AquaMaster 3 Electromagnetic flowmeter 3 Electrical Installation 3.2.2 Use of Tamper-detection Seals Referring to Fig. 3.5: 1. Pass the wire of the seal through both the hole in the locking-ring and the matching hole in the front of the transmitter.
Operation of outputs is programmable – see Programming Guide (COI/FET2XX–EN) for details. External isolators are not normally required as the pulse and alarm circuit is electrically-separated from all other AquaMaster 3 connections. Capacitive loads must be inrush current limited.
Note. The serial port connection shares the same physical port as the MODBUS connection so (depending on cable design) it may be necessary to disconnect the MODBUS connection temporarily to enable configuration of AquaMaster 3. User Guide OI/FET2XX–EN Rev. E...
AquaMaster 3 Electromagnetic flowmeter 3 Electrical Installation 3.3.6 Pressure Transducer (Optional) Optional pressure transducer cables are available for a range of pressures and cable lengths. Fig. 3.11 Optional Pressure Transducer Connector Caution. Use only the pressure transducer supplied with the transmitter. Use of other pressure transducers requires alteration of the pressure span and zero factors in the transmitter.
OIML R49 the flowmeter can be sealed to prevent unauthorized changes to the meter settings and configuration. A read-only switch / link is used (as detailed in Fig. 3.12) to prevent login through any communication means and modification of any parameters on the AquaMaster 3. Not used...

Power supply connections / earthing arrangements are identical for cathodically-protected remote transmitter systems. For cathodically-protected integral transmitter systems, follow cathodic installation practices. AquaMaster 3 has 3 power supply options: – Mains power – see Section 3.5.1 – Battery power – see Section 3.5.2, page 29 –...
3.5.2 Battery Power Supply Note. Before making connections, check the Data label to confirm power supply requirements. AquaMaster 3 can be powered from Explorer-style battery packs fitted with the MIL plastic style plug. The Explorer battery capacity is of published life.
For these reasons, in some installations, generators with a capacity greater then the specified 5 W minimum should be used. Contact ABB for a technical note, giving guidance on the selection of suitable sized generators for AquaMaster 3.
4 Start-Up and Operation Warning. The battery pack used by AquaMaster 3 may present a risk of fire or chemical burns if mistreated. Do not recharge, disassemble, heat above 100 °C (212 °F) or incinerate. Replace battery pack with an ABB-supplied part only. Use of another battery may present a risk of fire or explosion.
To activate the display during normal operation: 1. Cover the display area for a few seconds. 2. Uncover the display area. The display is activated and the AquaMaster 3 cycles through the programmed set of display measurements. Note. To use local or remote serial communications, for instructions on how to alter the displayed set of measurements and for meter setup, refer to COI/FET2XX–EN.
