  • Page 6: Installation

    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;...

  • Page 7: Dry Liner

    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.

  • Page 53: Maintenance

    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. A very dirty liner could cause inaccuracy of the measurement.
