Elster AMCO
(ABB/Kent)
evoQ4
Mag-Meter
Sensus-
Protocol
Option
Likely Compatible (based upon published specifications).
Excellent
register for SCADA System interrogation of encoder register.
Provides high-resolution totalization (8 digits).
The high-resolution totalization speeds the flow-rate calculation and detection of
reverse flows.
Provides accurate measurement of bi-directional flow-rate and totalization.
Battery-powered (10-year battery life).
Register requires user/factory pre-programming. The maximum (8 digits) is
recommended.
Wiring Color Codes: RED=TX, GREEN=RX, BLACK=CMN
Hersey
Translator
Compatible (based upon laboratory and/or field testing).
Test Register provided courtesy of Hersey Meter.
Good
register for SCADA System interrogation of encoder register.
Provides medium-resolution totalization (6 digits).
The medium-resolution totalization delays flow-rate calculations and reverse-flow
detection. (The “FIXED DTOTAL” flow calculation method is recommended.)
Does not contain or require a battery, as it draws its power from the interrogation
device.
Can be interrogated every 8 seconds (328,500 times per month), with no apparent
wear.
Register requires factory pre-programming. The maximum (6 digits) is
recommended.
Wiring Color Codes: RED=TX, WHITE=RX, BLACK=CMN
Itron
(Actaris)
Cyble™ Coder
Compatible (based upon laboratory and/or field testing).
Test Register provided courtesy of Actaris.
Excellent
register for SCADA System interrogation of encoder register.
Provides high-resolution totalization (8 digits).
The high-resolution totalization speeds the flow-rate calculation and detection of
reverse flows.
Contains an internal battery, but the battery is not depleted with each interrogation.
Therefore can be interrogated every 8 seconds without degrading battery life. The
battery is rated for 12 years. After the battery is depleted, the register and Cyble™
Coder must be replaced.
Can be interrogated every 8 seconds (328,500 times per month), with no apparent
wear.
Register requires factory pre-programming. The maximum (8 digits) is
recommended.
