In the past, Automatic Meter Reading (AMR) Systems for municipal water were generally limited to collecting flow totalization from water meters that were natively outfitted with a Sensus\/Neptune protocol signal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Today, the SCADAmetrics Encodalizer\u2122<\/strong> is able to provide a Sensus\/Neptune protocol option to many flow meters that otherwise would be precluded from your AMR\/AMI system.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

One potential example would be the addition of a Siemens HydroRanger 200 open-channel flow meter into an AMR system. The HydroRanger 200 is typically used to monitor flows through open channel wet wells, flumes, and weirs; and its integral LCD display shows totalization (gal), as well as instantaneous flow rate rate (gpm). Because the totalization is also available via Modbus\/RTU, it may be converted into Sensus\/Neptune protocols with a SCADAmetrics Encodalizer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Because Modbus technology provides the Encodalizer with a direct digital connection to the HydroRanger’s internal memory registers, the Encodalizer is thereby able to provide the connected AMR\/AMI system with a Sensus\/Neptune-Protocol totalizer reading that is a perfect match to the reading displayed on the HydroRanger itself! \u2013 We call this Revenue Grade Accuracy!<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
