SmartMeter - the leader in intelligent metering
Date: 10/6/06
The SM150 uses fluidic oscillation technology:
-
No moving parts - unaffected by grit for lifelong accuracy. Mechanical meters wear & stop recording consumption; so customers do not pay for the water they use.
-
The unique detection system does not register air. Customers pay for air in the system with mechanical meters.
-
SM150 extended data
-
Air detection - important with intermittent supply
-
Leakage identification - identifies/prioritises which leaks to fix
-
No flow - indicates when properties may be empty
-
Tamper detection - shows bypassing of the metered water supply or meter tampering
-
Battery status - provides a years warning to change the battery
-
AMR enabled - remote meter reading ensures 100% read rate & accuracy
The engineering effort to simplify manufacturing & reduce components whilst increasing functionality has enabled SmartMeter to produce a low cost, high volume meter for markets in the greatest need. Almost 200,000 SM150s have been sold, with new customers seeing the benefits each week.
