BBUWM-V Valve-Controlled Ultrasonic Water Meter

BBUWM-V valve-controlled ultrasonic water meter

Product Overview

BBUWM-V is a valve-controlled ultrasonic water meter that uses the transit-time principle to calculate flow from the propagation-time difference between upstream and downstream ultrasonic signals. It measures, displays, and stores water consumption and includes an integrated motorized valve for remote shutoff and reopening.

NB-IoT/CAT.1, RS485, and M-BUS communication options support integration with remote reading and water-management systems. DN15, DN20, and DN25 versions are available.

Key Features

  • Transit-time ultrasonic measurement with no mechanical impeller
  • Integrated motorized valve for remote control
  • NB-IoT/CAT.1, RS485, and M-BUS communication
  • Selectable R125 to R500 measuring range
  • Forward and reverse flow measurement
  • IP68 protection
  • Up to 750 days of local water-consumption records
  • Optional leakage, burst-pipe, scaling, and abnormal-use alarms
