Application Examples
Remote Reading, In combination with a remote reading system or computerized data acquisition system, it is possible to collect and process water usage data in in multi-apartment house, in places with no access, or wherever it is required to bring all data to one point.
Feeding electrical output to a batching controller enables pre-setting and delivering of accurate volumes of water in irrigation systems, industrial process etc.
Reed Switch (EV) Sensor
A magnet activates this sensor. It acts as a “Dry Contact “and does not consume electric power. This is the most suitable sensor for “VOLUME” measurement and in such applications its operating life is practically unlimited (ca. 100 million cycles). The maximum contact current is 50mA and maximum voltage is 48v.
SINGLE REED-SWITCH - VOLUME OUTPUT
A 3 pointer register with magnet installed on one of them. The reed switch sensor is installed in hermetically sealed transparent plastic cover that is mounted by the Arad factory in one of 3 positions facing the pointer with the magnet. The choice of 3 values of output is thus available in 1:10:100 ratios.
The reed switch is attached to the meter dial cover by a bayonet fixing, this allows simple replacement of damaged reed switches in the field. This bayonet fixing also allows the electrical output to be installed retrospectively; simply install the electrical output version of the meter in the pipework but without its reed switch fitted, then “upgrade” the meter later by adding the reed switch when required.
