1. Introduction

1.1. Operating Principle

The measurement is based on the principle of Faraday‘s law on

electromagnetic induction in which an electric voltage is induced

in an electrically conductive body that moves in a magnetic field.

Liquid flows through a tube in the direction of the magnetic field.

Liquid with a certain minimum electrical conductivity induces a

voltage which is detected by two electrodes located in a 90 degree

angle from the magnetic field and the flow direction.

1.2. Applications

2. Installation

2.1. Remote or Compact?

Any MagX1 flowmeter can be delivered in two versions; Compact or Remote. The compact

version has the transmitter unit connected directly to the sensor body. This version does not

require any further mounting or installation of the transmitter.

The remote version has a separated transmitter. It is connected to the sensor with a cable. The

cable entry into the sensor is protected by a junction box, which can be potted to IP68 (page 7).

The cable entry on the transmitter side is through a M16x1,5 gland.

The cable type used for the connection between sensor and transmitter for remote versions:

UNITRONIC® LiYCY (TP) 0035 830, 2x2x0,5

The MagX1 is equipped with an electronic board located inside the sensor neck. This board

sends a digital signal to the transmitter, unlike traditional flowmeters, which send an analogue

signal. This allows the MagX1 to carry its signal over much longer distances than conventional

flowmeters; up to 500m is possible.

2.2. Sensor installation

Sensor dimensions can be found on page 47

Proper sensor installation is extremely important in order for your flowmeter to work correctly.

Below, you will find minimum sensor installation requirements that need to be respected at all

time.

Sensor installation requirements

All MagX1 sensors are supplied with a built in earthing electrode which is sufficient for all

applications with metal pipes and tanks. However on applications where all pipes and

tanks are manufactured from plastic, it is recommended that earthing rings are also

installed to ensure the maximum resistance of the sensor to earth is <1 ohm.

2.3. Dry liner

Flowmeters with a Hard Rubber liner can show incorrect readings during the first 2-3 days after

installation. This is due to the fact that the time needed for transport and the time before

installation is long enough for the liner to dry out , and thus it changes shape/size. This change,

in effect, affects reading accuracy. Simply be keeping the meter wet, this problem solve itself

within 2-3 days and no other action is required at all.

2.4. Installation of the transmitter

In case of a compact flowmeter version, the transmitter will need no

further installation, and should be ready for use.

In case of a remote version, the following 4 steps are necessary.

Mount the transmitter to a wall, panel, or DIN-rail.

Wall mounting:

DIN-rail mounting:

Panel mounting:

The electronics have to be

protected against direct

sunlight and high

temperatures!

The transmitter housing

should be exposed to

minimal mechanical

strain only (max. 1kg)!


Connect the transmitter to the signal cable from the sensor. To do

this, first open the transmitter housing by disconnecting the two parts of

the transmitter housing with the metal “key” that is provided with the

meter.

After the meter is opened, pull the signal cable through the cable gland on the bottom of the

transmitter housing (see page 3).

Connect the connector at the end of the signal cable from the sensor to the transmitter circuit

board.

Connect the transmitter to network power.

Electrical installation should only be done by a qualified person. Standard safety

regulations for hazardous electrical installations have to be respected.

The customer is assumed to supply its own network power supply cable (90-250VAC, 24VDC or

12VDC, depending on the type of power supply ordered with the flowmeter). Before connecting

to network power, the cable needs to be properly connected to the transmitter.

First pull the cable end through one of the cable glands (ideally the first on the left looking at the

transmitter housing from the back-side) on the bottom of the transmitter.

3x1mm recommended cable.

After connecting the power cable, close the housing and connect the cable to network power.

This will make the flowmeter switch on.

Set up the transmitter for use.

You are now ready to start using your flowmeter or to customize its settings as per your

requirements. For example;

- Set-up the measurement unit of flow-rate displayed, e.g. m3/hr.

- Set up of the unit for the volume displayed. For all volume counters this same unit will be used.


2.5. Module installation

- Always check if the module does not have a bent or broken pin, before placing it in the

correct module slot of the MagX1 motherboard.

- Always make sure you place the module in the correct slot of the motherboard! The

name that is written on the module itself has to match the name written next to the slot. For

example, the picture below indicates the correct slot for the F -out module. Placing the

module in an incorrect slot can cause damage to the module and the motherboard, and

has to be avoided by careful module installation!


- Check whether you are placing the module in the correct position. It does matter how you

turn the module to fit the slot! The white line around the actual slot on the motherboard

indicates the correct position of installation. The bevelled corner should be your point of

orientation (note the picture below).

- Now you can place the module in its slot:

These are examples of incorrect installations:

Example one: The F-out Module is placed in a different slot

Example two: The F-out Module is placed in the incorrect slot, and with the bevelled corner in

the wrong direction.

Any connection or disconnection of any module has to be done with network power

to the meter switched off.


2.6. Cables connections

The following diagram shows the connections of the cables between sensor and

transmitter.

2.7. Potting the remote sensor terminal box

To guarantee IP68 protection of the sensor, it is necessary to pot the sensor terminal box

properly. The proper way to do this is described below:

Plug the connectors into the sensor (white and green wire adjacent).

Screw the small terminal box to the sensor neck (4 screws).

Fill the terminal box completely with silicone, by squeezing it through the opening on

top of the box.

Close the small terminal box with the sealing screw.

Transmitter UnitTransmitter “MagX1

Transmitter Unit”

The MagX1 Transmitter unit is the main part of the flowmeter. It consists of the MagX1

motherboard, a graphical display, touch-button controls and a transmitter housing.

Through the display and with help of the push buttons, you can go through the various menu’s

for data reading, configuration and setup of your flowmeter.

The following symbols are used in this manual and on the

flowmeter display.

RIGHT

Touch-buttons are working on capacitance principle therefore any conductive material close to

button's area will cause button press. Even water can do it so its strongly recommended to use

keylock when any presence of water is expected. 30 seconds after turning the flowmeter on,

touch-buttons autocalibration is started so function of the touch-buttons may be unstable.

The MagX1 transmitter has a keylock possibility. You can lock touch-

buttons by touching both the Esc and Enter together for longer than 1sec.

This will lock the flowmeter and there will be a lock symbol on display.

Touching the buttons will have no effect on flowmeters function. To

unlock buttons touch Esc and Enter together again. If flowmeter is in cleaning electrode there is

a lightning symbol on display.

Upon starting the flowmeter, you will automatically see the main screen of the menu.

3.1. Main screen

Total Volume

This is the total volume counter; the sum of all historical flows for a

particular flowmeter. The user is not able to zero this counter without

use of the service password. Direction of flow is ignored for this

counter (negative flow is calculated the same way as positive flow).

Positive Volume

This counter is only credited when the measured medium is flowing in

the chosen positive direction. In case the flow is 0, or if it is flowing in

the opposite (negative) direction, the number on the counter remains

the same.

Negative Volume

This counter works the same way as the positive volume counter, yet

in the opposite direction. In case the flow is 0, or flowing in the

designated positive direction, the number on this counter will remain

the same.


Auxiliary Volume

This is a 2nd

total volume counter. It works the same as the Total

Volume counter, yet with the only difference being that it can be reset

to 0 at any time, with User Settings password. Temperature

This item is a temperature indication for the measured medium.

You can cycle through these 5 indication screens by pressing the buttons on the transmitter.

It is possible to change the number of digits of the values displayed in the main screen:

Memory Module Memory Module

“Memory

Module”


For proper functioning of this module, the

Real-Time Clock (RTC) Module is

prerequisite.

Important: Before you save your first data, you need to

set the correct time and date; else all saved

data will be without proper time reference!

To be able to do this, you also need to use the

MagX1 RTC (Real-Time Clock) Module.

(page 32)

These values can be uploaded to a PC with the help of special software, which is supplied

together with the configuration SW and the manual.

If capacity runs out before all data is deleted from memory, then the module will

automatically overwrite the oldest values with new ones! In case memory is used, it has to be

“cleaned” at least once every year (Datalogger Delete function), else older data will be lost.

The Memory Module has sufficient capacity for storing flow-data for a 12-month operation

period without overwriting older data.

Save intervals:

- 5-minute interval record of flow averages (8928 samples in 1 month)

- 1-hour interval record of total flow (744 samples in 1 month)

- 24-hour interval record of total flow (31 samples in 1 month)

- Monthly interval record of total flow (1 sample in 1 month)

You can view this data in menu 1.2. Flow Statistics (3.4. Flow statistic menu; page 13)

20. How to order your MagX1

In case you are interested in purchasing a MagX1 flowmeter, you can either contact the Arkon

Sales Department and request a quote to serve as a basis for ordering, or you can use the Arkon

price-list as an easy order form. Due to the design of the MagX1, no single ordering code exists;

all modules you would like to add to your order have to be added individually. Only the MagX1

sensor has its own ordering code:

22. Sensor and transmitter versions and compatibility.

It is possible to check the version of each MagX1 in info menu> Firmware No. (see point 3.3).

When changing the communication module, please check the firmware version to know if they

are compatible.

Firmware version also determines if the unit includes automatic electrodes cleaning or

MODBUS communication and if it is compatible with Bluetooth module.

MagX1 offers the option of updating the firmware version using RS232 communication module,

using MagX1 firmware updater software. That is available from Firmware version v.1.12 or

superior.
