Electronic Water Meters Data Transfer and Communication Capabilities for Accounting Settlement Systems

The Badger Meter E-Series offers a successful data transfer between E-Series meters
with 868 MHz radio and the ELVACO data collector module CMe3100 / CMeX13s. The various standardised communication modules of Badger Meter offer the possibility to connect the water meter with various, already by customer existing billing systems as well as to transfer the data. This allows especially the transfer of the current meter reading, the current flow, the remaining life of the battery, as well as various alarm messages.

As a transfer unit the ELVACO solution is preferred in countries of the Middle East, as this method allows to readout data from up to 500 meters with only one single unit and can be stored and forwarded to a billing system. The data from the meter are transmitted wirelessly and are collected in the CMEX13s. Thereafter, the data are passed to the billing system via the CMe3100 by an M-Bus interface or Ethernet.
