7.2 Flow simulation
7. Service
The MAG 8000 & MAG 8000 CT has a built-in flow simulator (FT551 & FT552) to verify and adjust
the pulse output to any connected device or system.
Warning
Totalized values are changed during the simulation and actual flow is NOT measured.
Simulation continues until manually turned off (normal operation restored).
For MAG 8000 CT is the flow simulation only possible when verification sealings are broken.
7.3 Replace a trans-
mitter or PCB board Since the MAG 8000 & MAG 8000 CT does not have a removable SENSORPROM (EEprom),
special care must be taken when replacing a damaged or defective transmitter or PCB board to
ensure proper operation and continued accuracy. There are three ways to achieve an easy and
successful replacement:
1) Order a complete transmitter as a spare part, which comes configured the same way as the
original meter left the factory. The system serial number of the original meter must be provided
when ordering the replacement.
2) Order a complete transmitter as a spare part with default settings and a blank product label.
Final configuration is done on-site. Missing data and configuration can be uploaded from the
old meter or it can be read from the old meter product label.
3) Order only a replacement PCB board. The PCB board can only be order a an advanced
version and only with default settings. When making the configuration on site, the service
mode must be selected in the Flow Tool and the Hardware key must be attached to the PCB
board to change important parameters.
Note
If the MAG 8000 CT transmitter or the sensor has to be replaced, is it necessary to make a re-
verification of the whole meter.
