M-Series® M2000

Connecting a Badger Meter Endpoint to the M2000

Application Brief

IAB-185-01-EN (August 2012)

OVERVIEW

This document describes the connection of a Badger Meter-
supplied endpoint (transmitter), such as an ORION® or GALAXY® 
RTR®, or Itron® 100WP or 60WP to an M2000 Mag Meter. 

QUICK SETUP FOR TOTALIZER AND FLOW UNIT

M2000 Front Panel Buttons

1. 

Navigate to 

Start Menu > Quick Setup

 > 

Flow Unit.

2. 

Select the desired unit of measurement.

3. 

Navigate to 

Start Menu > Quick Setup

 > 

Totalizer Unit

.

4. 

Select the desired unit of measurement.

PROGRAMMING THE M2000 FOR THE ENDPOINT

Programming for Output #1

1. 

Navigate to 

Start Menu >Main Menu

 > 

Inputs/Outputs

 > 

Digital Output 1

 >

Pulses/Unit

.

2. 

Select the desired values.

NOTE: 

If the Pulse/Unit value is too high, error 110 will display 
when you save. The Pulses/Unit and Full Scale Flow 
parameters are dependent values that cannot exceed  
10 kHz. To correct the error, decrease either or both of the 
Pulse/Unit and the Full Scale Flow values.

3. 

Navigate to 

Select Function > AMR (50 ms pulse)

.

4. 

Press 

E

 four times until the menu text is at 

Exit This Menu

 

to exit the programming.

Programming for Output #2

1. 

Navigate to 

Start Menu >Main Menu

 > 

Inputs/Outputs

 > 

Digital Output 2 

>

Pulses/Unit

.

2. 

Select the desired values.

3. 

Navigate to 

Start Menu >Main Menu

 > 

Inputs/Outputs

 > 

Digital Output 1

 >

Pulses/Width

.

4. 

Set the value to 0050 ms.

5. 

Press 

E

 four times until the menu text is at 

Exit This Menu

 

to exit the programming.

ADDITIONAL NOTES

If the M2000 displays a reading, it will be necessary to either 
program the endpoint to match the same reading on the M2000, 
or reset the totalizer(s). The M2000 has a separate 

Unit Multiplier

 

setting in the 

Advanced

 menu that establishes the resolution of the 

totalizer reading on the display. This multiplier displays a seven-digit 
reading and is set to OFF from the factory. The endpoint must be 
programmed to coincide with the value set in the 

Pulses/Unit

 and 

the 

Unit Multiplier

. For example, if the 

Unit Multiplier

 is set to 100 

and the 

Pulse/Unit

 is set to 0000000.010, the reading on the display 

would be 1234500 (the endpoint should be programmed to 12345).

To use the reading from the endpoint in the Reading Data 
Management Software, the correct Test Circle Code will also need 
to be added in the software. The Test Circle Code will depend on the 

Pulses/Unit

 that was programmed into the M2000. 

WIRING AN ORION OR GALAXY RTR ENDPOINT TO 

THE M2000

Use either Output #1 or #2 when connecting an endpoint to the 
M2000. Output #1 is the recommended option, as an AMR function 
exists that will make for easier programming.

To connect the endpoint to Output #1, connect the endpoint wires 
this way:

• 

Terminal 1: Red 

• 

Terminal 2: Black and Green

• 

Remove jumper JP1 (output #1)

To connect the endpoint to Output #2, connect the endpoint wires 
this way:

• 

Terminal 3: Red

• 

Terminal 4: Black and Green

• 

Remove jumper JP2 (output #2)

WIRING AN ITRON 100WP OR 60WP ENDPOINT TO 

THE M2000

To connect the endpoint to Output #1, connect the endpoint wires 
this way:

• 

Terminal 1: Red and White

• 

Terminal 2: Black

• 

Remove jumper JP1 (output #1)

To connect the endpoint to Output #2, connect the endpoint wires 
this way:

• 

Terminal 3: Red and white

• 

Terminal 4: Black

• 

Remove jumper JP2 (output #2)
