Badger PFT 2e Transmitter

Models FT-1E, Electronic Unscaled
Pulse Transmitters
Technical
PFT-2E & PFT-3E
Brief
GENERAL
The models FT-1E, PFT-2E and PFT-3E are electronic trans-
mitters which have unscaled pulse outputs for use with Badger
Meter's line of industrial turbo, disc, and oscillating piston flow
meters. (See transmitter selection chart below.)
These transmitters incorporate magnetoresistive sensors

with open collector NPN transistor outputs. They will interface
with Badger's PC100 controller as well as other devices that
have similar operating characteristics.
This style of electronic transmitter offers improved perfor-

mance over mechanical transmitters by elimination of me-
chanical coupling to the meter in addition to providing the
higher reliability and resolution of solid-state components.
OPERATION
The interaction between the unscaled transmitter and the
4-pole meter magnet generates four pulses for each revolution
of the magnet, which will rotate a precise number of times for
a given quantity of fluid passing through the meter.
PFT-2E Transmitter
Table 2 lists the transmitter output, expressed in pulses per
ounce and pulses per gallon, for the various types and sizes FEATURES
of meters that you could use with these transmitters.
•Long-life, all solid-state components
These output pulses are normally fed to a process controller
that can multiply these pulses by a number between 0.0001 •Rugged, high impact resistant enclosure for
and 0.9999 (the scale factor), which will express the output PFT-2E and PFT-3E
pulses as standard engineering units of measure such as 1,
10 or 100 pulses per gallon, liter or quart. •Stainless steel cover (FT-1E only)
Badger's PC100 electronic batch controller and ER-8 and ER-9 •High temperature rating: 250° F.
registers have the ability to perform this scaling function.
•Corrosion resistant components
•Watertight - NEMA 4X housing (PFT-2E and

PFT-3E)
