Measurement made easy
Introduction
AquaMaster 3TM is a range of high
performance electromagnetic flowmeters
for the measurement of electrically-
conductive fluids and is normally supplied
as factory-configured, calibrated systems.
This User Guide provides end-user details
for AquaMaster 3 close-coupled and remote
transmitters.
When the meter is taken out of storage and
installed for first use, remove the protective
label (if fitted) from the front to enable light
to activate the unit.
If the meter is not powered, connect any
batteries or external supply as detailed in
this manual.

1.4.1 Battery Hazard, Handling, Shipping and Recycling / Disposal
1.5 Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE)
WEEE EU Directives 2002/96/EC and 2003/108/EC cover disposal and recycling of electronic equipment
at the end of life for reasons of environmental protection. Not all products are covered by the categories in
this directive.
Permanent Industrial installations are not designated within this directive for recycling. At the point of supply
the intended use is not always known, so the WEEE symbol is included on all remote forms of the
AquaMaster transmitter.
Warning.
AquaMaster is available with choice of battery technologies; Manganese Alkaline (part no WABC2100) or
Lithium Thionyl Chloride (part no WABC2101 or WABC2102 or 'D' size cell). The following warnings
must be observed:
To ensure safety and correct operation, use only the batteries / battery packs listed in this manual
or approved by ABB.
Incorrect use or operation of batteries / battery packs may result in potentially serious hazards to
personnel.
DO NOT expose batteries / battery packs to fire or temperatures above 85 °C (185 °F) and DO
NOT crush or puncture – they may leak, explode or rupture violently.
DO NOT ship or transport the AquaMaster 3 Integral form with Lithium cells fitted unless the
following instruction is complied with:
–Transporting Lithium Batteries / Battery Packs or product containing Lithium batteries /
cells. These are classified in 'category UN3091 – Class 9' of the UN list of hazardous materials.
The transport of such cells / battery packs must conform to the prevailing rules that are specific
to the means of transport used, both in terms of packing, identification and accompanying
documents. The carrier must always be informed of the contents. A warning label 'Hazardous
Label for Class 9 – Miscellaneous Hazardous Goods' must be attached to the packing and
remain visible on the outside of the package.
DO NOT dispose of depleted or partially depleted batteries. They MUST be recycled in
accordance with local regulations (for example, sent to a specialist recycling centre that handles
such batteries). The battery or battery pack must be packed, labelled and transported in
accordance with the regulations. Ensure the battery cannot be short circuited.
Recycling in Europe must be in accordance with 91/157/EEC and 93/86/EEC Directives.
Damaged, leaking or overheated batteries require urgent specialist handling and treatment.
Immediately evacuate all personnel from the area and seek professional assistance.
For industrial installations, portable equipment is included. This means that when the AquaMaster
transmitter is used with a portable AquaProbe sensor, it is included in directive's scope and has
the WEEE symbol (left) on its data label. Therefore, at the end of life, contact the supplier for
specialist waste recycling. It must not be disposed of as municipal waste.

2.4 GSM-Equipped Transmitters
2.4.1 GSM Antenna Installation
Before deciding on an antenna mounting location, check that the local signal strength for the chosen
mobile phone network is satisfactory. Use the GSM-equipped transmitter's integral signal strength test
facility to establish signal strength. Refer to Programming Guide (COI/FET2XX–EN), Section 5.
If a GSM-equipped transmitter is not available, a standard mobile phone on the same network, positioned
as close as possible to the intended location, gives a good indication of local signal strength. For GSM and
logger download services, a minimum of 2 visible signal strength indicator 'bars' are recommended. For
SMS text, a minimum of 1 visible signal strength indicator 'bar' is recommended.
The following must also be observed when deciding on the antenna mounting location:
For best results, mount the antenna as high above local ground level as possible.
If the antenna must be mounted below ground, achieve optimum results by ensuring:
– there is a strong mobile phone network signal at ground level
– the antenna, mounted 50 mm (2 in.) below the chamber cover, must be plastic –
see Fig. 2.14, page 12
Ensure the antenna does not become submerged under water – see Fig. 2.14, page 12.
Metallic enclosures seriously degrade the signal. If an enclosure is used it must be non-metallic.
Do not mount the antenna closer than 50 mm (2 in.) to any solid wall or surface –
see Fig. 2.15, page 12.
Do not mount the antenna beneath a solid surface (for example, metal cover, floor / ceiling).
