Magnetic water meter MAG 8000W
■ Overview
4 • No corrosion problems. The build-in standard IrDA interface
MAG 8000W battery powered electromagnetic water meter is
designed according to the global water meter standard
OIML R49 and the European CEN EN 14154. The design fulfils
special customer demands to water applications within abstrac-
tion, distribution network, revenue metering and irrigation. All
functionalities integrated in one meter to optimize water supply
and use of highly scanty resources.
With the MAG 8000W product platform focus has been put on
the following basic elements;
• Precision
Accurate and reliable measurement for long-term perfor-
mance
• Information
Dedicated information prepared directly from meter site to
minimize the need for additional advanced systems
• Communication
Open “add-on” communication platform for connection to ex-
isting systems and future proof for new standards without
meter replacement
• Ownership
Easy to install with low installation, maintenance and operation
cost
One MAG 8000W, with its comprehensive integrated functional-
ity and high performance measurement, will in many cases re-
place existing district and revenue meters on the same location.
Its easy to install concept and long-term performance take cost
of ownership as customer service to a new level.
Features like 6 years maintenance-free battery-powered opera-
tion and no moving parts provide long-term highly accurate
measurements that make MAG 8000W one of the most convinc-
ing selections for stand alone water applications.
■ Benefits
MAG 8000W has been developed for water applications to opti-
mize water supply and correct billing.
Benefits for all applications:
• Flexible power supply makes it easy to install MAG 8000W for
leakage detection. If “no power supply” is present, the internal
or external battery pack ensures operation in typical stand
alone applications for up to 10 years of operation.
• Long-term measurement performance to rely on. Indepen-
dently of power supply MAG 8000W delivers highly accurate
and repeatable measurements of bi-directional flow.
• Build for installation everywhere. The meter enclosure is
IP68/NEMA 6P and designed for underground installation that
can be flooded.

• Optimal battery power control for reliable information on real
battery consumption to reduce site visits.
• Integrated data logger for monitoring of water consumption
and operation conditions. Selectable alarm level for too high
or too low consumption.
• Easy to integrate in a system. MAG 8000W has 2 integrated
pulse outputs and an open “add-on” communication platform
to support existing and future communication platforms. Indi-
vidual configuration of free scalable pulse outputs and net
pulse (based on bi-directional flow calculation).
• Easy set up and documentation of settings. PC Flow Tool Con-
figuration Software for easy set up and meter service. Easy
data download enables same setting of all MAG 8000W
meters installed. Password protection against unauthorized
use of parameters.
ensures problem-free on-site communication. The special
meter coating optimises the resistance against aggressive
media.
• Complies with approvals and standards. WRc drinking water
approval.
Additional benefits for potable water distribution networks:
• Designed for low flow leakage detection. The special sensor
design with one internal cone down ensures optimal low flow
measurement with minimal pressure drop and subsequently
higher energy consumption.
• Replacing two existing meters by one reduces installation and
maintenance costs. MAG 8000W performances can replace a
revenue and a distribution meter and makes replacement ob-
vious when the meters are installed in the same location.
Additional benefits for potable water revenue metering:
• Protection of custody transfer parameters. MAG 8000W has a
4-level data protection to avoid unauthorized use;
- Software password on parameter and data changing
- Hardware protection of measurement parameters and
totalizer
- Special enclosure screw for CT sealing
- Data security information about important parameters
• Long-term accurate measurement for correct billing. No mov-
ing parts that can wear and tear over time.
• Replacing two existing meters by one reduces installation and
maintenance costs. MAG 8000W performance can replace a
revenue and a distribution meter and makes replacement ob-
vious when the meters are installed in the same location.
Benefits for irrigation:
• Long-term accurate measurement for correct billing. No mov-
ing parts to wear and tear over time. No stops due to particles
in the medium.
• Optimal meter technology selection for short installation con-
ditions (in- and outlet conditions). Often practical installation
conditions challenge the demanded inlet and outlet condi-
tions.

■ Application
MAG 8000W has been developed as a stand alone water meter
for applications within;
• Abstraction; Collecting water to treatment plans
• Distribution network; Distribution of water from treatment
plants to customer
• Revenue metering; Measuring the amount of water delivered
for billing purpose
• Irrigation; Measuring the amount of water delivered for billing
purpose and monitoring water consumption
■ Design
MAG 8000W is designed according to OIML R49 and CEN
EN 14154 water meter standards with focus on minimization of
power consumption, easy to install with long-term performance
with dedicated integrated functionality to optimise information
on water flow and consumption. MAG 8000W is a combination of
a new transmitter and the MAG 5100 W sensor program with a
special MAG 8000W calibration.
The display and key improves customer operation and informa-
tion on site.
Key: By activating the key, the information toggles to the next in-
dex and related information.
Display: The display has been divided into 3 areas. Top area with
symbols for status information. Mid are with actual information.
Bottom area with index number for the information shown.
A Siemens Flow Tool software or communication interface allows
all settings made and that comprehensive information can be
collected from the meter.
■ Function
MAG 8000W includes a wide range of functions and information
to optimise water supply and billing. Some data are available via
meter display and key whereas all are accessible via communi-
cation interface and PC Flow Tool software. All settings are only
configurable via IrDA and Flow Tool software or via communica-
tion interfaces.

MAG 8000W water meter uncertainty
To ensure continuous accurate flow measurement, water meters
must be calibrated. Calibration is conducted at Siemens flow
calibration facilities accredited according to ISO 17025 (ISO
17025 EA) by UKAS and DANAK and traceable to NIST.
A calibration certificate follows every sensor and calibration data
are stored in the meter unit.

Battery operation time and calculation

2Q The battery operation time depends on the connected battery

pack as well as the operation conditions of the meter. Every 4
$ODUPVWDWXV 2II hours the advanced power management system calculates the
real power consumption and remaining operation capacity.

Alarm: The alarm will follow the internal alarm status. The power consumption calculation includes flow measurement,
meter dialog (communication and display) and pulse output.
The temperature is also measured to control and adjust its influ-
2Q ence on the battery capacity.
&DOOXSRXWSXW 2II The internal battery pack has a nominal capacity of 33 Ah giving
a typical operation time of 6 years in a revenue application. The
nominal capacity of external battery packs is 66 Ah and the op-
eration time is limited to the lifetime of the batteries – typically
&DOOXSUHVHW 10 years. Configuration and operation conditions are shown in
the table.
2Q Scenario - Revenue application
&DOOXSVWDWXV 2II Output A Pulse – 10 Hz
Output B Alarm or call-up
Call up: The “call-up” output is active until manually reset. The Meter dialog 1 hour per month
call-up function is activated when an alarm is activated.
Excitation frequency 1/15 Hz
MAG 8000W has a special net pulse output that include bi-direc-
Country main frequency 50/60 Hz
tional flow calculations. This is special for installation where the
meter is connected to a system with only one input. The example Internal battery pack 50 Hz: 77 months (6.48 years)
shows that over time, the net pulse output indicates the bi-direc- 60 Hz: 86 months (7.16 years)
tional totalized meter calculations. Same principle for forward External battery pack 120 months (10 years)
and reverse flow calculations.
High or low temperature influence the capacity of the battery
and thereby directly influence the total operation time. The
MAG 8000W power management system includes these influ-
ences. The typical operation time of 6 years is based on only
80% battery capacity and an operation time/temperature profile
of 5% @ 0 °C/32 °F, 80% @ 15 °C/59 °F and 15% @ 50 °C/122 °F.
