The GF Signet 2580 FlowtraMag is a full-bore plastic PVC in line style magnetic owmeter.
The PVC body with titanium or Hastelloy®C 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 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 DN25 (1 in.), DN50 (2 in.) and DN100 (4 in.),
optimized for performance in short pipe runs often associated with nal e󰀪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 nal e󰀪uent lines, well heads and skids
• Factory calibrated with certicate (±1% of reading accuracy)
• Partially lled pipe detection status indicator
• Visual LED indicators make sensor status clear and easy to read
• Reverse ow direction congurable with 0252 Conguration Tool or GF Cong Tool
Bluetooth®App
• One device with three di󰀨erent outputs: eld selectable Frequency or Digital (S³L),
and analog 4 to 20 mA

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 e󰀨ect is not related to
porosity, but purely a matter of gas di󰀨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 a󰀨ected or damaged by the media di󰀨using
through the plastic body.
Unit is factory shipped congured to measure water.
1. Depressurize and vent system prior to installation or removal.
2. Con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 speci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.

DO NOT HANDLE BY THE SENSOR!
Always handle FlowtraMag Meters by the
union nuts or anges, NOT the sensor head.
Vertical Pipe Runs
To ensure pipe is owing full with some back pressure, it is highly recommended that the uid 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 ll with air.

Wiring Conguration
When using the 2580 FlowtraMag with frequency or Digital (S3L), all of the connections from the 2580 FlowtraMag
to external equipment (PLC, Datalogger, Chart Recorder, Flow meter, etc.) are made using the red and white wires.
See wiring diagrams for further details.

DO NOT REMOVE WIRING!
Damaging or removing the power or

Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC) Recommendations
Complex instrumentation systems such as the 2580 FlowtraMag and the associated devices may face challenges involving
Electromagnetic Interference (EMI). EMI interference may be coupled to the system via cables (conducted interference) or
broadcast via electrical radiation (radiated interference).
Radiated interference may be mitigated by relocating the source or increasing the distance from the source. Metal shielding may be
used.
Conducted interference can be mitigated by careful wiring practices. Because EMI may follow multiple paths, it will be necessary to
observe the e󰀨ectiveness of various grounding options.
2580 FlowtraMag Power Cable
• In electrically noisy environments, connect the power cable shield (drain) wire to a clean low impedance earth ground.
• If there is a single power supply for all 2580 FlowtraMag system components (Instruments, PLCs and VFDs), route signal
wiring directly to the instruments. Do not use ground points common to other wiring. Avoid creating ground loops.
• If separate power supplies are used, connect all power grounds to a common low impedance ground.
2580 FlowtraMag Output Cable
• In electrically noisy environments, connecting the Signal Output cable shield (drain) wire to a clean low impedance earth
ground may help reduce signal noise and preserve communication. Observe the di󰀨erence between connecting or not
connecting the shield. Avoid creating ground loops.
Frequency/S3L Output
-The S3L/Frequency cable shares the ground with the 2580 FlowtraMag Power Supply. Use a common DC power supply
for the 2580 FlowtraMag and the ow instrument.
4 to 20 mA Output
-If the 4 to 20 mA is used to control a highly inductive load such as a Variable Freq Drive or a DC motor, use separate DC
power supplies for the 2580 FlowtraMag and the 4 to 20 mA device, active mode should be used.
- In Passive mode the 2580 FlowtraMag loop output cable shares the ground with the 2580 FlowtraMag Power Supply.
Use the same DC power supply for the 2580 FlowtraMag and the 4 to 20 mA device.
- In Active mode the 2580 FlowtraMag loop output cable is isolated from the 2580 FlowtraMag Power Supply. The 4 to 20
mA device can use a di󰀨erent Power Supply.

8Signet 2580 FlowtraMag Meter
Recommended:
The directional arrow should be pointed
DOWNSTREAM for correct operation. If the 2580
FlowtraMag 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.
Application Tip:
If your ow is in the reverse direction, it is possible to set
up reverse ow via the GF Signet 0252 Conguration
Tool or GF Cong Tool App.

With AVERAGING set to O󰀨 and with SENSITIVITY set to zero, the
2580 FlowtraMag responds to every unstable shift in the ow. The
dashed red line represents the actual output of the ow sensor in
unstable ow conditions.
With AVERAGING set to Medium and SENSITIVITY still set to zero
the ow rate is stabilized, but a sharp change in 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 ow rate is stabilized, while the sudden shift in ow is
reected very quickly (solid blue line).
• Because ideal ow conditions are often impossible to achieve, the uids 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 ow rate.
• The best solution to these problems is to correct any piping deciency that causes the instability. This may involve longer straight
runs upstream, taking steps to ensure pipe remains full during ow conditions, and other installation changes.
In many situations, however, these measures are simply not possible.
• The 2580 FlowtraMag provides two tools that are designed to "work around" these de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 O󰀨, Low (10 s), Med (40 s) and High (120 s).
Use higher averaging times to smooth the display and current output where the ow in the pipe is erratic.
Quick Response Sensitivity (Factory Set: 0.5 m/s (1.64 ft/s) equivalent)
• Sets an amount of ow rate change at a given reference ow rate required to momentarily allow the 2580 FlowtraMag to change
from the selected averaging time to a faster response. The reference ow rate should be near the range of normal operation.
Turn the averaging setting to o󰀨 and observe the ow rate variation, enter a sensitivity amount that is two times larger than the
amount of ow variation.
Averaging and Sensitivity Settings
LEDs on the 2580 FlowtraMag circuit board are useful to identify problems with the meter and the ow conditions.
