Sensus contracted Sentec for an update of their water meter product line, with the goal of expanding 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, product to design for and transfer to high volume manufacture, ongoing manufacturing support and a deep, open, and collaborative relationship with our client.
