Operating principle
MAG 8000 is a microprocessor-based water meter with graphical display and key for optimum
customer operation and information on site. The transmitter drives the magnetic field in the
sensor, evaluates the flow signal from the sensor, and calculates the volume passing through.
It delivers the required information via the integrated pulse output or communication interfaces
as part of a system solution. Its intelligent functionality, information and diagnostics ensure
optimum meter performance and information to optimize water supply and billing.
MAG 8000 Standard and MAG 8000 CT can be ordered as a Basic or an Advanced version,
and MAG 8000 Irrigation as Basic version only.
