Why the E-CODER®? A true absolute encoder, the E-CODER® is the foundation of a smart water meter. In addition to all the features of a basic encoder register, when the E-CODER is connected to an R900® or R450™ RF MIU, it provides value-added PLUS features – leak, tamper, and reverse flow detection.Utility software applications can use E-CoderPLUS information in billing, customer service, and operational reports. Providing 8-digit readings (absolute 9-digit meter readings on its display) and resolution down to 1/10th of a gallon, the E-CODER’s accuracy and reliability form a solid foundation on which to build and expand an AMR or AMI system. The E-CODER is available in two different configurations for specific applications – inside set and pit set.
