The Seametrics WMX Series Flanged Magmeters are for use in 4" to 10" pipe in municipal or industrial water and wastewater applications
where propeller meters have typically been used in the past. Because the WMX has no moving parts and has electrodes designed to discourage
fouling, this magmeter performs well and requires much less frequent maintenance in applications where debris would impede propeller meters.
There is no rotor to stop turning or bearings to wear out. Minimal straight pipe requirements allow WMX-Series meters to be used in piping
configurations where there is little space between the meter and an elbow.
In chemical injection applications, the meter should be placed upstream of the injection line or far enough downstream for thorough mixing to
occur before the meter.
Rate and total indication are standard on both models. Units are customer-selected and factory-set. No set-up is required.
The WMX101 is externally powered with 7-32 Vdc at 30 mA max (see NOTE in Specifications). Two Lithium 3.6V "AA" batteries provide auxiliary power
during power failures, allowing the meter to continue recording flow rate and total without interruption for the duration of the outage. Where
external power loss is infrequent, battery life should exceed 10 years.
The 20-foot power cable also provides pulse output for use with a variety of Seametrics and other displays and controls for remote reading, data
logging, pulse-to-analog conversion, and telemetry applications. High frequency pulse rate (required for use with 4-20 mA converters) is standard;
additional pulse rates are optional.
The WMX104 is a battery-operated unit for use when pulse output is not required. The Lithium 3.6V "D" batteries are replaceable with an approximate
1-year life under continuous use, or more depending on the duty cycle. An optional input/ output cable can be installed post-factory if needed for
changing applications.
Applications for the Seametrics WMX Series Flanged Magmeters include:
- Municipal water/wastewater
- Industrial water/wastewater
- Cooling tower water treatment
- Well usage reporting
