U.S. and International Patents Pending
The Signet 2580 FlowtraMag is a full-bore plastic PVC in line style magnetic fl owmeter. The
PVC body with titanium electrodes has no moving parts, and is two to three times lighter
in weight compared to traditional metal magmeters on the market. It is designed for high
accuracy fl ow measurement in short pipe runs, making it an ideal solution for industrial
applications where performance and ease of use are important.
The FlowtraMag is available in pipe sizes of 1", 2" and 4", optimized for performance in short
pipe runs often associated with fi nal effl uent lines, well heads and water treatment skids.
Features include:
• No moving parts
• No pressure drop
• Lighter in weight compared to traditional metal magmeters
• Reduced straight run requirements, ideal for fi nal effl uent lines, well heads and skids
• Factory calibrated with certifi cate (±1% of reading accuracy)
• Partially fi lled pipe detection status indicator
• Visual LED indicators make sensor status clear and easy to read
• Reverse fl ow direction confi gurable with 0252 Confi guration Tool or GF Confi g Tool
Bluetooth® App
• Capable of temperature readings of the media using the 0252 Confi guration Tool or

Safety Information
Georg Fischer Signet products are manufactured in a variety of
wetted materials to suit various liquids and chemicals.
All plastic materials including typical piping types (PVC) are more
or less permeable to contained media, such as water or volatile
substances, including some acids. This eff ect is not related to
porosity, but purely a matter of gas diff usion through the plastic.
If the plastic material is compatible with the medium according
to the application guidelines, the permeation will not damage
the plastic itself. However, if the plastic encloses other sensitive
components, as is the case with GF Signet FlowtraMag meter,
these may be aff ected or damaged by the media diff using
through the plastic body.
Unit is factory shipped confi gured to measure water.
1. Depressurize and vent system prior to installation or removal.
2. Confi rm chemical compatibility before use.
3. DO NOT exceed maximum temperature or pressure specs.
4. ALWAYS wear safety goggles or face shield during
installation and/or service.
5. DO NOT alter product construction.
6. If this equipment is used in a manner not specifi ed by the
manufacturer, the protection provided by the equipment may
be impaired
7. This device is not approved for use or installation in
hazardous locations.

Sensor Mounting Angle
Horizontal Pipe Runs
To minimize adverse eff ects of air pockets and sediment,
avoid mounting the 2580 horizontally (±90º from vertical).
Vertical Pipe Runs
To ensure pipe is fl owing full with some back pressure, it is
highly recommended that the fl uid fl ows upward.
Gravity and Discharge Lines
It is recommended to install a u-trap to ensure the pipe
remains full at all times, and to minimize air bubbles.
A vacuum breaker may be required downstream of the
FlowtraMag to ensure pipe doesn't drain and fi ll with air.
Sensor Pipe Installation
1. Choose a mounting location that satisfi es
the requirements.
2. Install sensor with fl ow arrow pointing in
the direction of fl ow.
Note: Gland fi ttings should point upstream
of fl ow.
OKRecommended OK
Vertical flow is OK IF the
pipe remains FULL
at all times.

6Signet 2580 FlowtraMag Meter
Wiring Confi guration
When using the 2580 with frequency or Digital (S3L), all of the
connections from the Magmeter to external equipment (PLC,
Datalogger, Chart Recorder, Flow meter, etc.) are made using the
red and white wires. See wiring diagrams for further details.
Recommended:
The directional arrow should be pointed
DOWNSTREAM for correct operation. Use a cable
gland or a liquid tight connector to seal the cable
ports from water intrusion. If the 2580 is installed
on a vertical pipe, the cable ports should be turned
to point downward. This will prevent condensation
from being channeled into the enclosure.

NOTE: The SENSITIVITY function is ineff ective if the AVERAGING function is set to off (seconds).
No AVERAGING, no SENSITIVITY
AVERAGING only
AVERAGING and SENSITIVITY
With AVERAGING set to Off and with SENSITIVITY set to zero, the
2580 responds to every unstable shift in the fl ow. The dashed red
line represents the actual output of the fl ow sensor in unstable fl ow
conditions.
With AVERAGING set to Medium and SENSITIVITY still set to zero
the fl ow rate is stabilized, but a sharp change in fl ow rate is not
represented for 50 seconds or longer (dotted green line).
With AVERAGING at Medium and SENSITIVITY set to a moderate
amount, the fl ow rate is stabilized, while the sudden shift in fl ow is
refl ected very quickly (solid blue line).
• Because ideal fl ow conditions are often impossible to achieve, the fl uids fl ow is often erratic, which causes erratic readings in
control features (e.g., relays, 4 to 20 mA loops, etc.) that are associated with the fl ow rate.
• The best solution to these problems is to correct any piping defi ciency that causes the instability. This may involve longer straight
runs upstream, taking steps to ensure pipe remains full during fl ow conditions, and other installation changes.
In many situations, however, these measures are simply not possible.
• The 2580 provides two tools that are designed to "work around" these defi ciencies. The Averaging and the Sensitivity features
should be studied before making adjustments.
Averaging Time in Seconds (Factory set: Low)
• Set the time the meter will use as the averaging period. The ranges are Off , Low (10 s), Med (40 s) and High (120 s).
Use higher averaging times to smooth the display and current output where the fl ow in the pipe is erratic.
Quick Response Sensitivity (Factory Set: 0.5 m/s (1.64 ft/s) equivalent)
• Sets an amount of fl ow rate change at a given reference fl ow rate required to momentarily allow the 2580 to change from the
selected averaging time to a faster response. The reference fl ow rate should be near the range of normal operation. Turn the
averaging setting to off and observe the fl ow rate variation, enter a sensitivity amount that is two times larger than the amount of
fl ow variation.
Averaging and Sensitivity Settings
LEDs on the 2580 circuit board are useful to identify problems with the meter and the fl ow conditions.
LED Condition Indication

Troubleshooting
Symptom Possible Cause Solution
No LED Lights Unit is not powered, or the power wiring
is reversed.
Check power wiring, voltage should be
12 to 32 VDC at 24W.
Solid Blue There is no fl ow. If user expects to see
fl ow, the Low Flow Cutoff value may be
set too high.
Change the Low Flow Cutoff value in user menu
using GF Confi guration Bluetooth® Tool or
0252 Confi guration Tool.
Solid Purple Partially fi lled pipe. Flow rate is zero. User should be aware that the pipe could be fi lled
> 50% and water in the pipe is stagnant, or the water is
below 50% and water could be stagnant or moving.
Blinking Red Flow measurement is out of range.
If error persists, the LED will become
solid RED after one minute.
The spiking of the fl ow outside the normal range could
be caused by excessive EMI, or water splattering
through a partially fi lled pipe and creating fl ow spikes.
The spiking will end once the disturbance is not
present anymore.
Frequency
output does not
work
1. Bluetooth selection is S3L.
2. Improper wiring.
1. Select frequency from GF Confi g Tool or
0252 Confi guration Tool.

2. Possible air pockets traveling
through the piping system.
3. Pipe is not full and water
fl ow creates splashing of
the electrodes.
4. Excess turbulence in fl uid
fl ow profi le.
1. Verify the grounding of the FlowtraMag and of
the nearby VFDs and Pumps. If possible, use
grounding rings or connect metal portions of the
piping to closest ground.
2. Check the piping and use vents if possible,
otherwise wait for the air pockets to be eliminated
through the system.
3. Try to keep the pipe full, by installing vertical.
