Although the EtherMeterĀ® is designed primarily as a SCADA gateway for water meters equipped with absolute encoder signals, it also provides support for dry-contact pulse output flow meters.Ā  These can include gas meters, electric meters, water meters, wastewater meters, steam meters, hot water meters, and many others. When interfacing with mechanical pulse meters, a common Read More →

In instances where the pulse input signal is derived from a mechanical contact (eg reed-relay pulse signals from many gas meters), it may be necessary to install a “de-bounce” filter on the pulse-input wires to remove false pulses caused by bouncing and/or arcing contacts. The capacitor value is selected based upon the expected pulse duration. Read More →
