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 ® 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.
FLOW METER INSTALLATION ® Upstream Downstream distance distance 1½” to 3” Flanged style meters 0D upstream / 0D downstream 4” - 24” Steel flanged meters 1D upstream / 0D downstream Note: All distances are measured from the end of the flange. Flow direction Figure 5 .
REMOTE MOUNT TRANSMITTER INSTALLATION ® See section 6.4 External See section 7.0 for connection connection on for connection flow meter See section 6.2 for connection AC or DC power source IMPORTANT: The example shown above does not include grounding installation . Depending on your requirements, the meter will need to be grounded according to the methods shown in section 8 .0 .
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.

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 transmitter 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 transmitter. 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 ® EXTERNAL WIRE CONNECTION ProComm 7 .7 Solar Panel Option Solar Panel Option (for use with standard model only) The solar panel provides power to the transmitter by converting sunlight into electrical energy to recharge the solar panels’ rechargeable battery.
