BBUWM-R Residential Ultrasonic Water Meter

BBUWM-R residential ultrasonic water meter

Product Overview

BBUWM-R is an ultrasonic water meter for residential, commercial, and utility metering. It uses the transit-time difference between upstream and downstream ultrasonic signals to measure, display, store, and remotely transmit water-consumption data.

With no mechanical measuring element, the meter supports NB-IoT/CAT.1, RS485, and M-BUS communication.

Key Features

  • Five sizes from DN15 to DN40
  • Bidirectional ultrasonic measurement
  • Selectable R125 to R500 measuring range
  • Horizontal or vertical installation
  • IP68 protection
  • 8-digit LCD
  • Up to 750 days of local records
  • Optional leakage, burst-pipe, scaling, and abnormal-use alarms
