About DIGITAL WATER METER
Water metering is the practice of measuring water use. Water meters measure the volume of water used by residential and commercial building units that are supplied with water by a public water supply system. They are also used to determine flow through a particular portion of the system.
Reliable Submersible Design (IP68)This digital water meter is engineered to withstand challenging conditions, boasting an IP68 rating for full submersion. It is suitable for a wide range of installations, from underground chambers to outdoor settings, ensuring consistent and reliable operation regardless of weather or water exposure.
Advanced Data & Communication OptionsInternal memory stores usage data for up to 2 years, while versatile pulse outputs and selectable communication protocols such as Modbus, M-Bus, and LoRaWAN streamline integration with various data collection systems. This flexibility allows for efficient remote monitoring and smart water management.
Proven Accuracy & Security FeaturesWith 2% accuracy at nominal flow and advanced detection for both tampering and reverse flow, the meter guarantees reliable readings and enhanced security. Compliance with ISO 4064 and MID certifications ensures data integrity and regulatory acceptance across distribution and supply applications.
FAQs of DIGITAL WATER METER:
Q: How is the digital water meter installed and in what positions can it be fitted?
A: The meter supports both flanged and threaded mounting options and can be installed in either horizontal or vertical positions. This flexibility makes it suitable for a variety of pipe configurations and utility requirements.
Q: What are the primary benefits of IP68 ingress protection for this water meter?
A: With IP68 protection, the meter is fully submersible, making it ideal for installations in areas prone to flooding, moisture, or direct water exposure. This ensures continuous, reliable performance under demanding indoor or outdoor conditions.
Q: When should I choose a digital water meter with Modbus, M-Bus, or LoRaWAN communication?
A: Select the communication protocol based on your system requirements: Modbus and M-Bus are best for wired, building automation or utility systems, while LoRaWAN is preferred for wireless, long-range remote monitoring applications.
Q: Where can this digital water meter be used?
A: The meter is designed for distribution, supplier, and trading applications across residential, commercial, and industrial sectors throughout India. Suitable for both indoor and outdoor setups, the meter measures cold potable water and copes with conditions up to 95% humidity and 50C temperature.
Q: What process does the meter use to detect tampering and reverse flow?
A: The meter employs internal sensors (ultrasonic or magnetic, per model) to detect anomalies consistent with tampering and unwanted reverse flow. Alerts or logs are generated to promptly inform operators of any irregular activity.
Q: How long does the battery last and what are the power requirements?
A: Powered by a 3.6V lithium battery with low power consumption, the meter is designed for up to 10 years of standby battery life, minimizing the need for frequent maintenance or battery replacement.
Q: What accuracy and range can users expect from this digital water meter?
A: The meter delivers precise measurements with 2% accuracy at nominal flow, a measurement range from 0.1 m/h to 25 m/h (depending on model), and a digital LCD display that monitors totals up to 99999 m.
