Modernizing water metering doesn’t always require replacing existing meters. In fact, most legacy water meters can be upgraded if they support standard output interfaces such as pulse signals, non-magnetic direct reading, RS-485, or M-Bus.
With the right retrofit tool—like a Pulse Reader—utilities and property owners can quickly and cost-effectively bring older infrastructure into the smart era.
✅ Supported Meter Types for Pulse Reader Upgrade
Mechanical pulse meters
Non-magnetic direct-read meters
Digital meters with RS-485 interface
M-Bus interface meters
One Device, Many Interfaces — The Power of the Pulse Reader
Our Pulse Reader is a universal retrofit tool supporting:
Pulse signal input (dry contact, reed switch, Hall sensor)
RS-485 communication (Modbus / DL protocols)
M-Bus input with data parsing capability
Non-magnetic wheel decoding for compatible meters
Wireless options include LoRa, LoRaWAN, NB-IoT, and CAT-1.
No need to replace the meter — just connect the Pulse Reader and go smart.
Why Retrofit Instead of Replace?
Save cost: Avoid expensive large-scale meter replacements
Speed up deployment: Minimal service interruption
Reduce waste: Extend the useful life of existing assets
Scalable: Easily upgrade thousands of meters at once
Smart Water Management Starts With Smart Retrofitting
Whether for city utilities, property managers, or industrial parks, the Pulse Reader offers a single-solution pathway to transform existing meters of multiple types into smart, connected endpoints.
Retrofitting is not a compromise — it’s a smart strategy to make the old smart again.
