Re: Installing a meter reading system
Hello Bill, Im afraid that I have not heard of retrofit kits for water meters. The Pulse Output reed switch is really buried below where the wires come out of the face. It engages with a magnet that is affixed to the slowest moving dial. Every time this slow dial goes around it trips the reed switch...

Re: Installing a meter reading system
Hello Bill, Do you know if the water meters that you have already installed have a pulse output? This would be a small sensor on the face of the meter that detects when the dials indicating consumption complete a revolution. This sensor would close a micro switch every time a defined amount of water...

Re: Relay to connect/disconnect power supply
We do not offer the functionality to be able to control a relay at this time. This is something that we are very interested in offering in the future.
We will update this post when it is available.
Best regards,

Re: extra IO pin on Omnimeter V3 meter?
Interesting idea Bill! I like it. This is a unique idea for sensing on the 3rd voltage input (the 3rd input is not used on the EKM-Omnimeter in a single phase 3-wire system) If the meter does not have a CT input on line 3 and you were to have a switched voltage input (controlled by a thermostat) on ...

Re: Creating software to communicate with meter
How you communicate with the meter using your own software is up to how you write your software. In the case of our EKM Dash software, we open serial ports (either Serial RS232, USB COM ports, or Virtual Serial ports in the case of the iSerial) to the proper serial settings and then we write (send t...

Re: Firmware
Hello Bill, By all intents and purposes the firmware is not upgradeable. If there are features that we decide to develop and to add to our line of meters, we need to "bake" these in to the hardware design and the underlying firmware. If we have enough of a demand for a particular feature w...

Re: extra IO pin on Omnimeter V3 meter?
Hello Jean-Francois That is interesting! I have never heard of this type of Utility Tariff Scheme before. In parts of California there are customers that get charged more if the local average temperature is projected to be over a set level (this is not measured at each individual meter). Interfacing...

Re: Water meter ratio
Hello Ed, With the Pulse Input meter (25EDSP-N in your case) you can set the pulse input ratio to anything from 1:1 to 9999:1. This is so if you have something that pulses really fast, the counter will not go too high too quickly. If you have the pulse input ratio set to 1000:1 (the default setting)...

Re: The T's
Hi Bill, So if I was interested in 4 events (I changed to word from periods to events for clarity) Say (5a to 7a) (8a to 10a) (1p to 2p) (3p to 5p) I could only do 2 of them due to the periods in between the interested events. (P1 5a to 7a) (P2 7a to 8a) (P3 8a to 10a) (P4 10a to 5a) Yes you have it...
