GENERAL INFORMATION
The iMAG-Series is the most economical anged electromagnetic
owmeter on the market. It is used in 3” to 12” pipe in municipal
or industrial water, waste and reclaimed water, pump stations
and packaged plant applications. The iMAG has no moving
parts and electrodes are designed to discourage fouling. This
magmeter requires no maintenance in applications where
debris would impede mechanical meters. There are no parts to
wear out. Minimal straight pipe requirements allow iMAG-Series
meters to be used in piping congurations where there is little
space between the meter and an elbow.
iMAG-Series meters are rated IP68 for applications where the
meter may be under water up to a depth of 10 feet (3 meters)
for prolonged periods of time.
Rate and total indication are standard. Rate and total units and
pulse output are settable via the front panel touch key pad by

Conguration Port (For Factory Use Only)
the user. Bi-directional ow is standard. Forward, reverse and
net ow can be read from the display. If forward and reverse
ow data needs to be sent to another device, Modbus output
is required.
The iMAG 3600 and 4600 can be externally powered with 9-36
Vdc at 30 mA average. The 4600 is also available in a battery
powered version.
The standard 20-foot (6 meter) cable also provides outputs for
use with a variety of Seametrics and other displays and controls
for remote reading, data logging and telemetry applications.
4-20mA passive current loop and high frequency outputs
are optional on the externally powered models. Pulse output
is standard on the battery powered model. The iMAG 3600
remote display meter can be supplied with an optional internal
AC power supply.
