4.2 Potential equalization
Liquid potential equalization or grounding is accomplished with built-in grounding electrodes
and/or grounding rings. The electrodes ensure electrical connection between liquid and meter
providing a stable and accurate measurement.
① Built-in grounding electrode
(7ME6810 and 7ME6820)
② Grounding rings pre-mounted on
MAG 8000 Irrigation (7ME6880)
4.3 Grounding
The sensor body must be grounded using grounding/bonding straps and/or grounding rings
to protect flow signal against stray electrical noise and/or lightning. This ensures that noise is
carried through sensor body and that the measuring area within sensor body is noise-free.
Irrigation applications
MAG 8000 Irrigation device is always delivered with pre-mounted grounding rings. Grounding
rings are mandatory for MAG 8000 Irrigation.
