Single-Jet dry type water meter

with LoRa application

1- Application

SJ-SDC/ SJ-SDC-PLUS (LoRa application) is the smart water meter based on single jet mechanical dry type water
meter, the meter reading data transfer from Non-magnetic pulses counting to LoRa module to realize wireless
remote reading, real time flow status monitoring and consumption behavior analysis, the appearance is shown in
Figure 1

3. - Key points

Transmission module and base meter is separately installed, easily exchanged. The power supply
battery is independently packaged and is convenient to replace.

A- Use the latest LoRa data transmission technology, network cover wide, signal is stable and reliable. C-

The transmission position is 1L.

D- Based on the original base meter, it can directly install transmission module, only increase 28CM, the

module can rotate, it’s very easy and convenient to install.

E- The base meter adopt the independent function pointer, after installing the electronic module, it doesn’t

affect any reading.

F- During the process of water meter with transmission module, it often happen the problem of repeated

counting because the water flow reverse and shake.

Using two sensors and a special algorithm can ensure the accuracy of the count.

G- 26500+SPC1520 power combination technology, normally ER26500 battery is used for water meter

working with lower power consumption and charge for SPC1520. When LORA need to launch, SPC1520

can provide power supply with maximum peak current up to 2A, to ensure the stability of emission.

The battery can be replaced. Open the battery box seals and screws, remove the battery box, and replace

the new battery box as shown in Figure 6. If the meter has already been installed, no need to remove

the module, , just directly replace the battery as shown in picture.
