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.
Pe r fo 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.
Lea k D e t ec tion : 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.
Tam pe 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.
Theft : 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.
Zer o C o n s u m p ti 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.
Da ta 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.
Ba tte 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
