Pulse meter PULSE ATEX

electronicLoRaWANIP67

Overview This IoT solution combines a PULSE ATEX sensor and a pre-wired Binder connector to read gas meter pulse outputs for remote monitoring and energy management. It is designed for use in ATEX environments and for easy field installation with available LoRaWAN EU863-870 radio coverage.

Highlights

• Pre-wired to a Binder connector for direct meter connection
• Battery-powered with periodic or alert-driven transmissions
• Detection of fraud and gas leaks
• Flow monitoring (min/max)
• Configurable locally and remotely (LoRaWAN)
• Data logging and redundancy for service continuity
• Timestamping and network test at startup
• Available versions: PULSE ATEX; version with Gazpar connector

ATEX zones

• Gas & vapour:
  • Zone 1: immediate proximity to the sensitive area
  • Group IIC: hydrogen, acetylene and similar gases
• Dust:
  • Zone 21: immediate proximity to the sensitive area

Sensor functions

• Monitor: periodic index transmission of gas meter readings and continuous flow monitoring (min/max)
• Alert: trigger alarms (AND/OR) when flow thresholds are exceeded or a leak is detected
• Configurable reporting and alert parameters to match metering policies

Available gas-meter-ready versions

• PULSE ATEX (LoRaWAN EU863-870 available)
• Version with Gazpar connector
