Battery-operated flowmeter withstands flooding

April 2005 Flow Measurement & Control

Battery-operated and dedicated to the potable water industry MAG 8000 W is designed for the potable water industry to optimise water supply and ensure correct billing. The instrument conforms to OIML R49 and delivers the performance, dependability and long life that should make it the watermeter of choice for applications that could include abstraction, water distribution, zone metering, revenue metering and irrigation.

The MAG 8000 W does not need mains power to operate. The internal battery pack and the minimised inlet and outlet requirements make installation of MAG 8000 W simple. The IP68/NEMA 6P enclosure withstands flooding in underground installation. Designed to give the best-in-class performance for leakage detection and precise billing, the internal sensor cone down delivers optimal low flow detection with insignificant pressure drop.

With its robust construction, it is built to resist environmental influence. No moving parts means less wear and tear and makes it resistant to solids and debris in the water. Its 6-year battery operation time in typical revenue applications minimises maintenance costs - and costs of ownership.

The flowmeter automatically stores intelligent information on water consumption and meter operation conditions. An integrated datalogger records data up to 26 months and alerts on too high or too low consumption. A graphic display and key provides simple access to data on-site and the build-in IrDA interface enables advanced data collection.
