SCADAmetrics is pleased to report that the EtherMeter has been verified compatible with the new high-resolution, absolute-encoder water meter registers offered by Badger Meter (Milwaukee, WI). Badger’s new register family — the HR-E (High Resolution Encoder) — offers vastly improved resolution over its legacy absolute encoder, the 6-Digit ADE. The High Resolution Encoder is offered in two variations: … Read More →
A new firmware version of the EtherMeter has been created that is tailored to transmit flow metering data over the Iridium Satellite Data Network. Iridium is a constellation of Low-Earth-Orbit satellites capable of receiving data from virtually anywhere in the world. Validation was successfully performed at a Water District in rural North Dakota. Value-added SCADA … Read More →
When totalizing the total accumulated flow through a non-absolute-encoder flow meter, it is generally preferable to interface with a pulse-per-volume signal (eg. 1 pulse per gallon). However, certain flow meters only offer a 4-20mA signal that is proportional to rate-of-flow. Examples include certain Parshall Flume-Type Wastewater Flow Meters, Differential-Pressure Flow Meters, WH Power Meters, and many … Read More →
