Application domain
The mag-flux M1 is a microprocessor controlled and program-
mable transmitter that can be customized using control unit.
Although
basic
configuration
calibration are realized at the factory, other settings such as
those for measurement data processing, analysis, display and
output are user definable.
Measurement data from sensors of series mag-flux are processed
by the transmitter (hereinafter referred to as mag-flux M1). It
can be installed directly on the sensor (compact version) or be
mounted separately (remote version) and it is designed for flow
velocities up to 10 m/s.
A remote version is available for sensor mag-flux A, mag-flux S,
mag-flux F5 and also for probes mag-flux MIS 1/D and mag-flux
MIS 2/15.
A compact version is only available for sensor mag-flux A and
mag-flux S.
The transmitter mag-flux M1 is communication enabled and
®
supports optional the HART
protocol.

Introduction
I.
Shipping, storage and product inspection
Shipping and storage
The device is to be safeguarded against dampness, dirt, impact
and damage.
Product inspection
Upon receipt of the product, check the contents of the box and
the product particulars against the information on the delivery
slip and order form so as to ensure that all ordered components
have
been
supplied.
Notify
immediately upon receipt of the product. Any damage claim
received at a later time will not be honored.
II.
Warranty
Your flowmeter was manufactured in accordance with the highest
quality standards and was thoroughly tested prior to shipment.
However, in the event any problem arises with your device, we
will be happy to resolve the problem for you as quickly as
possible under the terms of the warranty which can be found in
the terms and conditions of delivery. Your warranty will only be
honored if the device was installed and operated in accordance
with
the
instructions
for
commissioning and/or maintenance work is to be carried out by
qualified and authorized technicians only.
III. Repair
It is important that you do the following before shipping your
flowmeter to MECON GmbH for repair:
Enclose a description of the problem with your device.
Describe in as much detail as possible the application and
the physical and chemical properties of the fluid.
Remove any residues from the device and be sure to clean
the
seal
grooves
and
particularly important if the fluid is corrosive, toxic,
carcinogenic, radioactive or otherwise hazardous.
The operator is liable for any substance removal or personal
damage costs arising from inadequate cleaning of a device
that is sent for repair.

IV. Using HART
hand-held terminal
For information regarding operation of the transmitter using the
HART
hand-held terminal, see "Operation of the mag-flux M1
transmitter using the HART
hand-held terminal."
__
Steps prior to operation
It is essential that these operating instruc-
tions have been read before installing and
operating the device. The device has to be in-
stalled and serviced by a qualified technician
only. The mag-flux M1 transmitter is solely
suitable to measure volume flow of liquids in
conjunction with a sensor of series mag-flux.
