WARNING!
Incorrect installation or removal of
meters can result in serious injury
or death. Read the instructions in
this guide on the proper procedures
carefully.
Anypersoninstalling,inspecting,ormaintaining
a McCrometer owmeter should have a working
understanding of piping congurations and
systems under pressure.
Before adjusting or removing any meter,
be certain the system has depressurized
completely.
Be careful when lifting meters. Meters can cause
serious injury if lifted incorrectly or dropped.

supplied with this meter. It is intended to be
a quick reference for the basic installation and
reading of the Field Mag.
It is designed to provide installation instructions
when the location of the sensor installation has
been predetermined.
Refer to the meter manual (30126-46 Field Mag
5000 IOM manual) for information on these topis:

FIELD MAG
The shipping crate contains the following items:
• Electromagnetic meter assembly with
grounding wire attached
• Converter cable (attached to meter)
• Signal converter
• Grounding rings (anged meters only)
• Ground wires (2) (anged meters only)
• User manuals for both the sensor and
converter
When uncrating the Field Mag, any damage due to
rough or improper handling should be reported
to the transportation rm and McCrometer. If for
any reason it is determined that the unit or parts
of the unit should be returned to the factory,
please contact McCrometer for clearance prior to
shipment. Each unit must be properly crated to
prevent any further damage. The factory assumes
no responsibility for equipment damaged in
return shipment due to improper packaging.
1. Check Shipping Crate Contents
2. Check Serial Numbers
3. Pipe Run Requirements
4. Sensor Position and Location
The converter and sensor are supplied as a
matched system. Verify the meter serial numbers
on both the converter and sensor match. This will
insure a properly calibrated system.
The tag on the side of the converter has the
converter model number, the converter serial
number and the meter serial number, which is
calibrated to the converter. An example is shown
below.
The meter needs to be located a minimum
distance before and after ow disturbances,
such as elbows, pumps, partially opened valves,
and changes in pipe diameter. The uneven ow
created by these obstructions can vary with each
system.
The minimum distance is measured in pipe
diameters(D).Toensureaccuracylocatethe sensor
upstream and downstream of ow disturbances
as follows:
1D upstream / 0D downstream
IMPORTANT
Verify the meter serial numbers on both
the converter and sensor match. This will
insure a properly calibrated system. The meter
serial number is located on a plate on the body
of the sensor, and the converter serial number
and the meter serial number are located on a
label on the side of the converter. Insure the
meter serial number on the sensor and the
converter tags match.
I
Pipe Diameters
For proper accuracies any 90 or 45 degree elbows,
valves, partially opened valves etc. should be
placed not closer than two pipe diameters
upstream and one pipe diameter downstream.
Flow Direction
It is very important to install the ow meter relative
to the ow of the water. There is a sticker on the
Field Mag that indicates the direction of ow.

Sensor Orientation
The following installation recommendations
should be followed:
Vertical installation
In vertical pipe runs, the ow should be
upward. In slurry application, a vertical
position ensures optimal distribution of
solids under all ow conditions.
Horizontal installation
In horizontal pipe runs, the meter should be installed so
that the junction box is vertical insuring the electrodes
are positioned to prevent coating by sediments or loss
of electrode contact due to air bubbles.

Less than full pipes
In pipes which may
encounter less than a full
pipe of uid, the meter
must be positioned in
a trap to ensure that
the sensor is always
completely lled with
liquid.
The Field Mag requires grounding to
ensure proper functioning and accuracy.
See section 8for grounding instructions
and methods.

5. Flow Meter Installation
Meters with Grooved End Connections
Meters with grooved ends are easily installed by
connecting two pipe ends to the meter body.
Clamp the two ends using standard clamps
used for this purpose. (Clamps are not provided
by the factory.)
Clamps should be
bolted on tight,
but torquing is
not required. Refer
to section 8for a
full description of
grounding methods that are available.
Flanged Meter Installation
Install the Field Mag ow meter inline between
two anged end pipes.The ow meter may require
grounding, depending on the environment they
are being installed in. Refer to section 8for a
full description of grounding methods that are
available.

6. Remote Mount Installation
Youwillneedtopreparethelocationwhereyouwill
install the remote converter. The location cannot
be further from the ow meter than the length
of the 25’ cable. This must be planned in advance
because the cable cannot be lengthened. Doing
I
IMPORTANT: The example shown above does not include grounding
installation. Depending on your requirements, the meter will need to be
grounded according to the methods shown in section 8.

so will alter the calibration accuracy between the
meter and the converter and void the warranty.
Install the ow meter as required. Mount the
converter and connect the cable to the meter’s
junction box and the converter’s external
connection.
All electrical cables enter the converter through
compression ttings or optional customer-
supplied conduit located on the side or bottom of
the converter. Ensure that all compression glands
are properly tightened and all unused ttings are
plugged so the case remains sealed.
The power cable and wiring harnesses are each
assigned specic cable glands where they will
pass through into the converter.
All cable compression glands must be properly
tightened to prevent moisture intrusion and
maintain the IP67 rating. To insure IP67 rating, use
only round cable 0.24" to 0.47" in diameter.
Attaching conduit directly to the enclosure may
introduce dangerous gasses and moisture into
the enclosure creating a dangerous condition,
and will remove the enclosure's IP67 rating.

ProComm Converter Wiring Connection
All connections are made on the terminal board. To access the terminal board, loosen the four screws
on the front of the converter and lift the converter open.
All electrical cables enter the converter through compression ttings located on the side of the
converter. Ensure that all compression glands are properly tightened and all unused ttings are
plugged so the case remains sealed.
8. Grounding
Grounding the meter body for safety according to national (NEC) or local electrical codes is
recommended on ALL meter installations. All Field Mag ow meter installations require minimum
grounding with a 12-gauge ground wire to an earth ground.

Meter Grounding Recommendations
Flanged end meters
See below for grounding examples, including the preferred method of grounding.
When installing into a PVC or plastic pipe system, grounding rings for anged meters are recommended
for all sizes. For best performance, McCrometer provides grounding rings for all sizes.
For best performance, grounding the uid column is recommended when the meter is installed in an
electrically noisy environment, such as with VFD pumps or nearby electrical systems with insucient
grounding.
Grooved end meters
Grooved end meters do not require grounding rings and only require a ground wire connecting the
ground lug to a ground.
