New Electromagnetic Flowmeter

Arkon (Czech Republic) are pleased to announce the launch of their new MAGB1 battery powered electromagnetic flowmeter. This new addition to the range makes it possible to install a reliable flowmeter virtually anywhere, without sacrificing accuracy or performance if mains power is not available. It is powered by 2 x 3.6V lithium batteries placed inside the transmitter. Battery life is up to 5 years. Communication is done via USB using MODBUS RTU protocol. Compact and remote versions are available (cable length limited to 6 meters for remote version).

The MAGB1 offers high levels of accuracy (± 0.5% of actual value). It includes a graphic display and keypad for simple operation and instant access to information of 4 totalisers: total +, total -, total and aux. The graphic display turns off automatically when it is not being used for battery conservation. Additionally the MAGB1 includes error detection and empty pipe detection and it automatically turns off the excitation to prolong battery life. Two built-in earthing electrodes offer standard USB interface communication via MODBUS RTU for configuration and data collection using MAGB1 software. Also included is an isolated binary output (pulse per liters or alarm or flowrate functions) a data logger that can store 1820 records, selectable interval of logging (5min - 24h) and adjustable filter constants 1 – 30 samples. All units include a calibration certificate issued by an independent calibration rig, traceable to international standards, and calibration data is stored inside the sensor.
