Do you want a better meter or a smart meter? Aquiba's A200 water meter is both!
The A200 is a better meter, with its static technology and accurate metrology throughout its lifetime and, if required, it's a smart meter, with integrated radio, remote data reporting and in-field upgrade.
Aquiba’s A200 smart water meter provides benefits for all water companies and for their customers:
- Information on usage for both customer and supplier
- Accurate metering across the full range of flow rates
- No moving parts – no wear – no loss of measurement throughout the meter lifetime
- Accurate calculation of loss (leakage and unauthorised use) in the network
- Time stamped data
- Detection of abnormal usage patterns, such as exceeding a total flow in a given time
- Detection of continuous low flow in the household
- Remote reading, by radio (A200-Z), reducing field service and call centre costs
- Longevity - depending on radio usage, battery life will exceed 15 years and the meter can be factory refurbished at least once, extending its service life
- Sensitive detection of reverse flow.
The A200 meter is available with a range of options and accessories.
The A200-Z has a fully integrated ZigBee® radio SEP 1.0.
Optical Interface
The A200 is supplied with a secure optical interface and an optical reader/programmer is available for applications where there is no radio communications network.
