Elster c700 water meter upgrade#
The bottom loaded meter design simplifies register replacement, reducing utilities’ costs to upgrade to AMI/AMR technologies. The city of Calgary installs a type of water meter in residential homes. The new C700 water meters are ultra lightweight almost half the weight of a bronze meter, and offer no leaded material in contact with water. Upgradeable to automated meter reading (AMR) and advanced metering infrastructure (AMI), C700 polymer meters are compatible with digital pulse output or Elster AMCO Water InVISION™ absolute encoders, allowing for remote electronic readings at lower costs and increased accuracy compared to visual reading. The metal thread inserts also provide simple and reliable connectivity by reducing the risk of stripped or crossed threads, which can be associated with plastic threading. The C700 polymer meters also feature a spectrum of reading technologies that allow utilities the flexibility to match their needs. “Elster’s latest innovation integrates metal threads into the body of our C700 polymer meters and offers utilities the kind of accurate, reliable, cost saving solution they have come to expect from us,” said Thomas Gwynn, president of Elster AMCO Water. In addition, the polymer body deters theft of valuable bronze alloy. The new C700 water meters are ultra lightweight – almost half the weight of a bronze meter, and offer no leaded material in contact with water.
The metal thread inserts also provide simple and reliable connectivity by reducing the risk of stripped or crossed threads, which can be associated with plastic threading. Molded into the polymer, the bronze threads eliminate the need for welding and secondary manufacturing operations, providing a single piece meter body with a reliable and durable design. (METERING.COM) - J– Enhanced versions of the C700 polymer meters, combining the benefits of advanced engineering polymer materials and molding technologies with the proven measurement technology of the bronze C700 family of water meters, have been introduced by Elster.
