Electromagnetic flowmeter
Full-bore flow sensors
The perfect fit for all water
industry applications
Introduction
ABB’s full-bore FEF, FEV and FEW electromagnetic
flowmeter sensors are available with either an
AquaMaster 3 or a WaterMaster transmitter.
AquaMaster 3 and WaterMaster are a range of high
performance electromagnetic flowmeters for the
measurement of electrically conductive fluids and are
supplied as factory-configured and calibrated systems.
This User Guide provides end-user details for installation
and connection.
