Benefits of Photoelectric Direct Reading Water Meter
1

High reliability

No active electronic components are involved in the core metering process; data is collected solely through optical recognition. The service life is the same as mechanical water meters, reaching over 10 years;

2

Ultra-long battery life

The battery only supplies power during meter reading. Combined with industrial-grade lithium thionyl chloride batteries, the battery life can reach 8-15 years, eliminating the need for frequent replacement;

3

Strong anti-interference

Unaffected by impurities in the water, external magnetic fields, voltage fluctuations, etc., ensuring strong reading stability;

4

High compatibility

Can directly replace existing mechanical water meters without modifying the water supply pipes, adapting to both new and old scenarios.

Two Mainstream Technologies of Photoelectric Water Meters

 

Transmissive Photoelectric Direct Reading

The register wheel uses an alternating design of transparent and opaque areas. The LED illuminates from one side, and the photosensitive element receives the light on the other side. For example, the number "3" corresponds to 3 light-transmitting holes, and the receiver detects 3 light transmission signals to determine "3". This technology has a simple structure and controllable cost, requiring only basic requirements for the uniformity and cleanliness of the register wheel material, and avoiding obstruction by stains.

Reflective Photoelectric Encoding

The surface of the register wheel is printed with alternating black and white absolute encoding patterns. The LED and receiver are located on the same side. Different numbers correspond to a unique reflected light pattern, and even with partial obstruction, the algorithm can correct and identify the number. It has stronger anti-pollution capabilities, is suitable for complex scenarios with poor water quality, and demonstrates superior technological advancement.

Both technologies are essentially absolute encoding recognition, reading the current actual water consumption each time, rather than the accumulated number of pulses, thus fundamentally avoiding the inherent errors of pulse counting.

FAQ

 

Q: What are the components of a water meter?

A: A water meter's core components include the meter body, the measuring element (like an impeller or disc), and a register that displays the total volume of water consumed. Depending on the type, it may also have an anti-magnetic ring for protection, a strainer to filter debris, and a transmission device for remote reading in smart meters.

Q: How is routine maintenance performed?

A: Keep pipe connections secure and periodically inspect the meter well.

Q: How is it installed?

A: Installation is like a standard water meter, following the flow direction marked on the meter body.

Q: What payment methods are accepted?

A: We accept various payment methods, including T/T, L/C, PayPal, and others.

Q: What trade terms are available?

A: We support international trade terms such as FOB, CIF, EXW, and others.

Q: Do you accept custom design on size?

A: Yes, if the size is reasonable.
