A pulse counter is an electronic device that captures signals (pulses) from a mechanical water or gas meter. Each pulse corresponds to a fixed consumption unit—commonly 1 liter of water or 0.01 cubic meters of gas.
How it works:
-
The mechanical register of a water or gas meter generates pulses.
-
The pulse counter records each pulse.
-
The recorded data is transmitted via smart modules (LoRa, NB-IoT, RF).
Key applications:
-
Water metering: Remote meter reading, leak detection, consumption monitoring.
-
Gas metering: Safety monitoring, precise billing, integration with smart city platforms.
Advantages:
-
Low installation cost compared to full meter replacement
-
Accurate consumption tracking
-
Real-time monitoring capability
-
Scalability across utility networks
Pulse counters are essential for upgrading traditional meters into smart meters, supporting the digital transformation of utility systems worldwide.
