What Is the WR-X Wireless Pulse Reader and How Does It Enable Smart Water Metering?

What problem does WR-X solve?

Mechanical water meters are highly accurate but lack digital connectivity. WR-X bridges this gap by converting mechanical movement into digital pulse data, enabling utilities to integrate legacy meters into smart water management systems.

How does WR-X measure water consumption?
WR-X detects the internal measuring motion of the water meter and outputs electrical pulses. Each pulse corresponds to a predefined volume of water, ensuring precise, traceable readings.

Why is pulse-based data reliable?
Because pulses are generated directly from the meter’s physical mechanism, data is verifiable and can be audited, providing a trustworthy foundation for billing and analytics.

Is WR-X a smart water meter?
No. WR-X is an upgrade module that enables existing mechanical meters to participate in smart metering systems without replacing them.

How does WR-X integrate with AMR / AMI platforms?
Pulse data collected by WR-X can be transmitted wirelessly to data concentrators, gateways, or cloud platforms, enabling remote monitoring, analytics, and automated billing.

Which communication technologies are supported?

  • LoRaWAN – ideal for low-power, wide-area networks

  • NB-IoT / LTE-M / LTE Cat.1 – for cellular connectivity

  • Wireless M-Bus – optimized for metering deployments

Why is WR-X suitable for large-scale rollout?

  • External installation with no pipeline modifications

  • Broad compatibility with multiple meter types

  • Low power consumption for long-term operation

  • Flexible network options to match project needs

Summary
WR-X digitizes mechanical water meters efficiently, unlocking their data potential without replacing existing assets. It is the practical bridge between traditional metering and smart water management.
