Description 3.4 Benefits Irrigation Compact and remote versions. Figure 3-5 MAG 8000 Irrigation (compact version) Benefits ● Simple placement of the meter - bury the meter underground or in a floating chamber. The IP 68 (NEMA 6P) design is unaffected by meter position or in-line piping stresses, and there is no requirement for filters.
Installing/Mounting MAG 8000 water meters are suitable for indoor and outdoor installations. ● Make sure that pressure and temperature specifications indicated on the device nameplate / label are not exceeded. General information This chapter describes how to install the water meter in the compact version as well as in the remote version.
Installing/Mounting 4.1 Sensor installation Sensor installation The sensor installation consists of three steps: 1. Locating the sensor. 2. Orienting the sensor. 3. Mounting the sensor. 4.1.1 Locating the sensor Ensure that the sensor is located in the most optimum place and where no magnetic field is present.
Page 19
Installing/Mounting 4.1 Sensor installation Inlet and outlet condition To achieve most accurate flow measurement it is essential to have certain straight inlet and outlet pipe lengths as shown (D : sensor diameter). MAG 8000 CT is approved for installation with 0D of straight pipe upstream from the sensor and 0D of straight pipe downstream from the sensor.
Installing/Mounting 4.1 Sensor installation Partially filled pipes For partially filled pipes or pipes with downwards flow and free outlet, sensor must be mounted in a U-tube. 4.1.2 Orienting the sensor MAG 8000 CT DN 50 to DN 150 can be installed in all orentations, while DN 200 to DN 400 can only be installed horizontally.
Page 21
Installing/Mounting 4.1 Sensor installation Vertical pipes (MAG 8000) Recommended installation is in a vertical/inclined pipe to minimize wear and deposits in sensor. Installation in large pipes (MAG 8000) The water meter can be installed between two reducers (e.g. DIN 28545). With an 8°...
Installing/Mounting 4.1 Sensor installation Example: A flow velocity of 3 m/s (10 ft./sec.) (V) in a sensor with a diameter reduction from DN 100 to DN 80 (4" to 3") (d = 0.8) gives a pressure drop of 2.9 mbar (0.04 psi). 4.1.3 Mounting the sensor 1.

Installing/Mounting 4.1 Sensor installation All values are theoretical and are calculated on the assumption that: ● All bolts are new and material selection is according to EN 1515-1 table 2. ● Gasket material not exceeding 75 shore A is used between the water meter and mating flanges.
Installing/Mounting 4.3 Grounding Potential equalization Liquid potential equalization or grounding is accomplished with built-in grounding electrodes and/or grounding rings. The electrodes ensure electrical connection between liquid and meter providing a stable and accurate measurement. ① ② Built-in grounding electrode Grounding rings pre-mounted on (7ME6810 and 7ME6820) MAG 8000 Irrigation (7ME6880) Grounding...

Qualification certificate The qualification certificate is an enhancement of the PDM tool which enables printing of a MAG 8000 status report using the MAG 8000 IrDA communication port and the MODBUS RTU protocol. Note Scope The MAG 8000 Qualification Certificate is a qualification report of device functionality and NOT a tool for measurement accuracy verification like the MAG VERIFICATOR (FDK-083F5060 or FDK-083F5061).
Qualification certificate B.2 Enabling insulation test Enabling insulation test The insulation test must be carried out on the advance version of the MAG 8000 or MAG 8000 CT before generating the Qualification Certificate. The procedures for enabling the insulation test are shown below. Set "Insulation test enable"...
