Overview
There are two types:
- Wired: for an apartment block
- Radio Frequency (RF): conglomerate of apartment blocks
Features
Features:
- Hot and cold water are monitored and reported separately so as to recover heating costs of hot water from a centralized point, such as with a heat pump system.
- BSI water meters provide a magnetic pulse output. (Click here to see our Domestic Water Meters)
- Battery backup for power failures.
- BSI servers are located at a highly reliable data centre ensuring redundancy and 24/7/365 access.
- An exception reporting module can also be added to alert the Client via sms or email in the case of irregular readings which could indicate faults, leaks or burst water pipes.
- The managing agent, building manager or centralized office will have credentials to log into the online Waterlogged™ portal to draw usage figures for each water meter. From here the Client can export the data for analysis and billing.
Basic Operation
Basic Operation:
- Water meters are mounted in accessible service ducts.
- An Electronic Metering Device (EMD) attached to each water meter monitors the electronic pulse outputs from the water meter.
- Data collected is transmitted along a common bus, also housed in the accessible service ducts, and taken vertically all the way down to the BSI Server on the ground floor.
- In a conglomerate of apartment blocks at a single site, Radio Frequency will be used to transmit data collected from each block to a centralised BSI server on site.
