Industrial Flow Sensor Series 4000
Impeller PVC & PVDF Ultra Pure Water Pulse & Analog
DESCRIPTION
The Series 4000 flow sensor is an in-line, flow-through design using
a tangential six bladed impeller.
The Badger Meter® Series 4000 is available in 1/2", 3/4", and 1" pipe
sizes and is molded of PVC or PVDF materials. The compact design
allows the Series 4000 to replace old style magnetic sensors with
little or no piping changes.
The proprietary non-magnetic detection circuit is available with
two output: a low impedance 3-wire 5 volt DC square wave
signal (that can be pulled up to 20 volts) capable of traveling
up to 2000 feet without amplification, or a 2-wire loop powered
4-20 mA current analog signal. These two signal formats are
compatible with most data acquisition or PLC equipment.
Badger Meter also manufactures digital displays, scalers,
transmitters, and control relays for use with the Series 4000.
PVDF versions are compatible with all PVDF piping systems
including SYGEF, KYNAR, SUPER PROLINE, and SANITECH. Adapters
are available for use with other plastic or metallic piping systems.

PRODUCT FEATURES
•t

4-20 mA Analog output programmable in field.

•t

Low Flow capabilities: Enhanced versions can accurately
measure flow rates as low as 0.25 FPS.

•t

Flow detection electronics can be serviced or replaced without
opening the pipe. No exposure to wetted parts.

•t

Impeller bearings and shaft can be easily replaced without
removing the sensor from the pipe.

•t

Documented operating service life in high temperature ultrapure water. Over 40 months of continuous 24 hr/day operation.

•t

Superior particle-shedding performance verified by
independent laboratory testing. Particle sizes from 0.1 micron
to 1.0 micron representing “on wafer” metallic contamination
(ELYMAT) and liquid-born particles were monitored.

•t

CE tested and approved by independent laboratory.
