Neptune Technology Group<\/a><\/strong> (Tallassee, Alabama, USA) manufactures a broad line of flow meters and AMI\/AMR systems, serving the municipal water utility industry. Here at SCADAmetrics (Wildwood, MO)<\/a><\/strong>, we manufacture flow metering instrumentation in support of this industry, with the stated mission of helping users extend such meters for enhanced SCADA interoperability and functionality.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Neptune’s Flow Meters Include the Mach-10 Ultrasonic (pictured above), the T-10, High-Performance Turbine, and the Tru-Flo Compound.<\/em><\/strong><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

SCADAmetrics offers a wide range of instrumentation that extends the capabilities of Neptune flow meters and AMI systems. Many of those value-added scenarios are documented HERE<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In addition to the scenarios illustrated in the aforementioned article, another application is replacement of the (discontinued) Neptune Smarttrol device.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The combination of SCADAmetrics EMP Signalizer<\/a><\/strong> and APK.PLUS Analog\/Pulse Kit Plus<\/a><\/strong> can often serve as a similar (but not identical) replacement for the discontinued Neptune Smarttrol.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The SCADAmetrics model APK.PLUS<\/a><\/strong> is housed in a NEMA-4X enclosure, and it provides an always-on, 2×16 backlit visual LCD display, which emphasizes the following data:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
