Innov8™
Turns Any
Meter
into a Smart Meter
Maintenance Free and Longest Lifecycle
DESIGN
The water
utility industry is changing as the cost of treating and delivering
water is constantly rising. Utilities need to be more efficient while
utilizing fewer resources. Increased consumer awareness and higher
water bills must be met with responsive customer service. Information
is being demanded to analyze billing reads and consumption patterns.
Large end-users are looking for techniques to assist with conservation
and cost controls. Clearly, demands upon water industry professionals
are increasing.
PERFORMANCE
As
a result, water utility managers are looking for products that can
provide solutions. They need powerful and flexible tools to respond
to the mounting demands of the water utility. Transparent Technologies’
universal Innov8
Smart Register not only provides advanced data collection,
consumption analysis, and AMR functionality but also restores
new meter accuracy on most brands of used water meters already installed
within your distribution system.
The universal
Innov8 electronic register immediately
adds a myriad of advanced features and functions to new or used water
meters without the cost or labor to change a water meter. The Innov8
universal digital register is compatible with standard displacement,
multi-jet, turbine and compound water meters. Metering systems deploying
the Innov8
register will restore low-flow accuracy, increase billing revenue,
increase customer service features and add state-of-the-art drive-by
AMR functionality.
Increase
Resolution of Data:
Another direct benefit of the measurement principle is the data resolution.
With most odometer registers, the available data is typically only
in billing units (i.e. 1000 G or 100 Ft3). The Innov8
register records every turn of the magnet in the meter.
Billing Unit = 1000 Magnet Turn = 0.03 gal Improvement = 33,333%
Restore
and Improve Low-Flow Accuracy:
The Innov8 register adds to the measurement performance
of any meter. But when deployed on aged residential meters, the effect
is an immediate improvement in low-flow accuracy resulting in extended
life for the meter and enhanced revenue
Universal
Compatibility:
The Innov8 electronic
register can be attached to almost any common residential
or commercial water meter.
DATALOGGING
The Innov8
register has 512k (32,000 data points) of memory for datalogging which
can be programmed for intervals between 1 minute to 1 hour (the default
is 5 minutes). The data can be easily and quickly downloaded via the
RF or IR channels. Data is stored accurately with an on-board real-time
clock which makes the data appropriate for engineering studies for
district metering and infrastructure studies.
IR Port:
Used for local configuration, testing and datalogging
Embedded M2w:
Spread Spectrum Radio: High-Performance AMR
and 2-way remote datalogging
Standard AMR Output:
An industry standard 2-wire/3-wire output
for radios and touchpads
Scaleable Pulse Output:
Total (volume) output for general SCADA
4-20 mA SCADA Output: Flowrate output for SCADA
Valve Control
Output:
Output for Remote Shutoff Valve
