FlowPulse is a static pulse emitter designed to integrate Maddalena MVM, MVM PLUS C and WMAP EVO water meters into remote reading, dosing and monitoring systems. Based on a microprocessor and an inductive electronic sensor, it enables reliable pulse detection without affecting the meter’s metrological performance. The five-conductor structure allows pulse, flow direction, fraud signalling, ground and forward pulse counting to be managed. Thanks to its IP68 protection rating, environmental class C and electromagnetic class E2, FlowPulse is suitable for demanding technical applications. It can also be installed at a later stage on pre-equipped meters, simplifying upgrades and retrofits of existing systems.
• Static pulse emitter with NPN open collector output.
• Equipped with microprocessor and inductive electronic sensor.
• Five-conductor cable for complete signal management.
• Detects removal from the meter, useful for fraud signalling.
• Discriminates flow direction, distinguishing forward and reverse flow.
• Insensitive to mechanical vibrations.
• Can also be installed at a later stage on pre-equipped meters.
• Does not affect meter performance.
• Configurable with dual pulse output.
• IP68 protection rating
