LTRA Ultra Mag 3000 Electromagnetic Flow Meter Installation, Operation and Maintenance Manual Standard Model For use in non-hazardous locations HL Model For use in hazardous locations: • Class I, Division 2, Groups A B C D, T5 • Class I, Zone 2 IIC T5 30126-05 Rev.
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 Ultra Mag, 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.
PREPARING FOR A NEW INSTALLATION LTRA IMPORTANT: Verify the meter serial numbers on both the transmitter and sensor match. If the meter serial numbers do not match, contact the factory before continuing with the installation. The serial number tag is located on the side or top of the transmitter (Figure 2). The tag has the transmitter model number, the transmitter serial number, the meter model number and the meter serial number.

REMOTE MOUNT TRANSMITTER INSTALLATION LTRA 4 .2 Remote Mount Transmitter Installation You will need to prepare the location where you will install the remote transmitter. The location cannot be further from the flow meter than the length of the 25’ cable. This must be planned in advance because the cable cannot be lengthened. Doing so will alter the calibration accuracy between the meter and the transmitter and void the warranty.
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 transmitter must be replaced.
REMOTE MOUNT TRANSMITTER INSTALLATION LTRA 5 .3 Pulling Sensor Cable Through Electrical Conduit It is very important to protect the end of the sensor cable when pulling it through a conduit. Cable cover is Water can accumulate in low portions of conduit. Always use a cable cover, or similar method, NOTE not provided.

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. Quick Connect cable end fittings are optional. If selected at the time of order, follow the instructions below.
Also, keep the contacts in the cable connector clean and dry during assembly. IMPORTANT To connect sensor and transmitter via quick connect plugs and sockets, only use the supplied cable assemblies from McCrometer. 7 .4 Power Options Depending on output options and specific application position, you may choose to add additional power options to the battery powered transmitter.
EXTERNAL WIRE CONNECTION LTRA 7 .5 DC Power Cable (Optional) The cable contains wiring for both the optional 10-32VDC power to the meter, and the 4-20mA output from the meter. (Figure 25) Note: Input power is for the transmitter only if that option was selected at time of purchase. The 4-20mA loop requires its own power supplied to the loop, not be used with red/black wires.
See Figure 29 below. The solar panel comes complete with all accessories, except for the fixing rod. These instructions apply only to McCrometer-supplied solar panels with a rechargeable battery. Connecting directly to a solar panel could damage the transmitter.
Field Mag sensor have a non-conductive coating and may not require grounding rings. For best performance, 8 .0 GROUNDING AND ELECTRICAL INTERFERENCE McCrometer provides grounding rings for all sizes. For best performance, grounding the uid column is recommended when the meter is installed in an electrically noisy environment, such as with VFD pumps or nearby electrical systems with insu cient grounding.
