Electrical Installation
ELECTRICAL INSTALLATION
All connections to the Model 340N2 transmitter are made to
screw terminals on removable headers.
Power Supply Wiring
The Model 340N2 transmitter requires 12…24 volts AC or DC
to operate. The power connections are made to the ORANGE
header. The connections are labeled beside the header.
Observe the polarity shown on the label.
If a Badger Meter plug in type power supply (Model A-1026 or
A-1028) is used, connect the black/white striped wire to the
terminal marked positive (+) and the black wire to the terminal
marked negative (–).

OTE:N Included with every Model 340N2 transmitter is a
Model 340N2IK kit containing a screw, lockwasher
and ground lead to connect the transmitter to earth
ground. Connect the earth ground lug of
the Model 340N2 transmitter to a solid earth
ground with as short a wire as possible. This will
help prevent electrical interference from affecting
normal operation.

Sensor Wiring
All flow sensor types connect to the four terminal header
labeled “Sensor Input”.
Series 200
Connect the red wire to sensor signal (+), black wire to sensor
signal (–) and the bare wire to shield. See Figure 6.
SDI Series (standard pulse output option)
Connect SDI number 3 sensor signal to the Model 340N2
transmitter sensor signal (+) and the SDI number 2 sensor
common terminal to Model 340N2 transmitter sensor signal
(–). Connect the shield terminal of the SDI sensor to the shield
terminal of the Model 340N2 transmitter.

Other Sensors
The sensor input Power Out terminal supplies nominal 12V DC excitation voltage for three wire sensors. Connect sensor signal
+ and sensor signal – wires to transmitter terminals.
OTE:N The green input LED toggles on and off as sensor pulses are received. With no flow input the LED will remain in its last
state (either on or off).
