damage to property. The notices referring to your personal safety are highlighted in the manual by a safety alert
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.

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
● 3G/UMTS 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.
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.
3.3 Design
MAG 8000 is a battery-supplied magnetic inductive water meter for revenue, district 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.
● Minimal 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 ánd excess stress placed on pumping stations. This also saves
energy.
● Zero maintenance - designed without moving parts and a battery lifetime of up to 15 years.
● 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.

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 FM MAG 8000
Operating Instructions, 03/2020, A5E03071515-AH 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 no magnetic fields are present.
87L166
N
S
Flow direction
Ensure that sensor is mounted in correct flow direction as indicated on label.
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.
)ORZGLUHFWLRQ
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).
Installing/Mounting
4.1 Sensor installation
SITRANS FM MAG 8000
18 Operating Instructions, 03/2020, A5E03071515-AH

MAG 8000 CT is approved with OIML R49:2013 and MID for the following installations:
● DN 50 to DN 300 with 0x Di of straight pipe upstream to the sensor and 0x Di of straight pipe
downstream from the sensor.
● DN 350 to DN 600 with 3x Di of straight pipe upstream to the sensor and 3x Di of straight pipe
downstream from the sensor.
For optimal measurement performance, it is recommended to follow the installation guidelines
for the MAG 8000 standard water meter.

● Installation at the highest point in pipe system.
● Installation in vertical pipes with free outlet.
Partially filled pipes
For partially filled pipes or pipes with downwards flow and free outlet, sensor must be mounted
in a U-tube.
