Battery-Operated Electronic Flowmeter Optimizes Water Supply and Ensures Correct Billing
SPRING HOUSE, Pa. (May 17, 2005) – Siemens Energy & Automation introduces a new battery-operated flowmeter for a wide variety of water industry applications, including flow measurement for distribution and zone metering, abstraction, revenue metering, and leak detection.
With a typical battery life of six years, the MAG 8000 W is ideal when connecting to a power supply is difficult or expensive. The meter’s NEMA 6P rated protection is also suitable in difficult environmental conditions, including underground installations or in flood areas.
The MAG 8000 W instrument is designed to provide accurate leak detection and precise billing information. The internal sensor coned-down design delivers optimal low-flow detection even with insignificant pressure drops.
The Sitrans MAG 8000 W flowmeter employs a robust design that contains no moving parts to break or wear out, and requires no maintenance.
The meter measures flow in both directions with a high precision of 0.5 percent to ensure accurate metering. The MAG 8000 W can be integrated into consumption recording systems with an integral infra-red interface and two pulse outputs, either locally wired or wireless via GSM (global system for mobile communications) in Internet applications. An integrated data logger stores the consumption figures for up to 26 months, along with alarm signals of special events, including violations of the upper and lower limits.
The MAG 8000 W flowmeter is approved for custody transfer in accordance with European water meter standard CEN EN 14154, as well as the international standard OIML R49.
