IWM-TX5 Remote Reading System | B Meters

IWM-TX5

Wireless M-BUS module for GSD8-I water meters

IWM-TX5 is designed to enable wireless remote reading in different types of applications in the residential, commercial and industrial sectors. The radio module, thanks to the presence of the inductive target in the meter dial, allows the reading of the volume consumption without on-site intervention, in walk-by mode or AMR (automatic meter reading), in respect of the WMBUS standard.

Features:

Consumption analysis with reverse flow compensation that provides an always perfect alignment between the totaliser and the water meter.
Fraud control (removal of the radio module, application of external magnetic field and NFC field, reverse flow, leakage detection).
Magnetic/NFC tampering of the meter and removal are recorded and reported to the receiving system via radio transmission.
The presence of reverse flow is recorded in an additional register that allows calculating the amount of water passed in reverse.
The leakage detection can be monitored at the time of reading or by the AMR system if a timely update is desired.
The IP65 protection class allows the use of the module also for water meters installed in difficult environments.
NFC interface allows configuration and commissioning of the device with the use of a simple Android app for smartphones and tablets or other NFC devices.
