**Do not discard any packaging until unit is fully installed and operational**
Refer to Jerguson Magnicator IOM M500.01 for more information
If your JMT Magnetostrictive comes pre-installed on a Jerguson Magnicator, please perform the
following checks to ensure there was no damage during shipping.
1. Ensure brackets are secure and transmitter head and sensor probe are free from damage,
including bends of impact damage.
2.
Check the ‘4mA’ and ‘20mA’ stickers on the sensor probe are in place and line-up with the lower
and upper side process connections. If your Magnicator is a configuration that does not have
either one or both side connections or has a measuring range that does not match either one or
both side process connections, ensure the
‘4mA’ lines up with the lowest point of the measuring
range
(whether inches, %, mm or otherwise) on the flag indicator and the ‘20mA’ corresponds
with the span, i.e., full measuring range.
