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.
SPI M SPI Mag Description of Components SPI MAG DESCRIPTION OF COMPONENTS Overview The SPI Mag Model 282L flowmeter combines an innovative sensor with a comprehensive electronics package to provide accurate flow measurement for full-pipe flow monitoring applications. The insertable sensor (available for one-inch and two inch taps) uses electromagnetic technology to measure water velocity. The streamlined, debris-shedding sensor shape allows the SPI Mag to be used under many flow conditions.
SPI M SPI Mag Description of Components Flow Calculation The velocity measurements provided by the full-pipe sensor are used to calculate flow. Flow (also known as Q, as the flow rate, or as throughput) is the amount of fluid moving through a pipe in a period of time. For example, if 100 gallons of water move past the sensor in one minute, the flow is 100 gallons per minute (GPM).

SPI M Sensor Probe Installation SENSOR PROBE INSTALLATION Please read the following information before installing the SPI Mag Sensor Site Selection Install the sensor at an adequate distance from elbows, T-junctions, Y-junctions, active valves. Whenever possible, install the sensor upstream from a bend or junction. Sensor Clearance The sensor will protrude from the pipe when installed demanding sufficient clearance (distance H, in Figure 5 below) from any obstruction for the purposes of installation and removal.
SPI M Sensor Probe Installation Pipe Valve Installation WARNING! Pressurized pipes should only be hot tapped, cut, or drilled by qualified personnel using high quality saddles, valves ad stainless steel nipples. If possible, depressurize the pipe before attempting any installation. Install a 2”...
SPI M Sensor Probe Installation Inserting The Sensor WARNING! The compression seal/sensor assembly may be under pressure. Serious injury may result if proper procedures are not followed. Do not attempt to install the sensor without the restraining rods fully assembled. Ensure the compression seal is only hand tightened.
Sensor Insertion Tool High Gear Shaft McCrometer recommends using a sensor insertion tool (Figure 12) (P/N 75031) to help with inserting the sensor and to avoid any damage to the sensor. Place the profiling insertion tool over the captive nuts and lock it into place with spring locks located on the bottom of the tool.
SPI M Sensor Removal SENSOR REMOVAL WARNING! The pipe may be under pressure. Serious injury or death may result if proper procedures are not followed. To remove the sensor follow the steps below: Visually inspect the pipe and entire assembly for damage or corrosion paying close attention to any nipples and welded couplings.
• PVC Insertion Tube: Up to 105°F (41°C) at 150 PSI temperature limits • Stainless Steel Insertion Tube: Up to 160°F (71°C) at 250 PSI (McCrometer recommends the use of Stainless Steel) Note regarding storage: During freezing conditions and when meter is not in use, sensor must be removed from pipe and stored in dry conditions.
