Jim ‘Slim’ Mimlitz, SCADAmetrics<\/p><\/div>SCADAmetrics is pleased to report that the EtherMeter\u00a0has been\u00a0verified compatible with the new high-resolution, absolute-encoder water meter registers offered by Badger Meter (Milwaukee, WI)<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Badger’s new register family — the HR-E (H<\/span>igh R<\/span>esolution E<\/span>ncoder)<\/a> — offers\u00a0vastly improved resolution over its legacy absolute encoder, the 6-Digit ADE.<\/p>\n

The High Resolution Encoder is offered in two variations: (1) the HR-E-LCD (fully electronic) and (2) the HR-E-MECH (electro-mechanical).<\/p>\n

The HR-E-LCD features an internal microprocessor & LCD display,\u00a0transmits 9 digits of consumption resolution, and\u00a0is internal\u00a0battery-powered; whereas the HR-E-MECH features an electro-mechanical odometer display, transmits\u00a08 digits of consumption resolution, and does not contain (or require) an internal battery.<\/p>\n

When connected to a SCADAmetrics EtherMeter, the increased 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 HR-E may also\u00a0be ordered with the option to transmit less than the maximum number of digits.\u00a0 Therefore,\u00a0when ordering\u00a0an HR-E\u00a0register from Badger Meter, it is important to specify that the\u00a0register be pre-programmed to transmit ALL<\/em><\/span> available digits!<\/p>\n

The HR-E family of registers is compatible with Badger’s\u00a0Turbo Series, Recordall\u00ae Disc Series, Compound Series, and Fire Service meters. The HR-E can be easily retrofitted to meters that are currently\u00a0outfitted with legacy ADE\u00a0or RTR registers.<\/p>\n

Interested in more information?\u00a0 Give us a call.\u00a0 We’ll be glad to discuss how the EtherMeter and Badger flow meters can be combined to bring revenue-grade totalization and rate-of-flow information into your SCADA, Telemetry, or Building Automation System.<\/p>\n

The EtherMeter Compatibility Matrix <\/a>has been updated to reflect these results.\u00a0 Test registers provided courtesy\u00a0of ABS Water Cooperative (Clayton, Illinois).<\/p>\n
