Decoding the E&H 5W8C Ordering Code: A Detailed Example

To illustrate the immense configurability of the E&H 5W8C electromagnetic flowmeter, let us break down a specific product code: 5W8C1Z-AAEAHKDE0EUD5KGAA1+CT .

Position 1-6: The Base Model

5W8C1Z: This identifies the device as a Proline Promag W 800 with a nominal diameter of DN125 (5 inches) . This medium size is ideal for municipal water distribution networks and industrial process lines requiring battery-powered operation

Position 7-8: Approval Type

AA: This signifies the device is certified for use in non-hazardous areas (Standard version), suitable for general water and wastewater applications

Position 9-11: Sensor Design / Connection Type

EAH: This section details the sensor mechanics.

E: Likely indicates a fixed flange design with specific flange standard (e.g., EN1092-1).

A: The liner material is Hard Rubber, suitable for temperatures up to +70°C and general water service -5.

H: The electrode material is 1.4435 (316L) stainless steel, providing excellent corrosion resistance for most water applications

Position 12-15: Transmitter / Electronics

KDE0: These positions cover the basic transmitter configuration, including power supply (battery-powered operation) and standard settings for the 800 series transmitter.

Position 16-24: I/O Functionality, Display, and Housing

EUD5KG: This is the “brain” of the device setup.

E: Output configuration for battery-powered operation, typically including pulse outputs for totalization.

U: Additional output specifications.

D5K: Display and Operation. This specifies a 4-line backlit display with touch control and specific language/firmware package

G: This likely refers to the sensor junction housing material, possibly AlSi10Mg coated aluminum for standard environments

Position 25-27: Sensor Options / Calibration

AA1: This part covers calibration and sensor options.

AA: Standard calibration flow (0.5% accuracy)

1: Usually refers to a specific device model or sensor option variant, indicating standard features without specialized customizations.

Position 28-??: Accessories & Tags (Separated by +)

+CT: This suffix indicates additional services or accessories. In this context, “CT” may denote Custody Transfer certification, indicating the device is configured and certified for fiscal metering applications according to MI-001/OIML R49 standards
