All MAGX2 sensors are supplied with 2 built in earthing electrodes which is sufficient for all applications with 
metal pipes and tanks. However on applications where all pipes and tanks are manufactured from plastic, it is 
recommended that earthing rings are also installed to ensure the maximum resistance of the sensor to earth 
is <1 ohm.  
 
 
 
 
 

 

 

 

       
 
 
 

 
 
 
 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

To  ensure  correct  meter  operation  make  sure  the  earthing  rings  and  sealings  around  are 
centered. 

 

2.3. Dry liner 

 

Flowmeters  with  a  Hard  Rubber  liner  can  show  incorrect  readings  during  the  first  2-3  days  after  installation. 
This is due to the fact that the time needed for transport and the time before installation is long enough for the 
liner  to  dry  out,  and  thus  it  changes  shape/size.  This  change,  in  effect,  affects  reading  accuracy.  Simply  by 
keeping the meter wet, this problem solve itself within 2-3 days and no other action is required at all.
