symbol, notices referring only to property damage have no safety alert symbol. These notices shown below are
graded according to the degree of danger.
DANGER
indicates that death or severe personal injury will result if proper precautions are not taken.
WARNING
indicates that death or severe personal injury may result if proper precautions are not taken.
CAUTION
indicates that minor personal injury can result if proper precautions are not taken.
NOTICE
indicates that property damage can result if proper precautions are not taken.
If more than one degree of danger is present, the warning notice representing the highest degree of danger will be
used. A notice warning of injury to persons with a safety alert symbol may also include a warning relating to property
damage.
Qualified Personnel
The product/system described in this documentation may be operated only by personnel qualified for the specific
task in accordance with the relevant documentation, in particular its warning notices and safety instructions. Qualified
personnel are those who, based on their training and experience, are capable of identifying risks and avoiding

Description 3
3.1 System components
A SITRANS F M MAG 8000 water meter system includes:
● A transmitter and a sensor. The transmitter is either compact mounted (integral) or remote
mounted at a distance of maximum 30 m (100 ft).
● An internally or externally mounted battery supply or 115 to 230 V AC or 12/24 V AC/DC
power supply with battery backup.
Communication solutions
The following communication modules are available:
● RS 232
● RS 485 Modbus RTU
● Encoder interface for AMR solutions
● GSM/GPRS module
3.2 Operating principle
MAG 8000 is a microprocessor-based water meter with graphical display and key for optimum
customer operation and information on site. The transmitter drives the magnetic field in the
sensor, evaluates the flow signal from the sensor, and calculates the volume passing through.
It delivers the required information via the integrated pulse output or communication interfaces
as part of a system solution. Its intelligent functionality, information and diagnostics ensure
optimum meter performance and information to optimize water supply and billing.
MAG 8000 Standard and MAG 8000 CT can be ordered as a Basic or an Advanced version,
and MAG 8000 Irrigation as Basic version only.
3.3 Design
MAG 8000 is a battery-supplied magnetic inductive water meter for revenue, district and
irrigation metering application.

3.4 Benefits
● Simple placement of the meter - bury the meter underground or in a floating chamber. The
IP 68 (NEMA 6P) design is unaffected by meter position or in-line piping stresses, and there
is no requirement for filters.
● Low pressure loss - an unrestricted flow tube ensures minimal pressure loss, even at the
highest flow rates. Overall network system pressures can be reduced, helping to prevent
leakage from burst pipes and excess stress placed on pumping stations.
● Zero maintenance - designed without moving parts and has a 10-year battery life.
● Measurement in both directions - only one meter required for measuring in both direction.
● Intelligent meter - only one meter for leak detection, data logger function, and self-detection
of errors.

Installing/Mounting 4
MAG 8000 water meters are suitable for indoor and outdoor installations.
● Make sure that pressure and temperature specifications indicated on the device nameplate /
label are not exceeded.
General information
This chapter describes how to install the water meter in the compact version as well as in the
remote version.
87L130.10
Figure 4-1 Compact installation
Figure 4-2 Remote installation
The installation consists of two steps:
1. Sensor installation.
2. Transmitter installation (remote version only).
SITRANS MAG 8000
Operating Instructions, 11/2018, A5E03071515-AE 17

4.1 Sensor installation
The sensor installation consists of three steps:
1. Locating the sensor.
2. Orienting the sensor.
3. Mounting the sensor.
4.1.1 Locating the sensor
Ensure that the sensor is located in the most optimum place and where no magnetic field is
present.

Flow direction
Ensure that sensor is mounted in correct flow direction as indicated on label.
)ORZGLUHFWLRQ
If process flow direction is opposite of flow direction indicated on sensor label, forward flow
rates can be restored via parameter 327, if factor is adjusted to "-1".
MAG 8000 CT is approved for bidirectional measurement.

SITRANS MAG 8000

Inlet and outlet condition
To achieve most accurate flow measurement it is essential to have certain straight inlet and
outlet pipe lengths as shown (Di: sensor diameter). MAG 8000 CT is approved for installation
with 0D of straight pipe upstream from the sensor and 0D of straight pipe downstream from
the sensor. It is, however, recommended to follow the installation guidelines for the MAG 8000
Standard water meter for optimal measurement performance.
Sensor must be completely full of liquid
Therefore avoid:
● Air in pipe.
● Installation at the highest point in pipe system.
● Installation in vertical pipes with free outlet.
Installing/Mounting
4.1 Sensor installation
SITRANS MAG 8000
Operating Instructions, 11/2018, A5E03071515-AE 19

Partially filled pipes
For partially filled pipes or pipes with downwards flow and free outlet, sensor must be mounted
in a U-tube.
4.1.2 Orienting the sensor
MAG 8000 CT DN 50 to DN 150 can be installed in all orentations, while DN 200 to DN 400
can only be installed horizontally.
Horizontal pipes
Sensor must be mounted as shown in upper part of figure. Do not mount sensor as shown in
lower part of figure as electrodes then will be positioned at top where air bubbles may occur
and in bottom, where mud, sludge, sand etc. may deposit and cover the electrode, thus
impacting the measurement.
If "Empty Pipe Detection" is used, sensor should be tilted 45° as shown in upper right figure
to maximize full pipe detection and provide accurate volume calculations.
Note
Physical installation of battery pack may influence battery capacity. Optimal battery capacity
is achieved with battery pack in an upright position. Installation examples marked with dotted
cross will affect battery capacity.
