Ideally suited for leak detection in water networks, water consumption measurements and irrigation plants, the meter has been designed for applications without a power supply where exact consumption or flow rates are required. Of course, the B-MAG™ I M5000 from Badger Meter Europa (Germany) can also be used with an available power supply. The meter can be powered with main voltage and in case of a mains failure, it is powered by an internal battery; important data are consequently saved.

The B-MAG™ I M5000 is a battery-powered electromagnetic flow meter with a very high accuracy even at very low flows. The excellent repeatability as well as the above-average battery life makes this innovative water meter indispensable for the water market, even at the most remote measuring sites.

The standard meter is equipped with an internal datalogger which can read-out via an IrDA or RS232 interface with ModBus® RTU protocol. The collected data can also be retrieved via radio frequency or GSM and can therefore be centrally compiled and evaluated.
