Jim ‘Slim’ Mimlitz, SCADAmetrics<\/p><\/div>SCADAmetrics is pleased to report that the EtherMeter\u00a0has been\u00a0verified compatible with the TOMAHAWK<\/strong>\u00a0absolute encoder water meter register offered by RG3 Meter Company (Longview, TX)<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n

TOMAHAWK Water Meter Register Data Sheet.<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

The TOMAHAWK<\/strong>\u00a0features an internal microprocessor, transmits a high-resolution 8-digit consumption message, and is internally-powered with a 20-year battery.<\/p>\n

When connected to a SCADAmetrics EtherMeter<\/strong>, the high-resolution allows 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.\u00a0 However, it is important to note that the TOMAHAWK<\/b>\u00a0may also\u00a0be ordered with the option to transmit less than the maximum number of digits.\u00a0 Therefore,\u00a0when ordering\u00a0a\u00a0TOMAHAWK<\/b>\u00a0register from RG3 Meter, it is important to specify that the\u00a0register be pre-programmed to transmit ALL<\/em><\/span> available digits!<\/p>\n

The TOMAHAWK<\/b>\u00a0family of registers is compatible with RG3 Meter’s Turbo, Compound, and Positive Displacement meters.<\/p>\n

Also\u00a0\u2014 and this is a very important development<\/strong><\/span>\u00a0\u2014 the TOMAHAWK<\/strong>\u00a0can be installed as a third-party replacement register<\/strong> for many OTHER<\/strong> makes\/models of water meter!<\/p>\n

For example, Elster-AMCO\/Kent<\/strong>, Neptune<\/strong>, Badger<\/strong>, Sensus<\/strong>, Hersey\/Mueller<\/strong>, and Precision<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Notable on that list is Elster-AMCO<\/strong>, who no longer manufactures parts or registers for their commercial turbo meters or residential positive-displacement meters.\u00a0 The TOMAHAWK can therefore be used to retrofit these meters with modern, absolute-encoder-type registers.<\/p>\n

The EtherMeter Compatibility Matrix <\/a>has been updated to reflect these results.\u00a0 Test register provided courtesy\u00a0of RG3 Meter Company. (Longview, TX).<\/p>\n
