Installing/Mounting 4.2 Determining a location Figure 4-4 Inlet and outlet conditions Installation in large pipes The flowmeter can be installed between two reducers (e.g. DIN 28545). At 8° the following pressure drop curves apply. The curves are applicable to water. Example: A flow of 3 m/s (V) in a sensor with a diameter reduction from DN 100 to DN 80 (d = 0.8)
Installing/Mounting 4.3 Orienting the sensor Orienting the sensor The sensor operates in all orientations, but Siemens has the following recommendations: ● Vertical installation with an upwards flow Figure 4-5 Vertical orientation, upwards flow CAUTION Abrasive liquids / liquids containing solid particles...
● Use proper gaskets according to liner type Figure 4-7 Correct installation with gaskets Vibrations Avoid strong vibrations.

Connecting The following contains a short description of how to connect a remote mounted sensor to a transmitter type SITRANS F M MAG 5000 / 6000 or MAG 6000 I. For more information, e.g. about wiring of power supply and outputs, refer to the Operating Instructions for the respective transmitters.
Connecting 5.1 Remote installation ● To guarantee the IP 67 degree of protection, use cables with the required specifications. WARNING Protective conductor terminal The required cable is min. AGW16 or 1.5 Cu. WARNING Wire insulation The insulation between the connected mains supply and 24 V AC/DC supply for the flowmeter must at least be rated with double or reinforced insulation at mains voltage.
Page 27
Connecting 5.1 Remote installation 2. Remove SENSORPROM unit from sensor and mount it on connection plate in ® transmitter, see relevant transmitter operating instructions. 3. Fit the ½" NPT or M20 cable glands for supply and output cables. 4. Fit and connect electrode and coil cables as shown below. CAUTION Unshielded cable ends Keep unscreened cable ends as short as possible.
Connecting 5.2 Installation check 5. Tighten cable glands well to obtain optimum sealing. WARNING Mount terminal box lid before power up. Installation check The meter is now ready to go into normal operation - for commissioning and setting of parameters refer to the relevant transmitter manual. Before commissioning it must be checked that: ●...

Troubleshooting/FAQs 7.1 Sensor check Sensors with an insulation resistance down to 1 Megohms may still work satisfactorily but this is not guaranteed. Electrode resistance check ● Measure the electrode resistance between connections 82 and Zero with a moving coil meter. With a sensor full of fluid the resistance should be between 5Kohms and 50Kohms.
