    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.
