Badger Meter Series 228PV PVC Tee Flow Meters (1.5”, 2”, 3”, 4”)
Description
Badger Meter non-magnetic flow sensors provide an accurate reading of the rate of liquid flow and total accumulated flow. The available sensor models cover applications for a wide range of pipe sizes and pressure/temperature specifications.
The flow sensors generate a frequency proportional to flow rate. An internal preamplifier allows the pulse signal to travel up to 2000 feet (610 meters) without further amplification. Power to operate the sensor is provided by the flow monitor. The impeller bearing assembly, shaft and O-rings are replaceable in the field.
Badger Meter flow sensors feature a closed, six-bladed impeller design, using a proprietary, non-magnetic sensing technology. The forward-swept impeller shape provides higher, more constant torque than four-bladed impeller designs, and is less prone to fouling by water-borne debris. The forward-curved shape, coupled with the absence of magnetic drag, provides improved operation and repeatability, even at lower flow rates. As the liquid flow turns the impeller, a low impedance signal is transmitted with a frequency proportional to the flow rate.
Sensors of similar type are interchangeable, so there is no need for recalibration after servicing or replacement.

Wiring
Badger Meter | Verdi Junction Box |
Black wire connects to → | GND (Pin 1 or Pin 3) |
Red wire connects to → | S1 (Pin 4) |
Note: add a jumper wire to connect pin 4 and 5
Route the cable from the sensor to a Badger Meter flow monitor/endpoint . The cable may be extended up to 2000 feet (610 meters), using 2-conductor shielded 20 AWG (or larger) stranded copper wire. Be sure to leave enough flexibility in the cable or conduit to allow for future service of the sensor.
