PulseRF Module

Sensus PulseRF Module allows you to integrate meters with a pulse output into the Sensus RF radio system. It is mainly used with C&I water meters, but can also be used with thermal energy, gas and electricity meters.

The module is designed to transmit meter data frequently or on request to mobile readout devices, or to a Sensus RF fixed radio network.

The PulseRF Module creates data out of incoming pulses and transmits them to an external data management system (such as a meter index, alarms or additional information as Fixed Date Reading and data logger). In addition to transmitting the meter index, the module has numerous smart functions that provide added value.

Features

• Support SensusRF and wM-Bus Radio transmission (868MHz & 433MHz)
• Transmits Consumption and Alarm Data
• Active alarm status (cable cut or module removal, leakage, broken pipe, reverse flow, low battery)
• Fast reading mode
• Extended reading mode for more detailed information
• Data logging (by steps of 1 min to 24h)
• Pulse input
• Flow direction input
• Units for energy and volume
• Remote reading and configuration capability
• Universal input
• Flexible configuration for pulse value, unit and alarm settings
• Long-lasting battery life
• Accepts pulse output from any meter (open-collector or reed switch) and converts it into SensusRF or Wireless M-Bus radio for readout
