2.2.1 Design
An electromagnetic flowmeter system consists of a sensor and a transmitter. The sensor is
installed in the specified pipeline while the transmitter is mounted locally or at a central location.
2.2.2 Model with compact design
The transmitter and the flowmeter sensor form a single mechanical entity.

2.2.3 Model with remount mount design
The transmitter is mounted in a separate location from the flowmeter sensor. The electrical
connection between the transmitter and the sensor is provided by a signal cable.
Without a pre-amplifier, the maximum permissible signal cable length is 50 m (164 ft) with a
minimum conductivity of 5 µS/cm.
With a pre-amplifier, the maximum permissible signal cable length is 200 m (656 ft).
