MAG 8000 service guidelines

The MAG 8000 battery-operated water meters are based on a very reliable measurement
technology and the advanced alarm monitoring and diagnostics provide valuable information
concerning the meter performance, faults, and service conditions.
Optimal meter performance requires proper meter selection, proper installation, and proper
commissioning for the particular application. This service guideline section indicates how to
detect and solve the most common problems. Meter and application problems are indicated
by the alarm program via the main fault and warning symbol on the display and the
comprehensive data logging and monitoring available via the communication interface.
Alarm monitoring includes individual registration of each alarm, how many hours the alarm has
been active, when the alarm first appeared, and when it disappeared last. The alarm log can
be reset with its own date and time registration. A common fault hour counter includes all active
alarms in one counter. Additionally, active alarms are logged in the data logger to monitor when
the alarms have been activated.
Fatal faults 1 through 4 are the most important to resolve as they influence the operation of
the meter. Fatal faults will disappear as soon as the alarm condition is corrected.
