MAG 5100 W (MAG 3100)
Overtigtning and/or no gasket used

MAG 1100( MAG 3100)
Wrong selection of liner and/or electrode materail

Common errors
 Air in the pipe line ( Too high flow, sometimes erratic unstable flow))
 Wrong cable connections ( between sensor/transmitter or on output)
 Use cable of bad quality ( local cable – ”cheaper solution”)
 Mixed up sensorproms ( wrong flow rate )
 Bad grounding (PTFE lined sensors with no grounding electrodes)

( erratic unstable reading with and without flow)
 Wrong sensor selection due to amount of solids.

( stable with no flow, erratic unstable flow with flow
due to electrode noise)

Menu - Overview

Password – Sensor Characteristics
Sensorprom must be installed. Otherwise

all data must be programmed manually
If Sensorprom is NOT installed

Error code 40 can be suppressed
Sensor size – if no sensorprom sensor size

must be programmed in metre. Eg, DN 100 = 0.100
Calibration Factor from wet calibration – can be found

on sensor label and calibration report.
Factory password: 1000 Correction Factor - must be 1.0000

To be changed in special conditions only
Excitation frequency according to Sensor size.

See Handbook for correct selection.
