SITRANS FM MAG 8000 — Battery-Operated Water Meter

Why SITRANS FM MAG 8000?

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.

Key benefits

Maximize revenue and reduce water loss

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.

Simplify installation in any environment

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.

Reduce onsite visits

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.

Featured capabilities

IIoT wireless communication module

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.

 Effortless data flow via LoRaWAN

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.

SITRANS hub IQ web application

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, Mexico

Improving water distribution the electromagnetic way

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, Australia

Water metering with advanced electromagnetic technology

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.
