Installation, general
Electromagnetic flowmeter type MAG 3100 W
Reading and operating the flowmeter is pos-
sible under almost any installation condi-
tions because the display can be oriented in
relation to the sensor. To ensure optimum
flow measurement attention should be paid
to the following:
The sensor must always be completely full
with liquid.
Therefore avoid:
• Installation at the highest point in the pipe
system
• Installation in vertical pipes with free outlet
For partially filled pipes or pipes with down-
ward flow and free outlet the flowmeter should
be located in a U-tube.
Installation in vertical pipes
Recommended flow direction: upwards. This
minimizes the effect on the measurement of
any gas/air bubbles in the liquid.
