Introduction of wired and wireless solutions for remote water meters
For the early mechanical water meters that could only achieve the measurement function, more people responded to inaccurate measurement or manual meter reading, which was inconvenient or there would be mistakes or missed readings. Now the popular remote water meter is a new type of water meter that can replace the old water meter. The method of remote water meter is directly related to the requirements of the management party and the application environment. Of course, the cost budget is also very different. Let me introduce you:
To understand it purely literally, one is that there is no need to transmit the meter reading data by wire, and there is no need to install wiring, and data can be transmitted through LoRa, NB-IoT; the other is that wire transmission is required for meter reading. The communication methods are generally divided into : RS-485 and M-BUS; they only use different transmission methods, and the effect is the same. Whether it is a wired remote water meter or a wireless remote water meter, they all have the ability to transmit data remotely, and can achieve remote Meter reading, remote switch valve and other operations can all achieve the effect of remote meter reading.
Wired remote water meters are remote water meters based on wired cables and are often available where cables are easily laid. The price of this kind of remote water meter will be relatively low, but it is easy to be hindered during the construction of the wiring. If it is the renovation of the old community, the residential houses have been renovated, and the wiring needs to be re-drilled. The residents are more disgusted and the construction will be difficult. The wireless remote water meter is based on the traditional metering instrument, equipped with a dedicated wireless transmission module to realize the wireless transmission and command reception of meter measurement data and other data, and execute corresponding command operations.
The above is the introduction of the wired and wireless solutions of remote water meters. SH-METERS specializes in producing remote water meters of various calibers. If you are interested in our products, please leave a message online.
