3-3 : How to use model with an Elbow Flange
When no weir plate can be installed on the downstream side of a detector, use a
model with an Elbow ange.
(a) The water level (+ 7mm) can be adjusted since the elbow ange length can
be changed. A water level error caused by the use of a dummy detector can be
corrected by adjusting the arm.

(b) The measurement range can be increased in provision for a future ow rate
increase by installing a model with an elbow ange (with cover).
The cover can be mounted and removed easily with a buttery screw.

3-4 : How to use the Dummy detector
The measurable ow rate can be doubled, tripled, or quadrupled by installing 1,2,3
dummy detectors, respectively. A detector must be combined with dummy detectors
of the similar shape. If the ow rate is to be increased in future, the measurable
range can be expanded easily by installing a model with an elbow ange. (with a

4 : Installation
4-1 : Considerations on installation
Before the installation of a open channel type electromagnetic owmeter, observe
the following considerations.
• If you are asking a subcontractor to install a owmeter, you are advised to check
the procedure of installation work in writing in advance.
• Protect the ends of the dedicated cables attached to the body from water by
wrapping them with tape.
• When locating a owmeter on a gate, assign one worker to the upstream side
of the gate and another to the downstream side. Suspend the owmeter with a
chain block and lock its body with bolts with the specied tightening torque. Make
sure that the electrode is situated horizontally.
• Ground the owmeter with the grounding terminal. (The placement of the
grounding terminal is shown in Figure 11.)
• After mounting a detector, make sure that neither the body, nor the cables are
damaged.
• The gate board on which the elbow ange–type detector and dummy detectors
are installed must bear the weight of the detectors and of the water that ows
through them. Therefore, use a board that is strong enough and that will not
warp. If the gate board warps, leakage will occur between the board and the
detectors, and measurement will be incorrect.
• When removing and reinstalling the submersible electromagnetic owmeter from
the gate board for replacement, recalibration, or other purposes, check that the
board is not deformed and that there is no rust or foreign matter on the sealant
between the board and the detector.
MagneW PLUS+ Electromagnetic Flowmeter Open channel Flowmeter Detector 17
4-2 : Transportation of owmeter to the installation site
• Weigh the owmeter and post the weight in a place where one can see it.
• Check to see if a crane can be used.
• If rollers are to be used for moving a owmeter, encase the owmeter in a
wooden frame.
• Provide a chain block scaolding.
• Use a jack or a stepladder if necessary.

5 : Wiring
5-1 : Considerations on wiring
(a) Since the root of the 4-core cabtyre cable (including cores for signal and
excitation) is a watertight structure, do not pull them.
(b) The standard length of each cable of the detector is 10m. If the cable length
between a detector and a converter is over 10m, use a cable connection box
(Model No. NNZ 102-X-X)*. (See Figure 9.) Since the uid conductivity of the
water and drain is over 100 mS/cm, the cable can be extended to a maximum
of 100m. * Optional (Model SMC 11-HC)
(c) Make sure that the cable between the detector and the converter is laid at a
place where it cannot be damaged.
(d) Screw the tightening gland into the wire connection port of the converter in
order to ensure airtightness between the cabtyle cable and the wire connection
port.
(e) Cable should be as far from a large current cable as possible, and they should
not be laid in parallel.

In addition, electronic components such as electrolytic capacitors will reach the end of their life due to aged deterioration based on
the conditions or environment in which such electronic components are used. Although acceleration of the above situation varies
depending on the conditions or environment of use, the number of open/close operations of relays, etc. as prescribed in specifications
or instruction manuals, or depending on the design margin of your machine or equipment, you are required to renew any Azbil
Corporation’s products every 5 to 10 years unless otherwise specified in specifications or instruction manuals. System products, field
instruments (sensors such as pressure/flow/level sensors, regulating valves, etc.) will reach the end of their life due to aged deterioration
of parts. For those parts that will reach the end of their life due to aged deterioration, recommended replacement cycles are prescribed.
You are required to replace parts based on such recommended replacement cycles.
6. Other precautions
Prior to your use of Azbil Corporation’s products, you are required to understand and comply with specifications (e.g., conditions and
environment of use), precautions, warnings/cautions/notices as set forth in the technical documents prepared for individual Azbil
