ABOUT THE ESERIES ULTRASONIC PLUS METER
The E-Series Ultrasonic Plus meter uses solid-state ultrasonic transit-time technology to measure cold potable water,
and incorporates an integrated valve into the lay length of the meter. With an ORION® Cellular LTE-M or LTE-MS endpoint
connected to the meter, authorized utility personnel can schedule the integrated valve on the meter to open, close and
partially close via commands sent from BEACON® AMA (Advance Metering Analytics), allowing you to remotely restrict and
restore water service in a secure manner. The modular design of the meter gives utilities the option to order and install a
valve-ready meter first, then install the valve later.
The E-Series Ultrasonic Plus meter can be installed using horizontal or vertical piping, with water flow in the up direction. The
meter will not measure flow when an empty pipe condition is experienced. An empty pipe is defined as a condition when the
flow sensors are not fully submerged.
E-Series Ultrasonic Plus meters comply with the lead-free provisions of the Safe Drinking Water Act, are certified to
NSF/ANSI Standards 61 and 372, and carry the NSF 61 marking. All components of the meter comprise the certified system.
E-Series Ultrasonic Plus meters comply with the applicable portions of the most recent revision of the American Water Works
Association (AWWA) Standard C715.
All electronic components utilized in the E-Series Ultrasonic Plus meter and RF Transceiver design comply with applicable FCC
Part 15 standards and AWWA C707 for encoded remote reading systems.
Safety Information
