The Honeywell (Elster) evoQ4<\/strong><\/a> is a very popular magnetic flow meter in use throughout North America.\u00a0 It is available with an Absolute Encoder Output signal, pulse signal, or both.\u00a0 At time of purchase, the AMR encoder signal may be specified as either “Elster K-Frame” protocol<\/strong> or “Sensus” protocol<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

If you would like to connect an evoQ4 to your SCADA, Telemetry, or Building Automation system — the SCADAmetrics EtherMeter\u00ae<\/strong> is the perfect tool to help!… as the EtherMeter can translate Elster (or Sensus) protocol meter readings from the evoQ4 into Modbus, Allen-Bradley EtherNet\/IP, and Allen-Bradley DF1.<\/p>\n

The following diagram illustrates connection of an evoQ4 to an automation system. Please note that the EtherMeter may be connected to the evoQ4 using the AMR encoder signal, the pulse signal, or both<\/strong><\/em> encoder and pulse (shown):<\/p>\n

In certain instances, the evoQ4 is already connected to the Water Utility’s AMR\/AMI system.\u00a0 However, with the use of a SCADAmetrics Duplexer, this is not a problem.\u00a0 The following diagram illustrates how an evoQ4 may be “co-metered”<\/strong><\/em> by both the Water Utility and an Automation System. Please note that the EtherMeter may be connected to the evoQ4 using the AMR encoder signal, the pulse signal, or both<\/strong><\/em> encoder and pulse (shown):<\/p>\n
