Accumax Ultrasonic AMR Meter With Flow Control Valve

How it works

Ultrasonic transit-time measurement with LoRa-based automatic meter reading. The source gives no description whatsoever of the flow control valve: its type, actuation, control logic, and relationship to the metering element are all unstated.

Features

  • LoRa long-range transmission

    An on-board LoRa module allows readings to be transmitted over long range.

  • In-built data logger

    Stores history records on the meter for later review.

  • Transit-time ultrasonic technology

    Stated by the source as providing accuracy and ultra-reliable metering (no accuracy figure given).

  • Multi communication support

    Source states multiple communication options are supported but does not list them.

  • Dedicated daily information details

    Daily consumption information is available on the meter.

  • Five alarm indications

    Five different alarm indications are provided; the source does not say what the five alarms are.

  • Compact size, easy to install

  • Long battery life

    No battery chemistry, capacity, or service life is stated.

  • Full-information LCD display

    Displays consumption data and alarm states.

1 further specification is listed in the datasheet but not reproduced here

These labels appear in the datasheet, but the value beside them could not be read reliably from the document. Rather than print a figure we cannot stand behind, we have left them out — ask us and we will confirm them directly.

  • Max. Flow (m3/h) per pipe size — the text layer holds only four values (3.125, 7.875, 12.5, 20) for five pipe-size columns (15/20/25/32/40), so no value can be mapped to a size with certainty

Applications

  • Industrial R.O. (reverse osmosis) plants
  • Residential water metering
  • Water supply schemes
  • Smart water billing

Frequently asked questions

How does this meter measure flow?

It measures by the ultrasonic transit-time method and shows readings on a full-information LCD display.

How are readings collected remotely?

Through AMR (automatic meter reading) over an in-built LoRa module for long-range transmission; the page also states that multiple communication options are supported.
