Abstract
A magneto-inductive flowmeter having at least one measuring tube for the flow of an electrically conducting medium, having at least one magnetic field generator for generating a preferably alternating magnetic field running at least also perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the measuring tube, having at least two measuring electrodes—in particular in contact with the medium—and having a functional unit containing at least one evaluation unit and a method of operating same. The magneto-inductive flowmeter is user-friendly in a very particular manner, namely in that the functional unit has a request initiator that can be activated—by the user or the flowmeter itself—, a contacting receiver and an information sender and that by the request initiator, a third party can be prompted—by the user or the flowmeter itself—into contact—with the user or with the flowmeter itself.
