SITRANS F M
All SITRANS F M electromagnetic flowmeters feature a unique SENSORPROM ® memory unit
which stores sensor calibration data and transmitter settings for the lifetime of the product.
At commissioning the flowmeter commences measurement without any initial programming.
The factory settings matching the sensor are stored in the SENSORPROM
® unit. Also customer-

Product introduction
1. Product introduction
SITRANS F M electromagnetic flowmeters are characterised by simplicity:
⇒
Simple to install
⇒
Simple to commission
⇒
Simple to operate
⇒
Simple to maintain
SITRANS F M electromagnetic flowmeters are manufactured by Siemens Flow Instruments A/S
- one of the world's leading manufacturers of flowmeters.
specified settings are downloaded to the
SENSORPROM
® unit. Should the transmitter be
replaced, the new transmitter will upload all
previous settings and resume measurement without
any need for re-programming.
Furthermore, the "fingerprint" used in connection
with the Siemens Flow Instruments Verificator is
stored during the sensor calibration.
USM II "Plug & Play" add-on communication
modules.
USM II - the U niversal S ignal M odule with "Plug &
Play" simplicity makes it easy to access and integrate
the flow measurement with almost any system. It
ensures the flowmeter will be easy to upgrade to new
communication platforms in the future, too.
Electromagnetic flowmeters are suitable for measuring the flow of almost all electrically
conducting liquids, pastes and slurries.
A prerequisite is that the medium must have a minimum conductivity of 5
μ S/cm and a solid content
of maximum 40%. The temperature, pressure, density, and viscosity have no influence on the result.
The main applications of the electromagnetic flowmeters can be found in the following sectors:
• Water and wastewater
• Chemical and pharmaceutical industries
• Food and beverage industry
• Mining, aggregates and cements industries
• Pulp and paper industry
• Steel industry
• Power; utility and chilled water industry
The wide variety of combinations and versions from the modular system means that ideal
adaptation is possible to each measuring task.
