Suggestions for the direct
burial of MAG 3100 &
MAG 5100 W sensors
If MAGFLO 3100 or MAG 5100 W sensors are buried directly into the ground, we suggest the
following precautions:
The SENSORPROM
â
unit should be removed from the terminal box on the sensor and relocated
in the signal converter remote mounting prior to burying the sensor.
All the sensor data plate information and serial number should be recorded for each sensor prior
to burying. This will ensure correct matching with the SENSORPROM
â
unit.
The sensor should be potted with the optional IP68 submersion kit and suitable coil and
electrode cables should be used prior to burying.
The use of pea gravel, at least 12 inches all around the sensor, is recommended. This provides
some drainage and prevents dirt from caking onto the sensor. It also helps locate the sensor
should excavation be necessary.
Before covering the pea gravel with earth, we suggest the use of electrical cable identification
tape laid above the gravel.
The sensor should not be subject to heavy vehicles applying excessive weight above the sensor
or pipeline.
NEMA 6 submersible kit
(option)
If the sensor is going to be buried or per-
manently submerged, the terminal box must
be encapsulated with silicon dielectric gel.
The optional kit has two components.
Mix the two components well (without inducing
air) and pour the contents into the terminal box.
The material is a non-toxic, transparent, self-
healing gel which cures in approx. 24 hours.
The gel can be penetrated with test instru-
ments or be removed in case of cable replace-
ment.
