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 commercial applications. The ultrasonic measurement system has no moving parts, provides long-term accuracy and minimizes measurement errors due to sand, suspended particles, air pockets and pressure fluctuations. The registration electronics and battery are encapsulated to withstand harsh environments and protect the electronics in flooded or submerged pit applications. 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 when the flow sensors are not fully submerged. E-Series Ultrasonic meters meet and exceed AWWA C715 and the most recent revision of AWWA C750 Standards. The lead-free bronze alloy meters comply with the lead-free provisions of the Safe Drinking Water Act and NSF/ANSI/CAN Standards 61 and 372. E-Series Ultrasonic meters also conform to UL 327B and FM 1044 for fire service applications. 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 provides long-term accuracy. 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 shows total volume, unit of measure, rate of flow, pressure, temperature, firmware and alarm conditions (reverse-flow, no usage, empty pipe, exceeding max flow, suspected leak, pressure, temperature, end of life, and measurement error). REQUIREMENTS IMPORTANT For proper handling of the higher reading resolution and the extended status indicator capabilities of the E-Series Ultrasonic meter, the following are recommended to support the full capabilities of the meter. · ORION® Cellular LTE endpoints, firmware version 1.10.1193 or later · BEACON® software suite For assistance, please contact Badger Meter Technical Support at 800-616-3837 or the appropriate endpoint provider.

Page 4 ESM-UM-02782-EN-12 December 2021 Meter Operating Modes METER OPERATING MODES The 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 an 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, if connected to an endpoint, sends a reading to the endpoint. 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, water temperature displays ErrF (or ErrC). For more information, see "Temperature Screen*" and "Alarm and Operating Mode Screen" on page 10. SAFETY INFORMATION The installation of the E-Series Ultrasonic meter must comply with all applicable federal, state and local rules, regulations and codes. Failure to read and follow these instructions can lead to misapplication or misuse of the meter, resulting in personal injury and damage to equipment. PRODUCT UNPACKING AND INSPECTION To avoid damage in transit, meters are shipped to the customer in special shipping containers. Upon receipt of shipment, be sure to follow these unpacking and inspection procedures: If damage to a shipping container is evident upon receipt of a meter, request that a representative of the carrier be present when the meter is unpacked. · 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 the meter from the container. Keep the container and all packing material for possible use in reshipment or storage. · Visually inspect the meter and applicable accessory devices for any signs of damage such as scratches, loose or broken parts or other physical damage that may have occurred during shipment. 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. Rigging, Lifting and Moving Large Units · DO NOT lift or move a meter by the electronics, lid or cables. · Use a crane rigged with soft straps to lift and move the meters. Place the straps around the meter body, between the flanges, on each side of the electronics. · Use the sling-rigged method to lift large meters into a vertical position while they are still crated. Use this method to position while they are still crated. Use this method to position large meters vertically into pipelines. · DO NOT lift a meter with a forklift by positioning the meter body on the forks, with the flanges extending beyond the lift. This could dent the housing or damage the internal components. NEVER place forklift forks, rigging chains, straps, slings, hooks or other lifting devices inside or through the meter flow tube to hoist the unit. This could damage the internal components. December 2021 ESM-UM-02782-EN-12 Page 5 Installation INSTALLATION · 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. · A minimum of 5 pipe diameters of straight, unobstructed pipe is recommended upstream of the meter. · Do not install check valves or pressure reducing devices within 5 pipe diameters upstream of the meter. · Only fully open gate or ball valves should be used immediately upstream of the meter. Butterfly valves must be 5 pipe diameters or more upstream of the meter. Fully open gate, ball or butterfly valves can be used downstream. NOTE: A partially opened gate or ball valve, or butterfly valve installed immediately upstream of the meter could adversely affect meter accuracy. · A service saddle (or reducing tee) should be at least 2 pipe diameters downstream of the meter outlet flange. · Unweighted check valves should not be located closer than 3 pipe diameters downstream of the meter. · Pump discharge should be installed at least 5 pipe diameters upstream of the meter. · Externally weighted check valves and pressure reducing devices should be located no closer than 5 pipe diameters of the meter. · The meter is designed so that a strainer is not required. If installing a strainer, it is recommended that it be installed a minimum of 5 pipe diameters upstream of the meter in order to maximize the accuracy of your measurements. · During meter replacement, if there is already a strainer installed immediately upstream, to attain the highest accuracy capabilities, consider moving the strainer downstream of the meter or further upstream. · If you are using a strainer that is a size smaller than the pipe installation, 5 diameters of pipe is required in order to reduce the effect of jetting caused by increase in flow velocity. Additional length is required if a sharp contraction or an eccentric reducer is used, rather than a concentric, tapered reducer. · To allow for the dampening of velocity profile distortions, elbow (90°) configurations should be installed a minimum of five pipe diameters upstream the meter and/or downstream the meter. Where spiral flows are created by three-dimensional elbows or rotary pumps, additional downstream distance to dampen the effect is beneficial. Page 6 ESM-UM-02782-EN-12 December 2021 Installation By-pass (Permanent or Temporary) Minimum of 5 Diameters of Straight Pipe Valve Upstream (open) Minimum of 5 Pipe Diameters Downstream of Meter Test Tee Upstream Downstream Badger Meter Plate Strainer and Meter Coupling Adaptor Service Saddle Shutoff Valve Figure 4: Recommended meter installation Installation Instructions 1. Start at this step when cutting in for new service. When cutting in is not required, start 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 residue. 2. Close the meter inlet-side valve. 3. Open a faucet and wait until water flow stops to depressurize the system. Do not remove the meter until the flow stops. 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 flange bolts and remove the meter and old gaskets. 8. Clean the flange bolts, removing any pipe dope or dirt from the bolts. 9. Check the existing position for proper alignment and spacing. Correct any misalignment or spacing issues. 10. 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 upright. With meter and gaskets in place, tighten the flange connection bolts. Verify the nuts are properly aligned to avoid damage to the flanged ends. 11. 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. 12. Slowly open the outlet valve until air is out of the meter and service line. 13. Open a service valve downstream of the meter and verify that no foreign debris in the water obstructs the operation of the system. 14. 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 the customer is attempting to purge the meter at low flow rates, it would likely be more difficult and take longer. 15. When the meter starts recording positive flow, note the reading for your records. December 2021 ESM-UM-02782-EN-12 Page 7 Accuracy Test ACCURACY TEST The E-Series Ultrasonic meters are accuracy tested at the factory before shipment. However, the meters can be tested for accuracy in the field using appropriate connections by running output flow through the NPT test port, if so equipped. Refer to the Portable Large Meter Tester Application Data Sheet (TST-AS-01297-EN), available at badgermeter.com, for accuracy testing instructions using a test meter. When sealing the test plug, hand tighten plus 7/8 to 1-1/2 turns. If further sealing is needed, tighten incrementally, but use caution to avoid over-tightening which may result in damage to the test port. WARNING IF THE TEST PORT IS TO BE USED, SHUT OFF FLUID SUPPLY AND RELEASE PRESSURE BEFORE SERVICING OR MAKING A PLUMBING CONNECTION. FAILURE TO DO SO CAN LEAD TO PLUG BEING EJECTED FROM HOUSING, CAUSING PERSONAL INJURY AND/OR PROPERTY DAMAGE. OPERATIONS Display E-Series Ultrasonic meters use a 9-digit Liquid Crystal Display (LCD) that toggles to show consumption, rate of flow, temperature, pressure, alarm and operating mode, and firmware version. When configured for dual outputs, the scaled output and 4-20 mA screens are also available. Indicator and alarm icons appear in the display as symbols that illuminate when the condition is active. See "Meter Alarms" on page 14 for alarm duration. Lines Indicate Black/White Number Wheels Unit of Measure Activating the Display Indicators/Alarms Flow Rate Figure 5: E-Series Ultrasonic Meter LCD The display illuminates when the register cover is opened. You can change the display screen by touching the optical communication port in the center of the register face (Figure 6) or by closing and opening the meter lid. The display reverts to sleep mode after a period of inactivity. See "Display Screens" on page 9 for Information about each screen. Optical communication port Figure 6: Meter, lid open, showing optical communication port Flow Direction The direction of water flow is noted on the face of the electronics housing and cast into the meter housing. Page 8 ESM-UM-02782-EN-12 December 2021 Operations Display Screens Total Consumption Screen The total consumption screen shows all nine digits, including leading zeroes and a decimal point. The displayed value is the sum of the forward flow minus the reverse flow. The display also includes indicator lines above and below the digits to represent the typical utility meter reading (electronic equivalent of white and black number wheels on mechanical registers). Unit of measure and resolution are factory programmed for the meter. Options are gallons, cubic feet and cubic meters. For manual reading purposes, the segmented lines above and below the numeric digits represent the visual billing units. The number of segmented lines are factory programmed for typical billing units. Billing unit dashed lines can be reprogrammed over display digits 1...7 using the Badger Meter Product Configuration Utility software. For example, a register measuring gallons can have billing units down to the nearest 10 gallons. 3, 4 inch meters: Totalized flow displays up to 100 million gallons with a resolution of 0.1 gallons, 10 million cubic feet with a resolution of 0.01 cubic feet, or one million cubic meters with a resolution of 0.001 cubic meter. 6, 8 inch meters: Totalized flow displays up to 1 billion gallons with a resolution of 1 gallon; 100 million cubic feet with a resolution of 0.1 cubic feet; or 10 million cubic meters with a resolution of 0.01 cubic meter. 3, 4 inch Gallons 6, 8 inch Meter reading to the nearest? 10th gallon = Typical Billing Units 1 gallon = 10 gallons = 100 gallons = 1000 gallons = 12345678.9 12345678 1234567 123456 12345 Meter reading to the nearest?

The LCD shows both the unit of measure and rate of flow. The rate of flow screen also serves as the flow indicator. The rate of flow display is shown without leading zeros. When the rate of flow screen is displayed, it is updated every two seconds. Figure 7: Rate of flow screen Pressure Screen* Displays current water pressure. The pressure sensor is rated to a maximum psi of 150. If the maximum operating pressure is exceeded, P 999 PSI (or P 99.9 bAr) displays until pressure is back within the specified range. If the pressure sensor is damaged, P Err PSI (or P Err bAr) will display. NOTE: Meters operating above 175 psi are operating outside approved specifications. *When used in conjunction with ORION Cellular LTE-M or LTE endpoints, pressure data and alarms are sent as part of the encoder message and surfaced in BEACON SaaS. Temperature Screen* Displays current water and ambient temperature. If the meter is in active mode and detects an empty pipe, water temperature displays ErrF (or ErrC). If the meter is in storage mode and detects an empty pipe, water temperature displays F (or C). Ambient temperature is displayed in all modes. Water temperature is not reported in storage mode. Temperature data begins reporting in transition mode when there is a full pipe. *When used in conjunction with ORION Cellular LTE-M or LTE endpoints, temperature data is sent as part of the encoder message and surfaced in BEACON SaaS. Alarm and Operating Mode Screen Displays alarm condition and meter operating mode. This screen is only visible in active mode if an alarm is detected.

It is also available with a flying lead for field splice connection. The in-line connector is recommended for pit applications. Dual Output The E-Series Ultrasonic meter is also available with dual outputs. The following dual output options are available: · Encoder and encoder · Encoder and 4-20 mA · Encoder and scaled/unscaled · Scaled/unscaled and 4-20 mA Scaled Output · Scaled output is a switch closure output defined as: red wire = positive, black wire = negative. · Scaled output from the register has a default resolution 1/10th of the register test circle (resolution may vary in some cases). · The nominal pulse output width is programmable from 30...100 msec. · This pulse output is compatible with most totalizers and batch controllers. Unscaled Output · Unscaled output is a switch closure output defined as: green wire = positive, black wire = negative · This pulse output is compatible with most totalizers and batch controllers. Analog Output · The flow rate measurement is converted to a standard 4-20 mA control signal. · This signal is proportional to the flow of fluid passing through the flow meter. · The 4-20 mA output is isolated when paired with scaled/unscaled output. · Power for the device can be obtained from a 9...50V DC control loop.

Alarms are displayed for the number of days listed in the table below. Alarms also appear as 3-character codes on the alarm and operating mode screen. See "Alarm and Operating Mode Screen" on page 10 and "Alarm Codes" on page 15. Alarms are sent as part of the encoder message to AMR/AMI systems that are capable of receiving an extended message, such as ORION Cellular, Fixed Network (SE) and Migratable (ME) endpoints. The details can also be read through an IR interface. NOTE: Meters are delivered in storage mode so that an alarm is not triggered. In storage mode, the meter LCD displays an empty pipe icon, but no error code is sent to the endpoint. For alarms reported within BEACON, refer to BEACON Help at beaconama.net.
