Safety Warnings When installing, operating, and maintaining McCrometer equipment where hazards may be present, you must protect yourself by wearing Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) and be trained to enter confined spaces. Examples of confined spaces are manholes, pumping stations, pipelines, pits, septic tanks, sewage digesters, vaults, degreasers, storage tanks, boilers, and furnaces.
When uncrating the McMag3000, any damage due to rough or improper handling should be reported to the transportation firm and McCrometer. If for any reason it is determined that the unit or parts of the unit should be returned to the factory, please contact McCrometer for clearance prior to shipment.
Factory for any circumstances encountered which are not covered in this manual. All McCrometer products are tested and inspected during manufacture and prior to shipping. An inspection should be performed at the time of unpacking to detect any damage that might have occurred during shipment.
Flow Meter Installation 3 .4 Flow Direction It is very important to install the flow meter relative to the flow of the water. The sensor is designed at an angle to shed debris in the flow and for other performance enhancements. (Figure 3) Note: 6”...
Flow Meter Installation 4 .1 New Installations Saddle type meters offer simplicity of installation. A minimum round hole size of three inches (3.0") should be cut into the top center of the pipe. The saddle meter is then installed as follows: Loosen and remove the nuts and washers from the straps.
4 .3 Installations Replacing Existing Saddle Meters The meter CANNOT be installed The Mc Mag 3000 can be used to replace existing McCrometer saddle meters. NOTE with Water Specialties bolt on The Mc Mag 3000 can be installed with Water Specialties bolt-on saddle saddle meter cutout templates for meter cutout templates for 6”...
IMPORTANT: Do not cut or alter the cable length on power or signal cables! Connections to the sensor must be made with cable supplied by McCrometer specifically for that purpose. Do not substitute the supplied cable with other types of cable, even for short runs. For repairs or added lengths of cable, the entire cable between the sensor and the converter must be replaced.

(Figure 14) • Signals and associated wire colors in the McCrometer SmartOutput™ interface cable are identified together in the top row of the table at right. • Corresponding wire colors for transceivers from each compatible AMI vendor are identified in the columns under the top row.
Quick Connect Cabled Ends (Optional) IMPORTANT Connections to the sensor must be made with cable supplied by McCrometer specifically for that purpose. Do not substitute the supplied cable with other types of cable, even for short runs. For repairs or added lengths of cable, the entire cable between the sensor and the converter must be replaced.
EXTERNAL WIRE CONNECTION 7 .3 Power Options Depending on output options and specific application position, you may choose to add additional power options to the battery powered converter. The 5W solar panel option (described in section 7.7) can extend battery life to 10-15 years. Additionally, you have the option of connecting external power of 10-32VDC or 100-240VAC.
EXTERNAL WIRE CONNECTION 7 .7 Solar Panel Option (for use with standard model only) The solar panel provides power to the converter by converting sunlight into electrical energy to recharge the solar panels’ rechargeable battery. Its nominal power output is 5W. When the solar panel is installed and the cable has been run to the converter, connection inside the converter is the same as installing batteries.
8 .0 GROUNDING The Mc Mag3000 is fitted with a grounding lug on the saddle for proper grounding. For typical installations the lug can be connected to an earth ground and/or the metal pipe in which it is installed. (Figure 23) For electrically noisy installations connect the grounding lug to a dedicated, low impedance earth ground.
