Function and system design
Measuring principle Following Faraday's law of magnetic induction, a voltage is induced in a conductor moving through a
magnetic field.
In the electromagnetic measuring principle, the flowing medium is the moving conductor.
The voltage induced is proportional to the flow velocity and is supplied to the amplifier via two measuring
electrodes. The flow volume is calculated via the pipe cross-sectional area. The DC magnetic field is created
through a switched direct current of alternating polarity.

GSM/GPRS communication Wireless GSM/GPRS transmission of information
Data can be transmitted to and from the measuring device via wireless communication. Ideal for
applications in which the measuring point is installed in a remote location, making tasks like reading
counters very time-consuming activities.
As it is possible to configure limit value monitoring with alarms signaled by e-mail or SMS, operators
can respond specifically to local changes:
• SMS: receive alarms, query totalizer counter readings, change the device configuration etc.
• E-mail: The data saved by the data logger are sent by e-mail in a defined period of time (e.g. once a
day). A CSV-file is attached to the e-mail.
E-mails can only be sent to an SMTP server that does not require a password and user name. Port
25 normally fulfills these criteria.
This must be verified by your e-mail provider.
It is important to ensure that the signal of the mobile communications network is strong enough
to enable the system to dial into the GPRS/GSM network.
Mobile communications network (GSM: Global System for Mobile Communications )
Data can be transmitted via a mobile communications network with the GSM/GPRS modem. The
modem can be configured as a point-to-point connection or as a modem that can be openly accessed
via the Internet/intranet.
A SIM card from a mobile communications provider is required for the GSM/GPRS mode.
The communication is established via the data channel of the SIM card.
Additional activation might be required for this card depending on the GSM/GPRS provider.
The SIM card must be activated for GPRS operation.

GPRS support
GPRS (General Packet Radio Services) is a mobile communications technology that takes advantage of
the benefits afforded by packageoriented data transmission and channel bundling.
In contrast to normal connections, an entire channel is not reserved for the duration of the connection
between the mobile device and the base station when transmitting data via GPRS. Instead, the data are
grouped into data packets which can be transmitted depending on the requirements and capacity.
Higher transmission rates are possible with packet-based data transmission. This allows the
measuring system to connect periodically to the Internet, an intranet or a mailbox. Data are then only
transmitted if required, such as if a new e-mail is sent or received.
Therefore communication via GPRS-based operation of the measuring system provides the simplest
and most cost-effective way of connecting a measuring point periodically to the Internet or an intranet.
!Note!
If the device is in service subject to legal metrological control, the wireless transmission of billing-
specific data via GSM/GPRS is for information purposes only and is not legally binding.

Custody transfer (optional):
!Note!
As an option, Promag W 800 is tested in accordance with OIML R49 and has an EC type-examination
certificate as per Measuring Instruments Directive 2004/22/EC (MID) for service subject to legal
metrological control ("custody transfer") for cold water (Annex MI-001).
The permitted fluid temperature in these applications is 0 to +50 °C (+32 to +122 °F).
It is used with a legally controlled totalizer on the local display.
Measuring devices subject to legal metrological control totalize in both directions, i.e. all the outputs
consider flow components in the positive (forward) and negative (reverse) flow direction.
Generally a measuring device subject to legal metrological control is secured against tampering by lead
seals on the transmitter or sensor.
These lead seals may normally only be opened by a representative of the competent authority for legal
metrology controls.
!Note!
After putting the device into circulation or after sealing the device, operation via the onsite display, via
the Config 5800 software operating tool or via GSM/GPRS is only possible to a limited extent.
Detailed ordering information is available from your local Endress+Hauser sales center for
national approvals as cold water meters based on OIML R49.

Low flow cutoff Switch points can be selected for low flow cutoff between 0 and 25 % of the full scale value.
Galvanic isolation All circuits for inputs, outputs and power supply are galvanically isolated from each other.
Data logger (SD card) • The integrated data logger can log the following data:
– Reference data: time, date, consecutive numbers in list etc.
– Totalizer counter readings: positive, negative, net (balance)
– Flow: in volume unit (e.g. m3/h) or in %
– Measuring cycles per hour, state of charge of the individual battery packs (B1, B2, B3),
temperature of the electronics board
• Configurable save cycle: 15 seconds to 24 hours.
• The data of the data logger are not lost if the battery is replaced.
The data logger gives users the option of second, parallel data recording in a higher resolution within
a specific period of time.
The data are saved daily in a new file on the micro SD card (storage capacity 2 GB). Via the FXA291
service interface, the files can be saved for evaluation on a PC or laptop with the Config5800 operating
software. It is also possible to transmit the files by e-mail via the GSM/GPRS modem, which is available
as an option.
Power supply
Battery concept Battery arrangement options
Three battery terminals are available in the measuring device. These terminals are assigned different uses
depending on the number and arrangement of the batteries. B1 and B2 are the terminals for power supply to
the measuring device, B3 is the terminal for the GSM/GPRS modem.
The measuring device is initially powered by the batteries in terminal B2. If the voltage supplied by these
batteries becomes too low, the measuring device issues a message and switches automatically to the battery in
terminal B1.
If power is supplied to the measuring device externally and the power supply fails, the battery in terminal B1
acts as a backup power supply.
The GSM/GPRS modem is always powered by the battery in terminal B3.

Battery life The battery has a maximum battery life of 15 years.
The battery life, and thereby the availability of the measuring device if powered by batteries, depends
on a number of factors, including:
• The number of batteries
• The ambient conditions
• The frequency of data transmission via the GSM/GPRS modem
• The size of the files transmitted
• The interface activities (use of local operation, GSM/GPRS modem etc.)
• The selected measured value acquisition method:
– "MAX. LIVE" (max. battery life): measured value acquired every 15 seconds.
– "SMART" (dynamic control of measurement data acquisition): measured value acquisition depends on the
flow profile. The measuring device records the measured value every 5 seconds. The frequency of the
measured value acquisition cycle is increased if the measuring device detects a change in the flow profile.
The measuring device is supplied with the "SMART" measuring mode as standard.
– "AVERAGE": measured value acquisition every 3 seconds.
– "CONTINUOUS": continuous measured value acquisition.

Installation
No special measures such as supports are necessary.
External forces are absorbed by the construction of the device.
Mounting location Preferably install the sensor in an ascending pipe,
and ensure a sufficient distance (2 × DN) to the next pipe elbow.
A0017061
Selecting the mounting location
To prevent measuring errors from gas bubbles accumulating in the measuring tube, avoid the following
mounting locations in the pipe:
• Highest point of a pipeline
• Directly upstream of a free pipe outlet in a down pipe
Installation in down pipes
Install a siphon or a vent valve downstream of the sensor in down pipes whose length h 5 m (16.4 ft). This
precaution is to avoid low pressure and the consequent risk of damage to the lining of the measuring tube. This
measure also prevents the system losing prime, which could cause air pockets.
Information on the lining's resistance to partial vacuum can be found in the "Pressure tightness" section
