3.1 Selecting a Location
• The magmeter requires a full pipe and a fully developed turbulent fl ow profi le for
accurate measurement.
• If the piping system harbors air pockets or bubbles, take steps to locate the sensor
so the air pockets will not contact the electrodes.
• In vertical installations, assemble the unit so the conduit ports are facing downward.
This prevents condensation inside the conduit from being directed into the
electronics housing.
• Chemical injection systems can temporarily alter the fl uid conductivity and cause
anomalies in the magmeter measurement.
To avoid this problem, install the Magmeter UPSTREAM of the injection point.

Select a location with suffi cient distance of
straight pipe immediately upstream of the
sensor.
Locating the sensor in a trap or where the fl ow
is upward helps to protect the sensor from
exposure to air bubbles when the system is in
operation.
These confi gurations are not recommended
because it is diffi cult to keep the pipe full.
3.2 Empty Pipe Detection
In a gravity-fl ow system, the tank must be designed
so the level does not drop below the outlet.
This causes the pipe to draw air in from the tank.
If air bubbles pass across the Magmeter electrodes,
the output will become erratic.

4.0 Overview of Display Magmeter
Display Magmeters use a dual-sided electronics module and dual conduit ports. Unused ports must be sealed to prevent corrosion and
moisture from entering the circuitry.
1 The lower set of conduit ports provide access to the wiring terminals for:
• Loop Power
• Flow Output Signal, whether it is a current loop, a frequency or the Mirror Relay 1 output.
2 The upper set of conduit ports provide access to the wiring terminals for:
• Relay output wiring
• Auxiliary power for relay coils and display backlight
3 The sensor is marked with a directional arrow to indicate the direction identifi ed as forward fl ow.
An adhesive decal is also provided that can be affi xed to the pipe to indicate the direction of forward fl ow.
Flow in the opposite direction from the arrow will be identifi ed as reverse fl ow on the display by a "-" symbol.
4 The terminals in the magmeter are designed to accomodate 14 to 22 AWG conductors.
5 The display includes two LEDs that light when Relay 1 or Relay 2 are activated.
• All three relays can be monitored by scrolling to the Relay Status display located in the View
English >
menu.
• If the Language option has not been made, new magmeters will always open with the Select Language display.
6 The part number, serial number and output type are identifi ed on the electronics module.

5.5 Wiring Relays
Relay 1, Relay 2 Type: Mechanical SPDT
Rating: 5A @ 30 VDC max., 5 A @ 250 VAC max
Relays 1 and 2 are dry contact relays rated for 5 A maximum current.
Relays 1 and 2 are best suited for switching high voltage loads, such as AC
powered pumps and valves.
When used to switch inductive loads, dry contact relays may be damaged by
arcing. Omega recommends the installation of a fi lter device to prevent such
damage.
FP90RC RC Filter kit (for relay use)
Relay 3 Type: Solid State
Rating: 50 mA @ 30 VDC, 50 mA @ 42 VAC
Relay 3 is a solid state relay. It can be applied exactly the same as a dry
contact relay, but the current rating is 0.2 A (200 mA) maximum. Relay 3 is
best suited to pulse applications and low voltage loads.

7.1 Averaging and Sensitivity
Even the most carefully engineered fl ow systems may experience
erratic and unstable conditions. If the instability is communicated
to the output functions, the results may create problems for
control devices.
To alleviate these issues, the magmeter provides two adjustments
that operate in tandem. The information here will help in
determining the appropriate settings for any specifi c application.
Averaging
• The AVERAGING setting dictates the time over which the
magmeter will average the fl ow signal.
The LCD display is updated every second. With averaging at
14 seconds, the fl ow rate on the display is an average of the
previous 14 seconds input.
Short averaging times provide the fastest display and output
response to changes in the fl ow rate.
Higher averaging times help to smooth the display and
current output where the fl ow in the pipe is erratic or unstable
due to installation limitations.
Sensitivity
• The SENSITIVITY setting determines how the magmeter
responds to sudden surges in the fl ow rate. It "overrides"
the Averaging function just long enough to allow an actual
change in fl ow rate to be displayed, then resumes the
averaging. The result is a smooth fl ow display and a quick
response to large shifts in the fl ow rate.
No Averaging
With AVERAGING set to zero, the fl ow rate will be displayed
immediately and with no fi ltering. This line represents the
actual output of the fl ow sensor as it responds to unstable fl ow
conditions in the pipe.
Velocity
Time
10 s20 s30 s40 s50 s60 s70 s
Averaging Only
With AVERAGING set to 50 seconds and SENSITIVITY still set to
zero the fl ow rate is stabilized, but a sharp change in fl ow rate is
not represented on the display or at the output for 50 seconds or
longer.
Velocity
The settings for Sensitivity represent a percentage of the
magmeter's maximum range, or 10 m/s.
Example: A sensitivity setting of 25% means that the fl ow rate
must change instantly and by more than 2.5 m/s before the
function is enabled.
NOTE: The SENSITIVITY function is ineffective if the Averaging
function is set to zero.
CAUTION
The SENSITIVITY function changes the response
characteristics of the magmeter. If used as part of a
tuned closed loop control system such a change may be
undesirable.

7.2 Bi-Directional Flow
• The magmeter is designed to measure bi-directional fl ow.
• The forward fl ow direction is indicated by the directional arrow molded into the side
Flow
of the magmeter sensor.
• The conduit ports are assembled at the factory to point UPSTREAM. They may be reversed by
disassembling the components of the magmeter and reassembling.
Flow Rate Display: The "+" sign is suppressed during forward fl ow.
"-123.45 GPM" during reverse fl ow.
Totalizer Display: The totalizer will count during forward fl ow conditions only.
During reverse fl ow the totalizer will not increment.
Relay Outputs: May be set to detect reverse fl ow: "Low Setpoint at -25GPM."
4 to 20 mA output: May be scaled to span any fl ow range:
For example: "4 to 20 mA = -100 GPM to +100 GPM"
Frequency output, Frequency ÷ 10 output: Reverse fl ow is processed same as forward fl ow in the frequency output magmeters.
8.0 Calibration Menu
The K-Factors published in this manual assume that the fl ow conditions in the pipe
are ideal.
®
Many factors that affect the fl ow rate are beyond the control of the magmeter;
variations in actual pipe dimensions, pipe smoothness, and other fl ow conditions
will contribute to the total system error.

Performing a custom calibration with the magmeter in place will adjust the K-factor
and can serve to compensate for installation conditions that may be less than ideal.

8.1 Volume Method Of Calibration
Use the volume method of calibration if the fl uid passing the magmeter can be measured by a volumetric method (as in a vessel of
known volume, or by weight). It requires the ability to pump a known volume of water past the magmeter, and then input the volume into
the magmeter program. It is most useful for small pipes and lower fl ow rates.
When performed properly, volumetric calibration is the most accurate method. For best results a fi ve minute test period is
recommended, and the test period should be no less than two minutes.

At START, the magmeter begins counting the fl ow past the sensor.
At STOP, the magmeter stores the total fl ow accumulated since the START.
Enter the VOLUME that has been pumped past the sensor.
This error message appears if volume entered or the accumulated fl ow is zero. Repeat the test after
checking the system.
This message appears if the new K-Factor is less than 0.0001 or greater than 999999.
To correct the problem, perform the volumetric fl ow again, and be certain that the volume entered
is accurate.
Using the information from the VOLUME method, the magmeter will recalculate a new K-Factor. Press
ENTER to accept the new value, or use the keypad to adjust the value.

8.2 Rate Method Of Calibration
Use this method if the magmeter must be calibrated to match a reference fl ow meter. This is the method most commonly used by
monitoring agencies, and for large pipes where volumetric calibration is impractical. The accuracy of this calibration method is largely
dependent on the accuracy of the reference meter and the proximity of the reference to the magmeter.

8.3 Calibration Data: K-Factors* and Full Scale Current Values
Magmeter models FMG-300X, 310X and 320X have two dry contact relays
(Relays 1 and 2) and one Solid State relay (Relay 3).
®
Any of these relays can be set to any of the operating modes listed below.
876543.21 >
The setpoint values for HIGH, LOW and WINDOW modes can be set to
negative values if required.
For example, a LOW alarm might be set to activate if the fl ow rate falls below
-10 GPM.
Negative values are not available for relays in PULSE or TOTAL modes.
Off: If a relay is not used, it can be turned Off to prevent contact wear.

9.2 Total Relay mode
Program a relay to activate when the Resettable Totalizer reaches a specifi c value. The maximum setting is 999999.
Application example: A fi lter must be replaced in a reverse osmosis system every 10000 gallons. The service representative that installs
a new fi lter sets Relay 3 to Total mode, sets the setpoint at 10000 and resets the totalizer to 000000.00. When the totalizer is reset, the
relay will be deactivated and the process begins anew.
Every time the totalizer reaches 10000, the relay activates and lights a message indicator to remind the operator to contact the service
representative to replace the fi lter.

Hysteresis: Set a fl ow rate increment where the relay will be
deactivated. The hysteresis setting serves to prevent relay
"chatter" when the fl ow rate recovers from an alarm condition by
requiring the fl ow rate to move substantially within the setpoint.
Example: If high setpoint is 100 GPM, and hysteresis is 5 GPM,
the relay will be activated if fl ow rate reaches 100.1 GPM, but will
only be deactivated when the fl ow rate is 95 GPM (5 GPM inside
the setpoint.)
Delay: Set a time period for the relay to wait after reaching the
setpoint. This delay serves to prevent the relay "chatter" by
allowing the fl ow rate time to move back within the setpoint.
Example: If the delay is set to 5 seconds, in the example above
the relay will not be activated until the fl ow rate exceeds 100 GPM
for 5 seconds.

11.1 Output Modes
In FREQUENCY output mode, the OMEGAMAG
®
serves as a traditional fl ow sensor and provides an output pulse that is compatible
with most Omega POWERED fl ow instruments. It is not compatible with the FPM5800 Self-Powered Flow Meter or the FPM5750 series
Battery-powered fl ow totalizer. The frequency output range is from 0 Hz to 1000 Hz.
The FREQUENCY ÷ 10 output mode reduces the output frequency of the OMEGAMAG
®
to a range that is useful for some
programmable logic controllers (PLC). The frequency output range is from 0 Hz to 100 Hz. This shift does not affect the stated accuracy
of the magmeter's frequency output.
The MIRROR RELAY 1 output mode allows Frequency models to use the Open Collector Output like a relay that can be programmed
via the Relay 1 menu.
If the magmeter is equipped with relays, this mode will mirror the settings of Relay 1.
If the magmeter is not equipped with relays, this mode can still be selected and programmed via the Relay 1 menu.
