Off-Site Water Metering

How Off-Site Water Metering Works

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.

Why You Should Use Off-Site Water Metering

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.
