PRECISION METERS

Ultrasonic Water Meters,
15mm–50mm

Advanced, Maintenance-Free Ultrasonic Metering

Precision Meters supplies ultrasonic water meters for accurate measurement of cold and hot water consumption in households, apartment buildings and commercial premises. The range includes 15mm to 50mm meters and uses static water flow measurement with no moving parts, helping support long-term measurement stability and reliability.

Each meter includes a 9-digit, multi-line LCD display showing total volume and instantaneous flow rate.

Key Applications

  • Domestic water metering.
  • Multi-unit residential complexes.
  • Commercial consumption monitoring.
  • Smart city infrastructure.
  • Remote monitoring, leak detection & billing automation.

AMR and AMI Ready

The ultrasonic water meter range is ready for AMR and AMI applications. Communication options include:

  • Wireless M-Bus 433 or 868 MHz OMS T1
  • LoRaWAN channel plans including EU863-870, AS923, AU915-928, US902-928 and IN865-867
  • NB-IoT
  • NFC

Data Logger History Values

Hourly, daily and monthly values of the measured parameters are stored in the meter’s internal memory. This supports easier monitoring and review of consumption patterns over time.

Radio Interface

Integrated radio communication allows data reading via Wireless M-Bus telegram using 433 MHz or 868 MHz OMS T1 mode, LoRaWAN or NB-IoT.

Data Registration

The meter can register important usage and operating data, including:

  • Total volume
  • Forward volume
  • Reverse volume
  • Maximum flow rate value and date
  • Minimum flow rate value and date
  • Operating time without an error
  • Total operating time
  • Error code
  • Water temperature indication

LCD Indicators and Alarms

The LCD display includes indicators and alarms for:

  • Flow direction
  • Battery level
  • Leakage detection
  • Burst
  • Backflow
  • Empty pipe
  • Radio communication
  • Warning indication
  • Low-temperature warning
