Broad Compatibility with Leading Brands
The WR-X is designed for wide compatibility, supporting major water meter brands including ZENNER (Europe), INSA/SENSUS (North America), ELSTER, DIEHL, ITRON, BAYLAN, APATOR, IKOM, and ACTARIS. Its adjustable bottom bracket ensures seamless integration across different meter types, simplifying installation and shortening project timelines. For example, a U.S. water utility reduced installation time by 30% after adopting it.
Extended Battery Life with Flexible Power Options
Equipped with replaceable Type C and Type D batteries, the device can operate for 10+ years, minimizing maintenance and environmental impact. In an Asian residential project, meters operated for over a decade without battery replacement.
Multiple Transmission Protocols
Supporting LoRaWAN, NB-IoT, LTE Cat.1, and Cat-M1, the WR-X ensures reliable data transfer under diverse network conditions. In a Middle Eastern smart city initiative, NB-IoT connectivity enabled real-time water monitoring across the grid.
Intelligent Features for Proactive Management
Beyond data collection, the WR-X integrates advanced diagnostics and remote management. In Africa, it detected an early-stage pipeline leak at a water plant, preventing losses. In South America, remote firmware updates added new data capabilities in an industrial park, enhancing operational efficiency.
