IP68 to 10ft (3m) depth *Specifications subject to change. Please consult our website for the most current data (www.seametrics.com). If forward and reverse flow data needs to be sent to another device, either the -ADDX, -DDDX or Modbus output is required.
• Inner diameter must be larger than opening in flow Straight Pipe Recommendations. As with most flow meters, meter. the iMAG requires straight pipe before and after the meter for 2. Be sure all mating surfaces are smooth and free of best accuracy. However, the ability of electromagnetic meters debris.
Metal Pipe Installations. To equalize the electrical potential • Repeat steps a and b for each bolt in an of the fluid, the iMAG meter, and the surrounding pipe, secure alternating order, such as shown at right, the flange plates (factory-installed on the equalization wire) tightening to 40%, then 60%, then 80%, and then to both pipe flanges at one of the bolt holes, as shown below.
