RS-485/M-bus Valve-controlled Wired Water Meter

RS-485/M-bus Valve-controlled Wired Water Meter

 Overview

The photoelectric direct-reading valve-controlled water meter adopts photoelectric direct-reading technology to read character wheel data. Compared with traditional pulse meters, it reduces the reading error to zero, making it an electronic remote-transmission water meter with zero electromechanical conversion error for automatic meter reading systems. It features a low-power design, requiring no power supply in normal operation—power is only needed during meter reading or valve operation.

 Functional Features

  1. This series of remote-transmission water meters adopts a dry-type structure.
  2. Easy reading, with clear display maintained for a long time.
  3. Equipped with photoelectric encoding passive direct-reading technology.
  4. Water usage can be controlled via the valve.
