Jim ‘Slim’ Mimlitz, SCADAmetrics<\/p><\/div>During the period 2014 through 2016, McCrometer Inc. (Hemet, CA)<\/strong><\/a>\u00a0rolled out AMR communication modules for its entire line of propeller-based and magnetic flow meters. \u00a0To date, SCADAmetrics has performed validation testing on these meters, and compatibility has been verified 100%.<\/p>\n

Models include all Propeller-Type Meters and all Magnetic Flow Meters with the AMR communication option, which McCrometer calls “SmartOutput™<\/strong>“.<\/p>\n

\"\" <\/p>\n

The SmartOutput™ is offered in three variations: 6-digit<\/strong>, 8-digit<\/strong>, and 9-digit<\/strong>; and the EtherMeter is compatible with all variations. \u00a0If the McCrometer flow meter is to be connected to an EtherMeter only, then 9-digit<\/strong> is recommended. \u00a0However, if the meter is also to be connected to an AMR System, then the number of digits should be selected based upon AMR system compatibility.<\/p>\n

When connected to a SCADAmetrics EtherMeter, the increased resolution provided by 8- and 9-digit SmartOutput™\u00a0allows the user to collect realtime rate-of-flow information and also helps with leak detection algorithms.\u00a0 And, as with all encoder-type registers, it allows for revenue-grade-accurate totalization.<\/p>\n

When connecting the EtherMeter to a McCrometer MagMeter Transmitter, please note that you can use either the AMR cable provided by McCrometer, or you can replace with your own cable. \u00a0A good choice is Belden 8723<\/strong> or equivalent. \u00a0Access to the AMR signal terminal block and power terminal block is through the rear cover. \u00a0A 5mm Allen Wrench<\/strong> is required to open the cover.<\/p>\n

If the McCrometer Transmitter is equipped for Sensus Compatibility (8 Digit Option)<\/strong>, then the AMR cable will land on the EtherMeter as follows:<\/p>\n

ETHERMETER.TERMINAL.14 – RED<\/strong>
\nETHERMETER.TERMINAL.15 – GREEN<\/strong>
\nETHERMETER.TERMINAL.16 – BLACK<\/strong><\/p>\n

If the McCrometer Transmitter is equipped for Itron Compatibility (9 or 6 Digit Options)<\/strong>, then the AMR cable will land on the EtherMeter as follows:<\/p>\n

ETHERMETER.TERMINAL.14 – BLACK<\/strong>
\nETHERMETER.TERMINAL.15 – RED<\/strong>
\nETHERMETER.TERMINAL.16 – WHITE<\/strong><\/p>\n

For detailed reference, SCADAmetrics has published an Application Note for EtherMeter \/ McCrometer projects:<\/p>\n

Interested in more information?\u00a0 Give us a call.\u00a0 We\u2019ll be glad to discuss how the EtherMeter and McCrometer flow meters can be combined to bring revenue-grade totalization and rate-of-flow information into your SCADA, Telemetry, or Building Automation System.<\/p>\n

The EtherMeter Compatibility Matrix <\/a><\/strong>has been updated to reflect these results.\u00a0 Test meters provided courtesy of McCrometer Inc. (Hemet, CA).<\/p>\n
