Operating Instructions

The GF Signet 2580 FlowtraMag is a full-bore plastic PVC in line style magnetic owmeter.

The PVC body with titanium or Hastelloy
three times lighter in weight compared to traditional metal magmeters on the market. It is

designed for high accuracy ow measurement in short pipe runs, making it an ideal solution

for industrial applications where performance and ease of use are important.

The FlowtraMag is available in pipe sizes of DN25 (1 in.), DN50 (2 in.) and DN100 (4 in.),

optimized for performance in short pipe runs often associated with nal e󰀪uent lines, well

heads and water treatment skids.

Features include:

• No moving parts

• No pressure drop

• Lighter in weight compared to traditional metal magmeters

• Reduced straight run requirements, ideal for nal e󰀪uent lines, well heads and skids

• Factory calibrated with certicate (±1% of reading accuracy)

• Partially lled pipe detection status indicator

• Visual LED indicators make sensor status clear and easy to read

• Reverse ow direction congurable with 0252 Conguration Tool or GF Cong Tool

Bluetooth

• One device with three di󰀨erent outputs: eld selectable Frequency or Digital (S³L),

and analog 4 to 20 mA

Refer to your local Georg Fischer Sales o󰀩ce for the most

current warranty statement.

All warranty and non-warranty repairs being returned must
include a fully completed Service Form and goods must be
returned to your local GF Sales o󰀩ce or distributor.
Product returned without a Service Form may not be
warranty replaced or repaired.

Signet products with limited shelf-life (e.g. pH, ORP, chlorine

electrodes, calibration solutions; e.g. pH bu󰀨ers, turbidity

standards or other solutions) are warranted out of box but not
warranted against any damage, due to process or application
failures (e.g. high temperature,
mishandling (e.g. broken glass,

chemical poisoning, dry-out) or

damaged membrane, freezing

and/or extreme temperatures).

Georg Fischer Signet products are manufactured in a variety of
wetted materials to suit various liquids and chemicals.

All plastic materials including typical piping types (PVC) are more
or less permeable to contained media, such as water or volatile

substances, including some acids. This e󰀨ect is not related to
porosity, but purely a matter of gas di󰀨usion through the plastic.

If the plastic material is compatible with the medium according
to the application guidelines, the permeation will not damage
the plastic itself. However, if the plastic encloses other sensitive
components, as is the case with GF Signet FlowtraMag meter,

these may be a󰀨ected or damaged by the media di󰀨using

through the plastic body.

Unit is factory shipped congured to measure water.

Safety Information

1. Depressurize and vent system prior to installation or removal.

2. Conrm chemical compatibility before use.

3. DO NOT exceed maximum temperature or pressure specs.

4. ALWAYS wear safety goggles or face shield during
installation and/or service.

5. DO NOT alter product construction.

6. If this equipment is used in a manner not specied by the
manufacturer, the protection provided by the equipment may
be impaired

7. This device is not approved for use or installation in
hazardous locations.

Caution / Warning / Danger

Vertical Pipe Runs

To ensure pipe is owing full with some back pressure, it is highly recommended that the uid ows upward.

Gravity and Discharge Lines

It is recommended to install a u-trap to ensure the pipe remains full at all times, and to minimize air bubbles.

A vacuum breaker may be required downstream of the FlowtraMag to ensure pipe doesn't drain and ll with air.

Vertical flow is OK IF the
pipe remains FULL

Sensor Pipe Installation

1. Choose a mounting location that satises

the requirements.

2. Select appropriate (Metric or ASTM) union
end for installation

3. Install sensor with ow arrow pointing in
the direction of ow.

Note: Gland ttings should point upstream

of ow.

Application Tip: For Metric pipe
installation, change union end to Metric.

Wiring Conguration

When using the 2580 FlowtraMag with frequency or Digital (S3L), all of the connections from the 2580 FlowtraMag
to external equipment (PLC, Datalogger, Chart Recorder, Flow meter, etc.) are made using the red and white wires.
See wiring diagrams for further details.

Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC) Recommendations

Complex instrumentation systems such as the 2580 FlowtraMag and the associated devices may face challenges involving
Electromagnetic Interference (EMI). EMI interference may be coupled to the system via cables (conducted interference) or
broadcast via electrical radiation (radiated interference).
Radiated interference may be mitigated by relocating the source or increasing the distance from the source. Metal shielding may be
used.

Conducted interference can be mitigated by careful wiring practices. Because EMI may follow multiple paths, it will be necessary to

observe the e󰀨ectiveness of various grounding options.

2580 FlowtraMag Power Cable

• In electrically noisy environments, connect the power cable shield (drain) wire to a clean low impedance earth ground.

• If there is a single power supply for all 2580 FlowtraMag system components (Instruments, PLCs and VFDs), route signal
wiring directly to the instruments. Do not use ground points common to other wiring. Avoid creating ground loops.

• If separate power supplies are used, connect all power grounds to a common low impedance ground.

2580 FlowtraMag Output Cable

• In electrically noisy environments, connecting the Signal Output cable shield (drain) wire to a clean low impedance earth

ground may help reduce signal noise and preserve communication. Observe the di󰀨erence between connecting or not

connecting the shield. Avoid creating ground loops.

Frequency/S3L Output

- The S3L/Frequency cable shares the ground with the 2580 FlowtraMag Power Supply. Use a common DC power supply

for the 2580 FlowtraMag and the ow instrument.

4 to 20 mA Output

- If the 4 to 20 mA is used to control a highly inductive load such as a Variable Freq Drive or a DC motor, use separate DC

power supplies for the 2580 FlowtraMag and the 4 to 20 mA device, active mode should be used.

- In Passive mode the 2580 FlowtraMag loop output cable shares the ground with the 2580 FlowtraMag Power Supply.

Use the same DC power supply for the 2580 FlowtraMag and the 4 to 20 mA device.

- In Active mode the 2580 FlowtraMag loop output cable is isolated from the 2580 FlowtraMag Power Supply. The 4 to 20

mA device can use a di󰀨erent Power Supply.

Wiring Conguration Continued

Recommended:

The directional arrow should be pointed
DOWNSTREAM for correct operation. If the 2580
FlowtraMag is installed on a vertical pipe, the cable
ports should be turned to point downward. This will
prevent condensation from being channeled into
the enclosure.

Application Tip:

If your ow is in the reverse direction, it is possible to set
up reverse ow via the GF Signet 0252 Conguration
Tool or GF Cong Tool App.
