GENERAL INFORMATION
The iMAG-Series is the most economical anged
electromagnetic owmeter on the market. With electrodes
designed to discourage fouling, it is available in 4” to 12”
pipe in municipal or industrial water, waste and reclaimed
water, pump stations, and packaged plant applications.
(For 3” version, see iMAG 4600-300.) Minimal straight
pipe requirements allow iMAG-Series meters to be used in
piping congurations where there is little space between
the meter and an elbow.
iMAG-Series meters are rated IP68 for burial or for
applications where the meter may be under water for
prolonged periods of time.

INSTALLATION

iMAG 4700 INSTRUCTIONS
Seametrics • 253.872.0284 Page 9 seametrics.com
Positioning the Meter
These meters can be installed horizontally, vertically (with
upward ow), or in any radial position. Using a check
valve on the upstream side of the meter, and/or an air
vent (vacuum relief valve) in the same, unobstructed
run of pipe as the meter, is required in any installation
where the meter may be exposed to suction when the
system is not in normal operation. Suction can cause
damage to the liner. Liner damage caused by suction,
without the use of a check valve and/or air vent, may
void the warranty.
Straight Pipe Recommendations. The iMAG requires
straight pipe before and after the meter for best accuracy.
However, the ability of electromagnetic meters to average
the ow across the entire pipe allows for shorter straight
pipe recommendations than most mechanical meters (see
page 7).
Full Pipe Recommendations. To prevent false readings,
this meter is designed to indicate ‘EMPTY PIPE’ if one or
more electrodes is exposed. For highest accuracy, install the
meter so that the pipe will be full when there is ow. If air
bubbles may be present in the pipe or sludge accumulation
is an issue, rotate the meter by one ange hole to position
the control housing at a 45˚ angle (see diagrams on page
8).
Fittings. The iMAG has ANSI 150 lb. drilled anges and
will mate with any other ANSI 150 lb. anges. See table on
page 10 for ange bolt tightening torque specications.
Calibration. The iMAG is factory-calibrated and will not
require any form of eld calibration.
Chemical Injection. When the iMAG is used in a chemical
injection application, the chemical injection point must be
placed downstream of the magmeter OR far enough
upstream for complete mixing to occur before the uid
reaches the meter. When unmixed chemical alternates with
water passing through the meter, the rapid changes in
conductivity may cause sudden spikes and drops in the
meter’s reading, resulting in inaccurate measurement. The
magmeter will re-stabilize, however, with a steady ow of
uid of uniform conductivity.
CAUTION: These ow sensors are not
recommended where installation may
expose the ow sensor to boiler pressure
and temperature. Maximum recommended
operating temperature is 130˚ F.
CAUTION: In chemical injection applications,
install chemical injection point downstream
of magmeter, or far enough upstream to
allow complete mixing of uids.
INSTALLATION
Installing Gaskets
1. Select a suitable full-face gasket.
• Only use at compressible gaskets (either pliable
or hard ber will work).
• Use a material compatible with the uid you will
be using.
• Thickness should be 1/8” - 1/4” (3 - 6 mm),
depending on the atness of the pipe ange
surface.
• Inner diameter must be larger than opening in
ow meter.
2. Be sure all mating surfaces are smooth and free of
debris.
3. Install gaskets on each end of meter as shown in
diagrams below. If using grounding rings, install
one gasket on each side of the grounding ring.

IMAG 4700 INSTRUCTIONS
Seametrics • 253.872.0284 Page 10 seametrics.com
Equalization and Grounding
Metal Pipe Installations. To equalize the electrical
potential of the uid, the iMAG meter, and the surrounding
pipe, secure the ange plates (factory-installed on the
equalization wire) to both pipe anges at one of the
bolt holes, as shown below. Be sure the lock washer ts
between the pipe ange and the ange plate. For the best
electrical bonding, remove rust and paint to expose clean,
bare metal where the equalization ange plate lock washer
contacts the pipe ange. Connection must be inspected
periodically for corrosion to maintain the necessary low
resistance connection.
Plastic Pipe Installations. When the iMAG is installed in a
plastic piping system, grounding rings are recommended,
especially in the presence of electrical interference sources
such as VFD pump drives. As shown in the diagram below,
the equalization wires should then be connected to the
grounding ring tabs instead of the ange bolts as in metal
piping installations. Where lightning is a threat, or in severe
electrical environments, an optional connection to a nearby
equipment ground or ground rod may be advisable.
WARNING: ELECTRICAL SHOCK HAZARD
When the iMAG is installed in a plastic
piping system, or when externally powered,
the piping system must be grounded to
meet national and local electrical safety
codes. Failure to do so can result in
electrocution.

INSTALLATION
Tightening Flange Bolts
NOTE: Mating pipe anges must be ANSI 150# full face (FF)
and/or raised face (RF).
1. Tighten ange bolts in an alternating pattern.
• Tighten left ange bolt-1 to 20% recommended
torque.
• Tighten right ange bolt-1 to 20% of
recommended torque.
• Repeat steps a and b for each bolt in an
alternating order, such as shown at right,
tightening to 40%, then 60%, then 80%, and
then 100%.
2. Test for leaks.
3. If needed, tighten further in 10% increments
until leaking stops. DO NOT over-tighten. Over-
tightening can cause serious damage to the ow
meter.
4. Recheck after 24 hours, adjusting if needed.
Suggested Tightening Sequence
Caution: Improper tightening sequence
can cause serious damage to the ow
meter.
• Do not tighten one side at a time.
• Do not tighten each bolt completely
at one time.

CONFIGURATION
Cable Shield. In general, the cable shield and its bare drain
wire should be left unconnected at the user equipment end
of the cable to minimize “ground loop” problems.
Pulse Output Conguration. A pulse output is standard
on all models. Since this is an isolated output, the
external equipment must include a DC power source to
regenerate the pulse from the open-collector output
(transistor equivalent of a contact closure). A pull-up or
pull-down resistor may be needed if not included in the
user equipment as shown in the diagrams. Both the power
source and resistor may be supplied internally in some
types of control and monitoring devices. If not, as for most
PLC discrete input modules, they must be added externally
at the module input terminals. The pulse output rate in
volume units/pulse can be set by the user via the SETP tab
on the meter’s setup menus.
Because the pulse output of an iMAG 4700 meter is set by
the user, care must be taken to assure the output pulses do
not exceed the maximum frequency of the meter while also
ensuring a reasonable resolution.
K-factor: Remember that SETP is expressed in units totaled
per output pulse (G/P if using gallons) while K-factors are
expressed in pulses per gallon (P/G.) To determine K-factor
from SETP, divide 1 by SETP (if SETP is expressed in gallons.)
Conversely, 1 divided by the K-factor equals SETP
iMAG 4700 meters that were initially congured as battery
powered units have a maximum output frequency of 150
Hz. Those that were initially congured as powered units
have a maximum output frequency of 200 Hz.
Because all pulse outputs (SETP) are congured in (rate)
units totaled per pulse, all sizes of meters can be congured
with the same SETP values
For example, if your rate is chosen as gallons per minute
(GPM) the table below applies. If your rate is different,
simply use your rate label in place of (GPM.) The numerical
values will remain the same.

0.9 54 10800 8100
1.0 60 12000 9000
Lower frequency output pulses (1 pulse for some particular
number of gallons) can also be set.
Any output frequency can be determined by:
Rate (units/minute) ÷ SETP (units/pulse) = pulse/minute
Hz = pulse/minute ÷ 60 seconds / minutes

CONFIGURATION
Analog Output (4-20mA) Conguration. (Not available
on battery only units.) Since the meter’s analog output
is isolated and passive, loop power must be supplied
externally as shown previously. (In addition, an external
resistor RLwill be needed to convert the loop current to
voltage for voltage-only input devices.) The meter’s loop
transmitter minimum voltage drop is 6Vdc (8Vdc with
HART) which, with wiring resistance and loop power supply
voltage, will determine the maximum resistance for RL. The
ow rates corresponding to 4 and 20mA can be set by the
user via the SET 4 and SET20 tabs on the meter’s setup
menus.
HART Conguration. (Not available on battery only units.)
The HART protocol, rev.7.5, allows for a Polling address
between 0 and 63. The default value in the iMAG is 0. To
change the Polling address, use iMAG menu HPOLL to set
the Polling address.
To get to this menu, move to the EXIT tab and tap the left
button 4 times. This will bring up the SUBMENU page.
Navigate to the HPOLL tab. Use the left button to select
the Polling address.
To enter SUBMENU To select address
(See Changing Flow Meter Settings later in these
instructions for details in using the menu system.)
A minimum of 250 ohms of loop resistance must be present
in order for the HART modem to correctly and reliably
demodulate FSK voltage. With this in mind, the maximum
loop resistance* for the iMAG HART interface cannot be
exceeded in order to assure correct operation.
The iMAG HART interface is HART compatible. All the
commands have been implemented in accordance with
the HART Protocol Specication published by HART
Foundation. A HART Communicator can be used with the
iMAG, even in the absence of DD les, by taking advantage
of the Generic Online Menu capability of a Communicator.
This means that a generic menu is automatically available
when DD les are not present.

*4-20 mA loop has maximum loop resistance of 650ohms
and requires a 24Vdc power supply.
Modbus® Serial Communication Conguration (factory
congured). (Not available on battery only units.) These
connections provide a half-duplex, isolated, RS485 serial
communications port using the Modbus messaging
protocol. The port is recongurable by internal jumper
settings to full-duplex RS232 or 3.3V CMOS. The TXD
connection is the transmitted data output from the meter
and RXD is the received data input to the meter. See
Seametric’s Modbus Interface Description, LT-103393
(available at www.seametrics.com) for supported Modbus
message protocol and electrical interface specications.
Digital Output Conguration. (Not available on battery
only units.) These outputs are electrically similar to the Pulse
Output described above except they are capable of output
frequencies up to 10kHz. The frequency output scaling can
be set by the user via the SETF tab on the meter’s setup
menus. Selections are: 500Hz and 1, 2, 5 and 10 KHz at
maximum ow rate.
