the electrode cables and the energizer coil cable within the junction box. Do not use silicone rubber 
(RTV) for potting, since it contains acetic acid which can corrode the junction box terminals.  

Make  sure  the  serial  number  of  the  ChannelMag  sensor(s)  shown  on  the  cables  agrees  with  the 
serial  number  of  the  transmitter.  This  is  particularly  important  when  more  than  one  ChannelMag 
flow system has been supplied. If a sensor and transmitter have been supplied separately, then the 
transmitter  range  factor  has  to  be  adjusted  according  to  the  sensor  calibration  (see  transmitter 
instructions).  

Although  the  ChannelMag  sensor  is  bi-directional,  make  sure  the  ChannelMag  is  installed  in  the 

channel with the flow direction arrow consistent with the actual flow direction of the media. If it is 

not,  then  the  electrode  cable  terminals  in  the  remote  transmitter  may  be  switched  around  (see 

separate  transmitter  instruction  manual).  The  accuracy  and  flow  calibration  factor  is  identical  in 

both directions.

 

  2.3.1 Straight Lengths  

         of Channel (CM2)

 

The CM2 ChannelMag must be installed in a channel with a minimum of 7 straight channel widths 
upstream  and  4  straight  channels  downstream,  as  shown  in  the  diagram  below.  For  bi-directional 
use  a minimum of 7 straight channel widths are required upstream and downstream.  

The straight lengths are measured from the end of the ramps. When ramps are not supplied (and the 
ChannelMag CM2 sensor(s) is inserted into a recess in the base of the channel), then the straight 
lengths are measured from the end of the CM2 sensor.  

W = channel width (not necessarily the width of the CM2 sensor)7W = upstream minimum 

length2W = downstream minimum length (must be 7W for bi-directional fl ow)L = overall 

length with or without ramps  

The  ChannelMag  and  installation  conforms  to  German  DIN  19559  and  German  Waste  Water 
Institute (ATV Arbeitsgruppe 1.2.5) requirements.  

2.3.2 Straight Lengths  

         of Pipe (PM2)

 

The  ideal  location  in  the  pipe  is  where  there  is  a  maximum  straight  length.  The  table  below 
provides  recommendations  of  minimum  straight  lengths  of  pipe  for  various  pipe  configurations. 
Shorter  lengths  or  other  configurations  affect  published    accuracy,  dependant  on  pipe  size  and 
velocity range. Consult ARKON or a qualified representative.  

Diametrically opposite sensors are either 1 pair or 2 pair.  

When an ultrasonic level transducer is used for partially filled pipe applications it must be located 

at least 8” (200 mm) before or after the ends of the ramps to avoid drops in level due to sub-critical 

flows,  or  rises  in  level  due  to  super-critical  flows.  When  the  hydrostatic  level  transducer  is 

employed its level sensing position is virtually at the start of the upstream ramp and avoids critical 

flow rises and falls.
