四、Performance characteristics
1. There are no moving parts in the ultrasonic water meter body, mechanical wear can be
used stably and reliably for a long time, and measurement accuracy can be maintained for a long
time.
2. The ultrasonic water meter has a large range ratio and a small initial flow rate, and the
range ratio of the water meter can reach: R250, R400; The initial flow rate of the water meter can
be as small as 2-3 liters per hour.
3. The measurement accuracy of ultrasonic water meter is after operation, but factory
inspection can be required according to Grade 1 accuracy standard.
4. Ultrasonic water meter has strong adaptability to fluid temperature changes, and can
achieve T30/T50/T70 temperature grade.
5. Ultrasonic water meter has strong antistatic and anti-magnetic interference capabilities,
and antistatic can reach more than 12000V V.
6. The ultrasonic water meter adopts micro-power consumption design technology to
minimize the comprehensive power consumption of the water meter and has a service life of more
than 6 +2 years.

 7. Ultrasonic water meter can choose a variety of communication modes, such as NB-IOT.
LoRa, LoRaWAN, M-Bus. RS485, pulse, etc., and is equipped with infrared communication
mechanism, through which instrument parameters can be configured or instrument data can be
read.
8. Ultrasonic water meter has the function of long-term data storage, which can realize data
storage and recording of year, month and day, which is beneficial for management departments to
analyze water consumption big data and make reasonable water consumption decisions.
9. Ultrasonic water meter has a water flow direction identification mechanism, which can
measure forward and reverse flow, and can adopt a variety of forward and reverse flow statistics
and display methods, so as to use units for data analysis.
10. The ultrasonic water meter has an alarm mechanism for long-term water running (leakage
alarm) and an oath reporting mechanism for a single water running exceeding a preset amount,
which can timely remind users whether there is water leakage in the household water pipe and
whether they forget to turn off the faucet.
11. The ultrasonic water meter has an empty pipe alarm mechanism, which can be used as an
abnormal disassembly alarm after running water normally for a long time.
12. The ultrasonic water meter has an error counting (instantaneous excessive flow metering)
judgment mechanism. When an error counting occurs, it can give an alarm in time and record the
error time. When an error counting occurs, the MCU software in the meter has an error correction
mechanism, which can prevent the occurrence of an error counting to the greatest extent.
13. Ultrasonic water meter has the function of measuring fluid water temperature, and can
give low temperature or high temperature alarm, so that the management department can deal with
it in time.
14. The combination of ultrasonic water meter and management system can have a family
water care mechanism. When the family children are not with the elderly, the children or the
community where the elderly are located can know the water habits of the elderly through mobile
phone APP, which can give early warning in time.
15. The valve-controlled ultrasonic water meter has a valve control function. The control of
valve opening and closing can be executed by issuing corresponding commands through wireless
communication. In addition, corresponding valve opening and closing conditions can also be set in
the water meter to execute corresponding valve actions.

七、Installation Requirements
1. Do not place meters with wireless communication in a closed environment, which will affect

the signal quality;

2. The installation site shall prevent insolation and freezing, avoid pollution and flooding,

facilitate disassembly and reading, and take antifreeze measures in winter.

3. Attention should be paid to the protection of hoses and wires during construction. It is strictly

prohibited to pull hoses to carry water meters, so as not to fall off hoses or break wire sheaths.

4, the newly installed pipeline should first remove debris in the pipeline, in order to prevent the

water meter from being blocked. Pay attention to the connection length of the water meter when

-9-
installing the water meter. When the distance between the pipelines at both ends exceeds the

connection length of the water meter, is too short, or is not on the same axis, the distance between

the pipelines should be corrected otherwise the water meter fittings will be damaged or cannot be

installed.

5. If the cold water meter is installed at the inlet end of the boiler, it is necessary to prevent the

boiler hot water and steam from returning and scalding the water meter.

6, long-term use of water meters, due to debris, rust and other blockage in the pipeline, causing

error changes, users are not allowed to destroy the lead seal, can go to the water meter verification

station maintenance.

7. Specifications selected according to pipeline flow. It is advisable that the frequently used flow

rate is close to or less than the commonly used flow rate, and the diameter of the water meter

cannot be determined by the diameter of the pipeline.

8. The upper part of the water meter, i.e. the pipeline system, shall use the least number of elbows

and valves. The water meter shall always be filled with water, and the flow rate shall not be less

than 0.005 MPa when it is zero. Air shall be prevented from entering the pipeline. If air may enter

the water meter, a vent valve shall be installed upstream of the water meter to ensure the

measurement accuracy of the water meter
