Installation Planning Considerations
The MagneW 3000 PLUS planning considerations are summarized in Table 5. To ensure proper flowmeter selection
and operation, the following installation conditions should be reviewed:
• Environmental conditions
• Fluid to be measured
• Measured liquid flow conditions
• Detector location in piping
• Clearance for maintenance and inspection
Table 5—Summary of Installation Considerations
Factor Consideration
Environmental conditions The following should be considered when installing the MagneW 3000 PLUS .
• The ambient temperature should be within the following ranges:
– Integral model:
–25 to +60°C (–13 to +140°F)
– Remote converter:
–25 to +60°C (–13 to +140°F)
– Remote detector:
PFA lining:
–30 to +80°C (–22 to +176°F)
Polyurethane rubber or Chloroprene rubber lining:
–30 to +60°C (–22 to +140°F)
• Whenever possible, the flowmeter should not be exposed to direct sunlight, rain, or other
unfavorable weather.
• The flowmeter should be installed as far from any pump in the line as practical, so that the flo
w
does not pulsate.
• The flowmeter must not be subjected to severe vibration, as equipment damage could result.
• The flowmeter must not be subjected to a highly corrosive atmosphere, as equipment damag
e
could result.
• The flowmeter must be installed sufficiently apart from high-current power lines, motors,
transformers, or any other source of electromagnetic interference.
