The cable type used for the connection between sensor and transmitter for remote versions: UNITRONIC® LiYCY (TP) 0035 830, 2x2x0.5 The MAGX2 is equipped with an electronic board located inside the sensor neck. This board sends a digital signal to the transmitter, unlike traditional flowmeters, which send an analogue signal. This allows the MAGX2 to carry its signal over much longer distances than conventional flowmeters;...
All MAGX2 sensors are supplied with 2 built in earthing electrodes which is sufficient for all applications with metal pipes and tanks. However on applications where all pipes and tanks are manufactured from plastic, it is recommended that earthing rings are also installed to ensure the maximum resistance of the sensor to earth is <1 ohm.
(see page 5).Connect the connector at the end of the signal cable from the sensor to the transmitter circuit board. Electrical installation should only be done by a qualified person. Standard safety regulations for hazardous electrical installations have to be respected. MAGX2 User Guide V2.3 27-01-2012...
- Always check if the module does not have a bent or broken pin, before placing it in the correct module slot of the MAGX2 motherboard. - Always make sure you place the module in the correct slot of the motherboard! The name that is written on the module itself has to match the name written next to the slot.

Maintenance MAGX2 flowmeter does not require any special maintenance. Dependent on the media being measured it is recommended that approximately once a year, to remove the sensor from the pipe and clean the liner. Method of cleaning consists of removing mechanical dirt and any non-conductive coating (like oil film) from the liner.
If you are not sure about suitability of liner/electrode material for a particular medium, please contact the Arkon sales department for further assistance, and the site where the flowmeter is to be used for what materials are acceptable for the process media.
