The Signet 2552 Metal Magmeter from Georg Fischer features all-stainless steel construction. The PVDF nosepiece and FPM O-rings
are the only other wetted materials. The 2552 installs quickly into standard 1¼ in. or 1½ in. pipe outlets, and is adjustable to fi t pipes
from DN50 to DN2550 (2 to 102 inches). Three sensor lengths allow maximum fl exibility to accommodate a variety of hardware
confi gurations, including ball valves for hot-tap installations.
When equipped with the frequency output, the 2552 is compatible with any Signet fl ow instrument, while the S3L Digital output enables
multi-channel compatibility with the Signet 8900 Multi-Parameter Flow Controller. Select the blind 4 to 20 mA current output to interface
directly with dataloggers, PLCs or telemetry systems.
Key features include Empty Pipe Detection, LED-assisted troubleshooting, and Bi-Directional span capability (in 4 to 20 mA models).
The Signet 3-0250 USB to Digital (S3L) Confi guration/Diagnostic Tool is available to customize every performance feature in the 2552
so it can be adapted to the user's application requirements.

3. Selecting a Location
The 2552 requires a fully developed turbulent fl ow profi le for accurate measurement. Selecting the correct location in the piping system
is critical to the performance of the magmeter.
Locate the magmeter where air bubbles will not contact the electrodes.
Placing the sensor in a vertical section of pipe, with fl ow going UPHILL is the fi rst choice for this requirement.
The piping system should be designed to keep the sensor wet at all times.
In applications where the conductivity of the process liquid is less than 100 S, magmeters should be allowed to soak in a full pipe for
24 hours before operation.
3.1 Vertical Installations Recommended
Locating the sensor where the fl ow is upward protects the sensor from exposure to air bubbles and may offset upstream turbulence
caused by pipe conditions and other hardware.
O.K.
+
GF

3.2 Horizontal Installations
If the magmeter must be mounted in a horizontal section of pipe, take extra precautions to prevent air bubbles from passing over the
sensor.

Select a location with suffi cient distance of straight pipe immediately upstream of the sensor. The dimensions illustrated here are

Located the magmeter in a "trap" to prevent air bubbles and to
keep the electrodes wetted for best performance.
Air pockets and bubbles will travel at the top of a horizontal pipe,
so avoid vertical installations.
Sediments and debris that collect at the bottom of a horizontal
pipe will interference with the operation.

4. General Installation and Grounding Tips
→
4.1 Sensor conditioning
The Magmeter output signal may be unstable immediately after installation. Allowing the sensor to soak in a full pipe (or in any
container of water) for 24 hours will stabilize the performance.
• Very low conductivity fl uids may require a longer conditioning period.
• The Magmeter may not operate properly in fl uids where the conductivity is less than 20 μS/cm.
4.2 Grounding
The 2552 Magmeter is unaffected by moderate levels of electrical noise, especially if installed in a properly grounded metal piping
system. However, in some applications it may be necessary to ground portions of the system to eliminate electrical interference. The
grounding requirements will vary with each installation.
One or more of the following steps may be applied if the 2552 Magmeter is affected by electrical noise:
c Connect a wire (14 AWG/2.08 mm
2
recommended) from the ground terminal screw on the sensor nut directly to a local Earth
ground.
d Install fl uid grounding devices immediately upstream and downstream of the Magmeter.
Connect the fl uid grounds to the Earth ground terminal on the 2552.
Use fl anged grounding rings or metal electrodes on plastic pipes, or metal clamps on metal pipes.Fluid grounds must be in direct contact with the fl uid, and as near to the Magmeter as possible.
e Connect the SHIELD conductor to Earth ground near the instrument.

4.3 Preparing for Installation
The alignment of the electrodes in the pipe and the insertion depth of the electrodes in relation to the inside diameter of the pipe are
critical to the successful operation and calibration of the system. The brass rod that is supplied with the 2552 is used to assist with this
requirement.
4.4 H-Dimension
The H-dimension is the distance from the TOP OF THE PIPE to the BOTTOM OF THE BRASS ROD.
The tables on pages 8–11 include the H-dimension for two of the most common pipe schedules from DN50 to DN2550 (2 in. to 102 in.).
If the pipe is not represented in the tables on pages 8–11, use the procedure below to determine the H-dimension.
The goal of the procedure is to place the Magmeter electrodes 10% inside of the pipe
1. The height from the magmeter electrodes to the alignment rod is:
-2 Versions: 276.3 mm ( 10.88 in. )
-3 Versions: 419.0 mm ( 16.50 in. )
2. Subtract the wall thickness of the pipe:
- Wall Thickness: -_____ mm ( ______ in.)
3. Subtract 10% of the pipe inside diameter:
- 10% of pipe id: -_____ mm ( ______ in.)
4. The result is the H-dimension. Record the result here for reference at the installation site:
= H dimension: =_____ mm ( ______ in.)
Hardware stack height is important
The H-dimension represents the total height
avaliable for the installation hardware.
H Dimension
If there is insuffi cient clearance to accommodate
the hardware, select a longer 2552 Magmeter or
modify the hardware to reduce the stack height.

5. Magmeter Installation
The following items are required to properly install the Magmeter:
Supplied with 2552 Magmeter:
• Ruler
• Brass alignment rod
• H-dimension value for your pipe (See pages 6–9)
• Hex wrench
• 2 clamp rings
• Grounding screw
Not supplied with the 2552 Magmeter:
• Female pipe fi tting (weld-on or saddle) with:
1¼ in. NPT or ISO 7/Rc 1¼ threads (2552-2)
1½ in. NPT or ISO 7/Rc 1½ threads (2552-3)
• 1¼ in. or 1½ in. ball valve (for hot tap installations)
• 32 mm (1¼ in.) or 40 mm (1½ in.) diameter drill
• Pipe thread sealant suitable for application
• Pipe wrench
• 32 mm (1¼ in.) pipe nipple
• 32 mm (1¼ in.) ball valve
• 32 mm (1¼ in.) drill bit
1. Determine the H-dimension for the pipe.
• The tables on pages 8–11 list the H-dimension metal pipe per ANSI 36.10 and ANSI 36.19.
• Use the procedure on page 5 to determine the H-dimension for other types of pipe.
2. Prepare the pipe:
a. Cut a 32 mm (1¼ in.) opening in the pipe.
b. Install a 1¼ in. (for 2552-1, 2552-2) or 1½ in. (for 2552-3) outlet onto the pipe.
This fi tting must withstand pressures up to 20 bar (300 psi).
• For Hot-tap installations:Thread a matching pipe nipple and ball valve into the outlet.
Use a suitable paste or sealing tape to provide a leakproof connection.
Hot- tap drilling requires special tools and skills.
This task should only be performed by qualifi ed personnel.
Position the ball valve handle so it is parallel to the pipe.
This will prevent the valve handle from interfering with
the adjustment and alignment of the magmeter.
• Remember to tilt the magmeter to avoid air bubbles.
3. Install the Magmeter into the pipe
a. Apply sealing tape or paste to the male threads of the process
connector nut.
b. Tighten the process connector into the pipe.
• Do not damage the locking set screw when using tools.
• The sensor is marked to identify the downstream alignment.
The arrow MUST point DOWNSTREAM.
• Hold the outer sensor housing securely while threading the
process connector nut into the fi tting. This will prevent the cable
from becoming twisted around the sensor while the process
connector is tightened into the pipe.
c. Loosen the set screw in the process connector nut.
d. Rotate the Acme threaded outer housing until the fl ow arrow is
aligned in the proper direction.
e. Secure the set screw suffi ciently to prevent the outer housing from
spinning.
Do not tighten the set screw yet. It may require additional
adjustment.

Sensor Selection Guide
The 2552 Magmeter can be installed into a variety of pipe sizes. Follow the steps below
to ensure that you choose the right sensor for your application.
Step 1: Determine how the sensor will be installed
A. For standard (non Hot-Tap) installations:
The height of the weldolet (threadolet) and pipe adapter(s) should be determined before
the sensor is purchased.
• For retrofit installations, the stack
height, or “A” dimension (see Fig. 1), is
the overall height from the top of the
pipe to the highest point of the stack
before the sensor is connected.
• For new installations, Signet
recommends a weldolet (threadolet)
and an adapter to accommodate the
1¼ in. (or 1½ in. for 2552-3) sensor
process threads. The stack height,
or “A” dimension (see Fig. 1), is the
overall height from the top of the pipe
to the highest point of the stack.
B. For Hot-Tap installations:
The stack height of the ball valve, nipple weldolet (threadolet) and pipe adapters should
be determined before the sensor is purchased.
• For retrofit installations, the ball valve
must be at least a 1¼ in. (or 1½ in.
for 2552-3) full port valve. The stack
height, or “A” dimension (see Fig. 2), is
the overall height from the top of the
pipe to the top of the ball valve, or the
top of the highest point of the stack
• For new installations, Signet
recommends a 1¼ in. or 1½ in. full
port ball valve, a short nipple and
a weldolet (threadolet). The stack
height or “A” dimension (see Fig. 2) is
the overall height from the top of the
pipe to the top of the ball valve.
before the sensor is connected.
Step 2: Determine how the sensor will be installed
Once the “A” dimension is determined, go to the sensor selection table and find your “A”
dimension on the left column. Next, find the appropriate pipe size at the top of the chart.
To determine the correct sensor size locate where the pipe size column meets the max
“A” dimension row.
