Description 3
3.1 System components
A SITRANS F M MAG 8000 water meter system includes:
● A transmitter and a sensor. The transmitter is either compact mounted (integral) or remote
mounted at a distance of maximum 30 m (100 ft).
● An internally or externally mounted battery supply or 115 to 230 V AC or 12/24 V AC/DC
power supply with battery backup.
Communication solutions
The following communication modules are available:
● RS 232
● RS 485 Modbus RTU
● Encoder interface for AMR solutions
● GSM/GPRS module
3.2 Operating principle

MAG 8000 is a microprocessor-based water meter with graphical display and key for optimum
customer operation and information on site. The transmitter drives the magnetic field in the
sensor, evaluates the flow signal from the sensor, and calculates the volume passing through.
It delivers the required information via the integrated pulse output or communication interfaces
as part of a system solution. Its intelligent functionality, information and diagnostics ensure
optimum meter performance and information to optimize water supply and billing.
MAG 8000 Standard and MAG 8000 CT can be ordered as a Basic or an Advanced version,
and MAG 8000 Irrigation as Basic version only.
3.3 Design
MAG 8000 is a battery-supplied magnetic inductive water meter for revenue, district and
irrigation metering application.

3.4 Benefits
● Simple placement of the meter - bury the meter underground or in a floating chamber. The
IP 68 (NEMA 6P) design is unaffected by meter position or in-line piping stresses, and there
is no requirement for filters.
● Low pressure loss - an unrestricted flow tube ensures minimal pressure loss, even at the
highest flow rates. Overall network system pressures can be reduced, helping to prevent
leakage from burst pipes and excess stress placed on pumping stations.
● Zero maintenance - designed without moving parts and has a 10-year battery life.
● Measurement in both directions - only one meter required for measuring in both direction.
● Intelligent meter - only one meter for leak detection, data logger function, and self-detection
of errors.

MAG 8000 water meters are suitable for indoor and outdoor installations.
● Make sure that pressure and temperature specifications indicated on the device nameplate /
label are not exceeded.
General information
This chapter describes how to install the water meter in the compact version as well as in the
remote version.
87L130.10
Figure 4-1 Compact installation
Figure 4-2 Remote installation
The installation consists of two steps:

1. Sensor installation.
2. Transmitter installation (remote version only).
SITRANS MAG 8000

Installing/Mounting
4.1 Sensor installation

The sensor installation consists of three steps:
1. Locating the sensor.
2. Orienting the sensor.
3. Mounting the sensor.
4.1.1 Locating the sensor

Ensure that the sensor is located in the most optimum place and where no magnetic field is
present.
87L166
Flow direction
Ensure that sensor is mounted in correct flow direction as indicated on label.
)ORZ
GLUHFWLRQ
If process flow direction is opposite of flow direction indicated on sensor label, forward flow
rates can be restored via parameter 327, if factor is adjusted to "-1".
MAG 8000 CT is approved for bidirectional measurement.
SITRANS MAG 8000

Installing/Mounting
Inlet and outlet condition

To achieve most accurate flow measurement it is essential to have certain straight inlet and
outlet pipe lengths as shown (Di: sensor diameter). MAG 8000 CT is approved for installation
with 0D of straight pipe upstream from the sensor and 0D of straight pipe downstream from
the sensor. It is, however, recommended to follow the installation guidelines for the MAG 8000
Standard water meter for optimal measurement performance.
Sensor must be completely full of liquid
Therefore avoid:
● Air in pipe.
● Installation at the highest point in pipe system.
● Installation in vertical pipes with free outlet.
SITRANS MAG 8000

Installing/Mounting
Partially filled pipes

For partially filled pipes or pipes with downwards flow and free outlet, sensor must be mounted
in a U-tube.
4.1.2 Orienting the sensor

MAG 8000 CT DN 50 to DN 150 can be installed in all orentations, while DN 200 to DN 400
can only be installed horizontally.
Horizontal pipes
Sensor must be mounted as shown in upper part of figure. Do not mount sensor as shown in
lower part of figure as electrodes then will be positioned at top where air bubbles may occur
and in bottom, where mud, sludge, sand etc. may deposit and cover the electrode, thus
impacting the measurement.
If "Empty Pipe Detection" is used, sensor should be tilted 45° as shown in upper right figure
to maximize full pipe detection and provide accurate volume calculations.
Note
Physical installation of battery pack may influence battery capacity. Optimal battery capacity
is achieved with battery pack in an upright position. Installation examples marked with dotted
cross will affect battery capacity.
SITRANS MAG 8000

Installing/Mounting
Vertical pipes (MAG 8000)

Recommended installation is in a vertical/inclined pipe to minimize wear and deposits in sensor.
Installation in large pipes (MAG 8000)

The water meter can be installed between two reducers (e.g. DIN 28545).
With an 8° reducer, the following pressure drop curve applies. The curves are applicable to
water.
SITRANS MAG 8000

Installing/Mounting
Example:
A flow velocity of 3 m/s (10 ft./sec.) (V) in a sensor with a diameter reduction from DN 100 to
DN 80 (4" to 3") (d1/d2 = 0.8) gives a pressure drop of 2.9 mbar (0.04 psi).
4.1.3 Mounting the sensor

1. Install gaskets.
2. Ensure connection flange has a smooth surface and is in line with sensor.
Gaskets are recommended but not included in water meter delivery.

Advice for gasket selection:
● Only use flat rubber gaskets.
● Thickness 1 to 6 mm (0.0 to 0.02 ft) dependent on gap/tolerance.
● Inner diameter must be larger than bore of water meter.
● Material should be compatible with process fluid.
● Hardness should be maximum 75 Shore A.
Maximum allowable torques

Standard bolts must be well lubricated and tightened evenly around gasket.
Leakage/damage to water meter or piping may arise if bolts are overtightened.

Torque calculations
SITRANS MAG 8000

Installing/Mounting
All values are theoretical and are calculated on the assumption that:
● All bolts are new and material selection is according to EN 1515-1 table 2.
● Gasket material not exceeding 75 shore A is used between the water meter and mating
flanges.
● All bolts are galvanized and adequately lubricated.
● Flanges are made of carbon steel.
● Water meter and mating flanges are correctly aligned.

Data logger / Consumption alarm

The integrated data logger has 26 logging periods in which data can be stored daily, weekly
or monthly. The logger stores the consumption for totalizer 1 and totalizer 2 in the selected
period. Forward consumption is stored as a positive value and reverse consumption is stored
as a negative value. Alarm and meter status are also stored for the same period to indicate
alarms that have been active, or that revenue data has been influenced in the specific period.
The logged information has a time and date stamp. The data logger never stops storing data
- old data is overwritten following the first in/first out principle, i.e. log 1 is the last stored
information which is moved to log 2 when the next logging is made and so on.
The consumption alarm indicates that the actual consumption on totalizer 1 is above or below
the consumption limits.
Note
Invalid log date
If the log date "00.00.2000" is shown in the device display, the log period was never set.

The MAG 8000 Standard (7ME6810) and MAG 8000 CT (7ME6820) are factory-configured
for 6 years and MAG 8000 Irrigation (7ME6880) for 4 years of typical operation on internal
battery pack (2 D-cell). High or low temperature, frequent use of IrDA communication, high
pulse output rate, high excitation frequency in leakage detection mode, and use of add-on
communication module will reduce actual operation time.
The MAG 8000 power management function controls each power consuming element and
measures the temperature for optimal calculation of remaining battery power capacity.
SITRANS MAG 8000

Operation
Battery status and alarm indication

Battery power capacity for operation is indicated in 3 levels.
Figure 7-14 Battery status
● Full symbol indicates battery capacity is above battery alarm level (% preset parameter
206).
● Low symbol indicates that battery should be replaced; however, measurement will remain
active. Level is based on a preset alarm level.
● When low symbol is flashing, measurement and communication is disabled until battery
pack has been replaced and reset.
"Low battery" is a selectable % (parameter 206) of 100% full capacity. The meter calculates
the remaining capacity every four hours, including all consuming elements and the influence
of temperature changes.
Consumption and operation time calculation

Battery operation time depends on connected battery pack as well as operation conditions of
meter. Every 4 hours the advanced power management system calculates the real power
consumption and remaining operation capacity.
Power consumption calculation includes flow measurement, meter dialog (communication and
display) and pulse output.
Temperature is also measured to control and adjust its influence on the battery capacity.
The internal 2 D-cell battery pack has a nominal capacity of 33 Ah giving a typical operation
of 6 years for MAG 8000 Standard and MAG 8000 CT, and 4 years for MAG 8000 Irrigation.
SITRANS MAG 8000

Operation
The nominal capacity of external battery pack (4 D-cell) is 66 Ah and gives typically 10 years
operation time for MAG 8000 Standard and MAG 8000 CT, and 8 years for MAG 8000 Irrigation.

SITRANS MAG 8000

Operation
Battery configuration
The battery figures show power management information, which can be accessed via "Device"
→ "Power".
At each battery replacement the actual battery capacity is reset to 100% (parameters 508 to
510), which is then reduced with real meter consumption every 4 hours.
Power related alarm settings are located in "Alarm" group, e.g. "Battery limit" (parameter 206),
which is the level at which low power alarm is activated generating an alarm or call-up (if
configured), as well as low power fault related parameters 230 to 234.
When switching between battery power from the internal and the external battery packs,
"Battery power" (parameter 507) must be adjusted to match the actual number of batteries
connected.

Service and maintenance 8
8.1 Maintenance
The device is maintenance-free. However, a periodic inspection according to pertinent
directives and regulations must be carried out.
An inspection can include check of:
● Ambient conditions
● Seal integrity of the process connections, cable entries, and cover screws
● Reliability of power supply, lightning protection, and grounds
NOTICE
Repair and service must be carried out by Siemens authorized personnel only.
Note
Siemens defines flow sensors as non-repairable products.
8.2 MAG 8000 service guidelines

The MAG 8000 battery-operated water meters are based on a very reliable measurement
technology and the advanced alarm monitoring and diagnostics provide valuable information
concerning the meter performance, faults, and service conditions.
Optimal meter performance requires proper meter selection, proper installation, and proper
commissioning for the particular application. This service guideline section indicates how to
detect and solve the most common problems. Meter and application problems are indicated
by the alarm program via the main fault and warning symbol on the display and the
comprehensive data logging and monitoring available via the communication interface.
Alarm monitoring includes individual registration of each alarm, how many hours the alarm has
been active, when the alarm first appeared, and when it disappeared last. The alarm log can
be reset with its own date and time registration. A common fault hour counter includes all active
alarms in one counter. Additionally, active alarms are logged in the data logger to monitor when
the alarms have been activated.
Fatal faults 1 through 4 are the most important to resolve as they influence the operation of
the meter. Fatal faults will disappear as soon as the alarm condition is corrected.
SITRANS MAG 8000

Service and maintenance
8.3 Replacing transmitter or PCB board
8.3 Replacing transmitter or PCB board

Since the MAG 8000 and MAG 8000 CT do not have a removable SENSORPROM (EEprom),
special care must be taken when replacing a damaged or defective transmitter or PCB board
to ensure proper operation and continued accuracy. There are three ways to achieve an easy
and successful replacement meter:
1. Order a complete transmitter as a spare part, which comes configured the same way as
the original meter left the factory. The system serial number of the original meter must be
provided when ordering the replacement.
2. Order a complete transmitter as a spare part with default settings and a blank product label.
Final configuration is done on-site. Missing data and configuration can be uploaded from
the old meter or it can be read from the old meter product label.
3. Order only a replacement PCB board. The PCB board can only be ordered for basic or
advanced version with default settings. When making the configuration on site, the service
mode must be selected in the Flow Tool/SIMATIC PDM and the hardware lock key must
be mounted on PCB board to change important parameters.
Note
If MAG 8000 CT transmitter or sensor has to be replaced, a reverification of the whole meter
must be made to obtain custody transfer approval.

If not, normal operation will begin.
SITRANS MAG 8000

8.6 Verification
For setting up date and time, the different key function must be used - see Operator menu
(Page 62). An "A" indicates an acceptable value and a flashing "A" indicates that value is stored
when key is released.
Reset function also sets actual date as battery replacement date.
8.6 Verification
Verification mode increases measurement frequency to provide maximum measurements per
second. This function is especially useful to minimize calibration rig time when validating water
meter accuracy. Frame around digits will blink slowly to indicate that verification mode is
enabled. Maximum pulse rate on output A is increased to 1 kHz and pulse width is set to 0.5
ms. When verification mode is exited the previous pulse setting is restored. Pulse widths other
than 1 ms can be selected by storing new pulse values. This setting remains when verification
mode is exited.
Activation of verification mode

Verification mode is enabled in one of the following ways:
● Pressing verification button through hole in front screen or
● Writing integer ‘1’ to parameter 320 (Calibration mode).

Empty pipe detection

Electrode impedance is measured with 800 Hz at 50 Hz mains frequency (960 Hz at 60 Hz
mains frequency). This is done by toggling the electrode control pin every 6 respectively 5
samples – the sample frequency is 9600 Hz. The impedance value is averaged over 100
measurements. The electrode impedance A and B are measured in turns.
The unfiltered impedance value (a fast warning indication) is compared with a limit and the
empty pipe warning is reported when it exceeds this limit – but only if the detection is ON and
if there is no overload failure.
During empty pipe detection the coil current is held OFF and the flow value is forced zero.
Default settings for Electrode Impedance Limit is 25 000 ohm corresponding to a water
conductivity of 20 µS/cm (10 000 ohm ≈ 50 µS/cm)
SITRANS MAG 8000

Insulation test
Insulation measurement is working like the normal measurement by excitation of the magnetic
coils in the sensor. Value is checked against a limit of 1.25 mm/s. A value above this limit
results in a failure report.
Measurement will NOT stop if an insulation fault occurs.
Flow value is freezed during insulation test.
Insulation test interval according to register "Insulation Test Interval". Minimum 1 day between
tests.
The insulation test can be enabled/disabled with register "Insulation Test".
When the insulation test is enabled the test starts immediately. All following insulation tests
will start at 00:00:00 (midnight).
Duration of insulation test is 2 min 42 sec (1024 samples @ 6.25 Hz)
Insulation test will always be made with an excitation frequency of 6.25 Hz.
Note
Insulation test cannot be enabled in the MAG 8000 and MAG 8000 CT basic version.
Coil-current test
When H-bridge is turned and just before making samples (4 times each measurement), the
coil current is checked via a comparator. If the coil current is not settled, a failure is reported.
During coil current failure the flow value is forced zero.
Amplifier test
Overload is possible both from the AD conversion of sensor signal and from the pre-amplifier.
These checks are made at each sample and if one of the sample fails with an overload, this
measurement is cancelled and a failure is reported.
During overload detection the coil current is held OFF and the flow value is forced zero.
Checking facilities
The MAG 8000 and MAG 8000 CT are equipped with checking facilities of types P, I, and N.
(2.5.5 in OIML R49). The automatic checks are performed without operator intervention.
Type P permanent checking facilities are automatic checks performed constantly during meter
operation. They include:
● Coil current test
● Amplifier test
● Empty pipe test
● Flow overload
● Pulse overload
SITRANS MAG 8000

9.3 Flow simulation
Type I intermittent checking facilities are automatic checks performed at certain time intervals
or per fixed number of measurements. They include:
● Checksum calculation (10 min. interval on totalizer checksum)
● Insulation test (minimum 24 hour interval)
● Battery capacity check (4 hours interval)
Type N non-automatic checking facilities are checks that are not performed automatically
including all other diagnosis functions in the MAG 8000 and the MAG 8000 CT.
9.3 Flow simulation

MAG 8000 and MAG 8000 CT has a built-in flow simulator (parameters 551 and 552) to verify
and adjust pulse output to any connected device or system.
WARNING
Totalized values are changed during simulation and actual flow is NOT measured.
Simulation will stop automatically in 4 hours.
For MAG 8000 CT flow simulation is only possible when verification sealings are broken.

This chapter describes how the MAG 8000 and MAG 8000 CT outputs work.
SITRANS MAG 8000

Technical data
Output A and B as pulse volume
PW 5, 10, 50 100 & 500 mS
① Forward PR Pulse rate

② Reverse PF Pulse frequency
③ Cut-off PW Pulse width
MAG 8000
When output A or B is configured as volume per pulse, the output delivers a pulse when the
preset volume based on either Forward/Reverse or Net Forward/Net Reverse flow has passed
the sensor in the selected direction. The volume per pulse is freely scalable, from 0.000001
to 10 000 units per pulse, and should not exceed the pulse rate of the output configuration
table.
MAG 8000 CT
The volume per pulse is defined in the MAG 8000 CT version to 0.001 or 0.01 or 0.1 or 1 m3
per pulse.
Output B as alarm output
① Alarm output
② Alarm status
③ On - Off
④ No Error
MAG 8000
When output B is configured as an "alarm" output, it will follow the internal alarms that were
previously chosen in the Alarm Configuration List (Page 50).
Note
Alarm output is inverted to a pulse output providing an alarm if power disappears or cable
connection is interrupted.
SITRANS MAG 8000

Technical data
Output B as call-up output
① Call up output
② Call up reset
③ Call up status
④ On - Off
When output B is configured as "call-up", the output is activated by an alarm condition and
remains on until it is reset via meter display key or communication interface.
A new alarm will not activate a "call-up" function if the "call-up" function is still active from a
previous alarm.
Note
Like alarm output, call-up output inverts to a pulse output providing a call-up if power
disappears or cable connection is interrupted.
MAG 8000
When output B is configured as an "call-up" output, it will follow the internal alarms that were
previously chosen in the Alarm Configuration List.
Note
Call-up output is inverted to a pulse output providing an alarm if power disappears or cable
connection is interrupted.

Net flow output

The MAG 8000 has a special net pulse output that includes bi-directional flow calculations.
The example shows that over time, the net pulse output indicates the bi-directional totalizer
as calculated internally. The same principle applies for forward and reverse flow calculation.
By changing the status of the pulse output, the internal pulse calculator will be reset.

Encoder interface module is selected in MAG 8000, MAG 8000 CT and MAG 8000 Irrigation;
otherwise proper reading from the device cannot be performed.

To ensure continuous accurate measurement, water meters must be calibrated. The calibration
is conducted at Siemens flow facilities with traceable instruments referring directly to the
physical unit of measurement according to the International System of Units (SI).
Therefore, the calibration certificate ensures recognition of the test results worldwide, including
the US (NIST traceability).
SITRANS MAG 8000

Technical data
Siemens offers accredited calibrations assured to ISO 17025 in the flow range from 0.0001
m³/h to 10 000 m³/h.
Siemens Flow Instruments accredited laboratories are recognized by ILAC MRA (International
Laboratory Accreditation Corporation- Mutual Recognition Arrangement) ensuring
international traceability and recognition of the test results worldwide.
The selected calibration determines the accuracy of the water meter. A MAG 8000 (7ME6810)
standard calibration results in max. ±0.4% of rate ±2 mm/s uncertainty. A MAG 8000
(7ME6880) standard calibration results in max. ±0.8% of rate ±2.5 mm/s uncertainty. An
extended calibration of the MAG 8000 (7ME6810) sizes DN50 (2") to DN 300 (12") results in
a max. ±0.2% of rate ±2 mm/s uncertainty. A calibration certificate is included with every sensor

Meter status
Meter status parameter (120) gives a fast indication of reliability of revenue data.
It shows whether important information has been reset or manipulated, for instance if meter
has been powered down.
Status information can only be reset while hardware lock key is mounted.
SITRANS MAG 8000

Flow Tool
Data logger / Consumption alarm
The integrated data logger has 26 logging periods in which data can be stored daily, weekly
or monthly. The logger stores the consumption for totalizer 1 and totalizer 2 in the selected
period. Forward consumption is stored as a positive value and reverse consumption is stored
as a negative value. Alarm and meter status are also stored for the same period to indicate
alarms that have been active, or that revenue data has been influenced in the specific period.
The logged information has a time and date stamp. The data logger never stops storing data
- old data is overwritten following the first in/first out principle, i.e. log 1 is the last stored
information which is moved to log 2 when the next logging is made and so on.
The consumption alarm indicates that the actual consumption on totalizer 1 is above or below
the consumption limits.

Figure A-5 Battery configuration
At each battery replacement the capacity is reset to 100% (parameters 508 to 510) which is
then reduced with the real meter consumption every 4 hours.
The battery limit (parameter 206) is the level at which the low power alarm is activated
generating an alarm or call-up (if configured). The power status (parameter 513) follows the
battery symbol on the display.
When switching between battery power from internal and external battery packs, "Battery

Qualification certificate B
The qualification certificate is an enhancement of the PDM tool which enables printing of a
MAG 8000 status report using the MAG 8000 IrDA communication port and the MODBUS RTU
protocol.
Note
Scope
The MAG 8000 Qualification Certificate is a qualification report of device functionality and
NOT a tool for measurement accuracy verification like the MAG VERIFICATOR
(FDK-083F5060 or FDK-083F5061).
The MAG 8000 uses two main physical components for communication:
● The IrDA sensor on the MAG 8000
● An IrDA interface cable (with USB or RS 232 connector)
B.1 Commissioning
The qualification certificate is generated from PDM via the following steps:
1. Enabling insulation test
2. Uploading the device data to the PC
3. Generating the qualification certificate
Finally, the service technicians must evaluate the result.

Guidelines for selection of sensor

Normally the sensor is selected so that V lies within the measuring range 1 to 2 m/s (3 to 7 ft/
sec.).
● Min. measuring range: 0 to 0.25 m/s (0 to 0.8 ft/sec.)
● Max. measuring range: 0 to 10 m/s (0 to 33 ft/sec.)
Flow velocity calculation formula

● Metric measures:
V = 1273.24 x Q / Di2 (V: [m/s]; Q: [L/s]; Di: [mm])
or
V = 353.68 x Q / Di2 (V: [m/s]; Q: [m3/h]; Di: [mm])
● Imperial measures:
V = Q x 0.408 / (Pipe I.D.)2 (V: [ft/s]; Q: [GPM]; Pipe I.D.: [inch])
or
V = Q x 283.67 / (Pipe I.D.)2 (V: [ft/s]; Q: [MGD]; Pipe I.D.: [inch])
