance, it is required to
provide sufficient inlet and outlet straight pipe runs. An
equivalent of 3 diameters of straight pipe is required on
the inlet side of the meter, and 2 diameters on the outlet
side, measured from the center of the meter body.
Avoid installing the detector close to flow disturbance
generating valves and fittings.
Do not install the detector in the outlet side of Piston or
Diaphragm type pumps. Avoid all pipe locations where
the flow is pulsating. Avoid installing the detector in the
suction side of any pumps; possible creation of vacuum
can affect meter performance or cause damage to the
PTFE liner.
TEMPERATURE
Note: Environmental temperature of installation is not
to exceed maximum specification of 122°F (50°) for the
meter.

UNPACKING AND INSPECTION
To avoid damage in transit, Badger meters are shipped
to the customer in a special shipping container. Upon
receipt of the meter, perform the following unpacking
and inspection procedures. If damage to the shipping
container is evident, be present when the meter is
unpacked.
A. Carefully open the shipping container following any
instructions that may be marked on the container.
Remove all cushioning material surrounding the meter
and carefully lift meter from container. Retain the con-
tainer and all packing material for possible use in
reshipment or storage.
B. Visually inspect the meter for any physical damage
such as scratches, loose or broken parts, or any other
sign of damage that may have occurred during ship-
ment.
NOTE: If damage is found, request an inspection by the
carrier's agent within 48 hours of delivery. Then file a
claim with the carrier. A claim for equipment damaged
in transit is the responsibility of the customer.
STORAGE
If the meter is not to be installed right away, store it in
it's original container in a dry, sheltered location. Stor-
age temperature: -4 to 158°F (-20 to +70°C)
