4.1 Unit selection
4. Commissioning
MAG 8000 & MAG 8000 CT have totalizer and flow rate units set as ordered via the MLFB structure.
The standard MAG 8000 format for each region is:
• Europe - m
3
as totalizer and m
3
/h as flow rate
• US - Gallon as totalizer and GPM as flow rate (Gallon per minute)
• Australian - MI as totalizer and MI/d as flow rate (Mega Liters)
The standard MAG 8000 CT format is:
• Europe - m3 as totalizer and m3/h as flow rate
Additional MAG 8000 pre-defined units or combinations can be implemented at the factory by using
the -Z option in the MLFB ordering structure:
• Volume = m

4.1.1 Unit conversion
table
All units of measure are printed on a label and affixed to the display (except the European version)
and some meter sizes have a factor included to secure the 8 digit display value will not overrun
after short time of operation. A sticker and manual configuration of units also allows selection of
new units.
Changing units via PC software program Flow Tool:
• Select service mode and meter version – upload data from the meter
• Open the transmitter, remove the battery (still connected) and attached the hardware lock to
the PCB board
• Change units description in parameter FT8 and FT9
• Change units factor in parameter FT300 and FT301
• Change the maximum flow rate Qn (Q3) to the new unit selection FT10
• Select unit display FT306
• Download each parameter to the meter, remove the hardware key and re-assemble the meter.
The service mode opens many parameters which, if changed, can seriously affect the meter
accuracy and operation. Care must be exercised when writing new parameter values, as the
meter has no default setting to return to.
