Electronic radio module E-RM 30 for residential water meters Apator Powogaz

Data reading

E-RM 30 rod antenna features a very good efficiency. Due to this high-quality signal it is possible to read data without entering the building even in case of installation in the shaft of multiple-storey building. Data reading can be made by billing company employee using mobile receiving unit. Data can be also read by central reading system CRS 40 permanently installed in the building if required.

If radio heat cost allocators E-ITN 30 are also used, data are read simultaneously.

User control

Every user can control current value on analogue dial of water meter.

Protection against cheating

In contrast to the traditional water meter, radio module can E-RM 30 distinguish the direction of water flow - it is thus possible to detect manipulation with water meter (its turning).

The radio module can be of course secured by conventional mechanical seal against its removal from the water meter. The radio module is equipped with an electronic seal that allows you to identify unauthorized manipulation and record the exact date. Information about such manipulation is transmitted in radio signal.

Month consumptions for forward and back flow for past 12 months can be read from the radio module memory via infra-red interface.

Water meters Apator Powogaz are extraordinary protected against the effects of magnetic field.
