The reed switch provides an electrical indication every time the pre-determined flow passes through the meter. Installing the reed switch is simple, as the design of the meter allows the pulser to be installed without breaking the meter seal. The pulse frequency varies in different meter sizes, but can range from 10L to 100,000L.
Smartwater is a pulse reading device used for Automatic Meter Reading (AMR), connecting any mechanical water meter with pulse output to the internet. The meter totalizer reading, along with other diagnostic data is sent daily over a low-power network to a cloud server. This enables the utility management company or municipality to receive water meter readings on a daily basis using a web application, without the need to visit each and every meter.
