1 INTRODUCTION MC608
1.3 PRELIMINARY NOTES
Main parts of the electromagnetic owmeter are:
»Sensor – installed in the tube with the use of anges and other joints;
»Converter – can be installed on the sensor (in compact version) or remotely (in remote version)
connected with two pipes.
Electromagnetic owmeters have many important advantages compared to their mechanical counterparts,
such as: exceptional long-term stability, maximum process reliability and zero maintenance. As a result,
these sensors can provide accurate and reliable long-term measurements.
See the following paragraphs for more detailed information on correct installation.
NOTES:
Electromagnetic owmeters are designed specically to operate under the following basic
conditions:
1. The liquid must be conductive
2. The tube must always be completely full
3. The input and output distances must be on recommended settings
4. The grounding instructions must be followed
1.4 PRODUCT IDENTIFICATION

2 PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
2.1 OPERATING PRINCIPLE
MC608 converter has been designed with the aim of fulllment of all the requirements of modern water
management systems, through a exible and hybrid electronics which, depending on the model, offers
various power supply solutions.
An electromotive force is induced at the ends of
a conducting uid that moves with velocity v in a
magnetic induction eld B and can be expressed as:
e = kBDv
Where it is:
B is constant by construction;
Dis constant and represents the
distance between the electrodes E1
and E2 (equivalent to the diameter
of the owmeter);
v is the uid velocity;
k is the calibration constant;
1 - Electromotive force (proportional to the velocity);
2 - Electrodes;
3 - Magnetic eld;
4 - Coils;

2 PRODUCT DESCRIPTION MC608
2.3 CONVERTER INSTALLATION TYPES
Depending on the version of the MC608 converter, it can be installed in the system in two different ways:
• COMPACT (Fig. 3): The converter is mounted to
the relevant detection sensor.
Fig. 3 Compact Version
• REMOTE (Fig. 4): The converter, if powered from
the mains (MC608A/P/I) can be installed up to
100 meters away from the sensor while battery-
powered converter (MC608B/R) can be installed up
to a maximum of 30 meters away from the sensor.
Fig. 4 Remote version
2.4 CASING
The MC608 converter is protected by suitable casing specically chosen for each product version. In
particular, protective casings can be:
»Solid and reliable casing in aluminium IP68 for MC608A/B/R
»Stainless steel IP54 casing for MC608I for remote installations
»Solid thermoplastic casing for installations in electrical cabinets MC608P
2.5 POWER BATTERIES
The MC608B and MC608R converters are battery-powered via a primary lithium battery as well as a
rechargeable lithium battery. It is therefore necessary to consider the following:
»Lithium batteries are the primary energy source because of their high-energy density, and are
created to meet the highest safety standards. However, they can be potentially hazardous if they
are exposed to electrical or mechanical abuse. In many cases, this is associated with excessive
heat production in which the increased internal pressure could lead to cell rupture.

EUROMAG | MC608 | Ed. 10/2018
11 / 60
MC608 PRODUCT DESCRIPTION 2
These basic precautions need to be followed when handling and using lithium batteries:
IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS!
• Do not short-circuit, recharge, overload or reverse-connect the battery
• Do not expose the battery to temperatures higher than those specied, as it will incinerate
• Do not crush, puncture or open the cells or disassemble the battery packs
• Do not weld or braze the battery body or battery packs
• Do not expose the contents to water
The use of lithium batteries is regulated under the United Nations Model Regulations on the Transport
of Dangerous Goods (UN Model Regulations on the Transport of Dangerous Goods), document ST/SG/
AC.10/1 Rev. 20.
These are basic precautions that should be followed during the transport of lithium batteries:
IMPORTANT NOTES!
• Transport only in special packages with labels and special transport documents specic to
current regulations.
• Be careful when handling, transporting and packing the batteries so as to avoid short-
circuiting.
• The batteries comply with the requirements set out in the “UN Manual of Tests and Criteria,
Part III, subsection 38.3” for air transport and with the provisions of the ADR regulations for
transport by truck/ship.
Remove the battery from the transmitter before sending the ow meter to EUROMAG
INTERNATIONAL in case of maintenance or any intervention under warranty.
2.6 DATA SAFETY
All versions of the MC608 converter guarantee safety of the collected and processed data as a
result of the internal memory (EEPROM) on which the data are saved.
The integrated circulating memory allows the storage of data with 200,000 log lines (the data are kept
for more than 6 years with factory settings); when the memory is full, the new data will automatically
overwrite the old data.
In order to prevent the loss of saved data, and to be able to better manage it on its management
systems, the unit is supplied with a specialized software that allows users to communicate with the
electronics of the MC608 via IrCOM or RS485 Modbus serial interfaces, that can be connected to any
PC, laptop and/or tablet with a Windows operating system.
Fast download, data management, easy programming and an advanced self-diagnosis system, that
automatically perform a wide range of essential checks, make the MC608 converter a highly efcient
and irreplaceable tool for uid detection in water management systems.
A multi-level password system also allows controlled access to the data collected and guarantees
condentiality.

2 PRODUCT DESCRIPTION MC608
2.7 REMOTE DATA READING
The GSM module allows data collection on site and remote monitoring via the GSM/GPRS network and
allows any client to access all the information easily and without any cost. An additional communication
module automatically sends the information via SMS, e-mail (with or without attachment) and to the free
access site www.euromagdata.com, using any browser and entering personal ID and password. This
option is available also on smartphones and tablets.
For more information on the GSM module, refer to document TD 211.
2.8 OPTIONAL MODULES
2.8.1 Hart protocol available for MC608A.
The MC608A/I converter can be equipped with an optional module (installable only by the manufacturer)
which acquires the Hart connectivity on the 4-20mAoutput, granting the access to all quantities measured
by the device as well as to the operating parameters. A MC608 converter equipped with Hart connectivity
has no Modbus connectivity on RS485.
For more information on Hart, refer to the relevant documentation.
2.8.2 Optional module Pression/Temperature for MC608A.
All the versions of the MC608 converter can be equipped with an optional module (installable only by
manufacturer) to which one or two wired probes are connected that allow the device to measure the
pressure and temperature of the process. This information, in addition to being stored in the internal data
logger, can be directly viewed on the display (Para.5.2.1, p.34), is accessible via Modbus / Hart and is
transmitted by the GSM module (if installed) in the manner laid out by the same device.

4 INSTALLATION MC608
4 INSTALLATION
4.1 MOVING
Given the small size and the low weight of the REMOTE version of the MC608 converter, there are
no particular precautions/indications that need to be followed in order to carry out its movement
and/or installation at the place of use.
CAUTION! The compact version of the MC608 converter must be carefully moved so as not to
cause damage to the sensor and connection anges. Below you will nd a description of the
correct and incorrect handling of the compact converter.
The proper lifting method (for transport and installation) of the compact converter is shown in Fig. 14.
The ow meter must be lifted and transported by properly harnessing the device on the side parts of the
ow meter, making sure that the slings (ropes, bands, etc.) are xed to the appropriate eyebolts.
WARNING: Do not raise the ow meter harnessing the converter (Fig. 15)!!
Do not move the owmeter with the lifting device if it is not in the original packaging (Fig. 16) or
without an adequate support that ensures the required stability.
