Sensus contracted Sentec for an update of their water meter product line.
The goal - an expansion of Sensus’ products range to enable them to define the new market of smart water metering.
Sentec developed the iPERL® range, a solid-state, no-moving-parts residential water meter with a battery life of up to 20 years. iPERL® provides a class leading accuracy of 2% over a 800:1 dynamic flow range. It includes improved low flow measurement, leak detection capabilities, has field upgradable firmware and data retrieval via radio frequency communications. All this at a highly attractive price point.
This project encompassed all of what Sentec offer in a single project: Innovation of a Magnetic Metering Technology, hardware and firmware development, design for and transfer to high volume manufacture, ongoing manufacturing support and a deep, open, and collaborative relationship with our client.
