SITRANS FM MAG 8000 - Battery-Powered Water Meter

SITRANS FM MAG 8000 is a battery-powered electromagnetic water meter for water networks, enabling accurate flow measurement anywhere without an external power source.

SITRANS mobile IQ is a free app that provides easy access to your field devices. Commission, configure, and monitor instrumentation via Bluetooth.

The SITRANS FM MAG 8000 portfolio offers a basic version for standard water metering and an advanced version for detailed consumption profiling and network performance tracking. Two add-on wireless communication modules—IIoT and LW BLE—enable remote data transmission via LTE-M, NB-IoT, or LoRaWAN networks. When paired with the SITRANS hub IQ web application, your measurements, configurations, and verifications are securely accessible from anywhere.

High-precision bidirectional metering ensures that you capture every drop for accurate billing. The full-bore tube design minimizes flow resistance, reducing pressure loss and improving the system's overall energy efficiency.

Perfect for water abstraction, distribution, billing, and irrigation. Reduce installation time with 0D inlet/outlet requirements. The IP68-rated meter allows for safe underground installation in flood-prone areas without mains power.

Gain complete visibility into your water network from anywhere. By providing comprehensive measurement data, alarms, and diagnostics remotely, the meter significantly reduces the need for costly, time-consuming on-site visits.

Save time by configuring both the communication module and the entire device remotely via LTE-M, NB-IoT, or 2G fallback. Take advantage of automated data logging and real-time alarms.

Operate on license-free bands to gain cost-effective, real-time insights. Built on open standards with end-to-end encryption, this ultra-low-power module ensures seamless integration and extends battery life.

Securely monitor operations remotely. View data, set alarms, and export insights via a RESTful API for seamless integration with advanced smart water applications—such as SIWA Leaks—to quickly detect network losses.

Aguas de Saltillo implemented a water network sectorization (WNS) project to efficiently manage water distribution from reservoirs. Flow measurement equipment was needed to detect leaks, quantify water loss, and record data.

City West Water has partnered with Siemens for over a decade to install SITRANS F M MAG 8000 water meters at high-consumption and fire service sites, ensuring accurate flow monitoring for fair customer billing.

Built for long-term reliability, the SITRANS FM MAG 8000 can operate continuously for up to 15 years with an external battery pack (or up to 9 years with an internal pack), depending on your configuration. It features smart power management with a configurable “low battery” alarm, and replacing the battery is a quick and straightforward process.

No. The SITRANS FM MAG 8000 requires a 0D inlet and outlet. This means you can install the meter directly next to bends or branches without needing any straight pipe runs, saving you significant space, time, and installation costs.

Absolutely. The flowmeter is built with a rugged, IP68-rated enclosure (NEMA 6P) and a highly durable protective coating. This makes it completely waterproof and safe for direct underground burial or continuous operation in harsh, flood-prone environments.

You can eliminate manual readings by equipping your meter with either the IIoT wireless communication module or the LW BLE LoRaWAN module. The IIoT WCM seamlessly transmits your flow rates, consumption data, and smart alarms directly to the SITRANS hub IQ web application. The LW BLE LoRaWAN module can be easily integrated with your own LoRa network server for remote monitoring.

Because the SITRANS FM MAG 8000 uses electromagnetic induction with an unrestricted flow tube, it has absolutely no moving parts. This design prevents wear and tear, resists debris buildup, and virtually eliminates the need for routine mechanical maintenance.
