What is a remote water meter and what are its characteristics?
What is a remote water meter?
1. The remote water meter is composed of an ordinary water meter and an electronic acquisition module. The electronic module completes signal acquisition, data processing, storage and uploads the data to the repeater or hand-held meter reading device through the communication line.
2. The meter body adopts an integrated design, which can record and save the user's water consumption in real time. Each water meter has a unique code. When the smart water meter receives the meter reading instruction, it can immediately upload the water meter data to the management system.
3. The remote water meter is based on an ordinary mechanical cold and hot water meter, and is composed of a remote transmission system. The main control parameters selected for the water meter part are flow rate, common flow rate, overload flow rate, small flow rate, boundary flow rate, and nominal pressure. , Maximum allowable working pressure, pressure loss, etc.

Second, the advantages and disadvantages of remote water meters
1.Advantages: real-time monitoring of water meter operation, and complete functions. Easy to install
2. Disadvantages: Due to the wired remote water meter, the water meter needs to be connected with the charging host by wire. The wiring is complicated and it is very easy to be damaged.
3. The maintenance amount after operation may be higher than the user's water bill. Therefore, it does not have the conditions for mass promotion.
4. The anti-interference ability is poor, the operation is unstable, and it does not have the conditions for mass promotion at present.
Advantages of remote water meters
1. Advantages in measurement performance: Since the photoelectric sensor is a non-rotating part fixed in the watch, it is not in contact with any mechanical rotating part. It only collects signals through light emission and reflection, which does not affect the measurement performance of the meter. Therefore, no measurement disputes will arise.
2. Advantages in manufacturing process: Due to the scheme of distributing photoelectric sensors around the word wheel, this part can be produced independently, and then installed in the meter without affecting the structure of the meter. The production process is simple, the assembly is easy, and it is suitable for mass production.
3. Advantages in service life: Since it is not in contact with the mechanical rotating part of the meter, it will not affect the perennial operation of the meter. At the same time, the photoelectric sensor usually does not work and is not energized, so its life is greatly extended. Suitable for long-term operation and repeated use.
4. The advantage of module versatility: the direct reading part of the character wheel of the direct-reading remote water meter can be made into an assembly, including the character wheel with special marks, the splint on the dial, and the electronic part. Therefore, it has good versatility, strong machinability and strong adaptability.
