Flow Measurement & Control


Battery-powered electromagnetic flowmeter

June 2010 Flow Measurement & Control

Czech-based Arkon has launched its new MAGB1 battery-powered electromagnetic flowmeter. Powered by two 3,6 V lithium batteries placed inside the transmitter, this new addition to the range makes it possible to install a reliable flowmeter without sacrificing accuracy or performance even where mains power is not available. Battery life is up to five years and communication is via USB using MODBUS RTU protocol. Compact and remote versions are available (cable length limited to 6 metres for remote version).

Some of the features of the MAG B1 include: accuracy ±0,5% of actual value; graphic display and keypad for simple operation and instant access to information of totalisers; error detection; empty pipe detection; two built-in earthing electrodes; isolated binary output (pulse per litre or alarm functions); data-logger and adjustable filter constants.

All units include a calibration certificate issued by an independent calibration rig, traceable to international standards; calibration data is also stored inside the sensor.
