Installation & Operation Manual
Vertical Placement
Mag meters perform best when placed vertically, with liquid flowing upward and meter electrodes in a closed, full pipe.
Vertical placement allows the pipe to remain completely full, even in low flow, low pressure applications, and it prevents
solids build-up, sediment deposit and accumulation on the liner and electrodes.
Note: Carefully observe the “Forward Flow” label on the meter body and install the meter accordingly. When
installed vertically, rotate amplifier so that cable glands are facing down.
Horizontal Placement
M-2000 meters are equipped with an "Empty Pipe Detection" feature. If an electrode mounted in the pipe is not covered by
fluid for five seconds, the meter will display an "Empty Pipe Detection" condition. The meter will send out an error message
and stop measuring flow. When the electrode is again covered with fluid, the error message disappears and the meter will
begin measuring.
When installing the meter on a horizontal pipe, mount the detector to the pipe with the flow-measuring electrode axis in a
horizontal plane (three and nine o’clock). This placement helps prevent solids build-up, sediment deposit and accumulation
on the electrodes.
