You have an AMI-capable water meter, and you are quite satisfied with its ability to transmit revenue-grade readings into your system \u2013 but in certain situations, wouldn\u2019t it be useful if two or more systems were able to collect the reading from the water meter?<\/p>\n

The patent-pending Model UDA \u201cUniversal Duplexer for AMI Systems\u201d<\/strong><\/a> was designed for that exact purpose!<\/p>\n

\n

The Universal Duplexer<\/strong> enables the splitting of AMI signals from every major AMI-capable water meter to every major AMI\/AMR\/Visual endpoint in the industry \u2013 including those from Sensus<\/strong>, Neptune<\/strong>, Metron-Farnier<\/strong>, Kemp-Meek<\/strong>, Aclara<\/strong>, Mueller<\/strong>, Kamstrup<\/strong>, Badger<\/strong>, Master Meter<\/strong>, RG3<\/strong>, Zenner<\/strong>, Itron<\/strong>, Elster-AMCO<\/strong>, McCrometer<\/strong>, and many others!<\/p>\n

\n

The Universal Duplexer<\/strong> maintains all the popular functionality contained within our retired Radio-Read Filter<\/strong><\/a> device which led to its widespread acceptance at major water utilities throughout the United States and Canada. However, the addition of active electronic circuitry powered by a 10-year*, user-replaceable lithium cell provides vastly expanded meter compatibility.<\/p>\n

The Universal Duplexer<\/strong> is housed within a weather-resistant, polycarbonate NEMA-4X enclosure suitable for outdoor installations.<\/p>\n

When the water meter is owned by the utility, it is important to note that permission is required before connecting the water meter signal wires to the Universal Duplexer<\/strong>. For more information about permitting, please contact your water utility\u2019s engineering department.<\/p>\n
