Product Description
This system offers a solution for larger commercial properties whose owners/managers need to submeter their tenant’s water usage. The system consists of the following:
- Gateway
- Pulse meters
- Transceivers
Each meter has a pulse output wire connected to a battery operated transceiver. The transceiver sends a wireless signal to the Gateway (needs outlet for power). The Gateway can report 1-24 times per day (this is programmable. The more it reports, the faster your transmitter batteries will deplete) and it provides the information via cloud storage which can be accessed with a username and password on PC, iPhone App, or Android App.
The system utilizes a customer provided WiFi or Ethernet connection to the Gateway, and is meant for indoor applications and currently does not charge any monthly fees.
The above product quotes with ¾” polymer, cold water next century meters. Hot water meters, lead free brass, and gas and electric meters are available as well. Call for customized quote. In addition, purchasing this online limits the number of meters to 100. Larger quantities are available for this system (it’s been tested up to 2000 meters), call for customized quote. Discounts are built in to the product for quantities of meters.
If WiFi or Ethernet connection can't be supplied, there is a cellular option (US locations only) that incurs a $30/month charge paid annually on the calendar year (will be pro-rated if service begins mid-year).
