The 3G endpoint for water is an AMR module fully integrated into the meter
register that actively records consumption data, data logs this information, and
provides a vigilant suite of Revenue Impact Alerts – Leak, Theft, Tamper, and
Zero Consumption.
P e r f o r m a n c e :
Consumption data is sent continually every 11 seconds in the
unlicensed 902-928 MHz bandwidth at 63 mW power. An integral Real Time
Clock (RTC) ensures consistency in the transmission cycle. 3G is available in a
standard configuration for Master Meter products, as well as a universal design
– the Interpreter - which replaces the original register for most any bayonet top
mount design such as, but not limited to; AMCO, Badger, Hersey, Neptune,
Precision, and Sensus.
L e a k D e t e c t i o n :
actively monitors for continues rotation of the register
gears, and if it does not stop for 4 hours, we raise an electronic flag. And if this
flag stays up for 24 hours, we transmit an alarm.
T a m p e r :
3G actively monitors against the use of magnetic tamper devices
such as large speaker magnetic that are commonly used in a n attempt to
magnetically decouple the register from the meter.
T h e f t :
3G actively monitors for reverse flow movement using motion sensing
components in the AMR module/register. This vigilant indicator protects against
meter reversal (theft), incorrectly installed meter, and backflow situations.
Z e r o C o n s u m p t i o n :
3G monitors for extended periods of zero consumption
and flags the account, notifying utility personnel of a possible stuck meter or
vacated service.
D a t a L o g g i n g :
4,000 points of scalable, customizable consumption data are
continually stored inside the 3G module. Consumption resolution is possible
down to the minute.
B a t t e r i e s :
3G uses dual non-replaceable long life lithium Thionyl Chloride
batteries that allows for a generous 20 year warranted battery life
