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 external power.

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

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. Paired with the SITRANS hub IQ web application, your measurements, configurations and verifications are securely accessible from anywhere.

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

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

Gain complete visibility over your water network from anywhere. By delivering comprehensive measurement data, alarms and diagnostics remotely, the meter significantly cuts down the need for costly, time-consuming onsite visits.

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

Operate on license-free bands for 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. Visualize data, set alarms, and export insights via RESTful API for seamless integration with advanced smart water applications — like 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 instrumentation was needed to detect leaks, quantify water loss and record data.

City West Water has worked 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, SITRANS FM MAG 8000 can operate continually 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, straightforward process.

No. SITRANS FM MAG 8000 features a 0D inlet and outlet requirement. 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 to your own LorA network server for remote monitoring.

Because SITRANS FM MAG 8000 uses electromagnetic induction with an unrestricted flow tube, it has absolutely zero moving parts. This design prevents wear and tears, resists debris buildup and virtually eliminates the need for routine mechanical maintenance.
