Telemetry capability allows a user’s flow meter to send the flow rate and totalizer information to the user, preventing the need to visit the flow meter to record data and manage water usage. McCrometer customers have had the ability to implement telemetry for their propeller meters by means of FlowConnect, the telemetry-on-board unit, and for mag meters through an RTU (radio transmission unit). Whereas FlowConnect is a carefully developed product launched in 2017 for the McPropeller and Water Specialties propeller lines, FlowConnect isn’t compatible with mag meter products. As the FlowConnect solution for propeller telemetry grew in popularity, so did the interest in a mag meter telemetry solution. In response, McCrometer partnered with sister company OTT HydroMet, another Danaher company, to offer a streamlined telemetry option that makes ordering easy, simplifies installation, and reduces the cost of ownership compared to previous offerings.

Aimee Davis, Product Manager explains:

“As the demand for mag meters with telemetry increased, we saw a need to simplify our offering and reduce overall cost to make it a viable solution for our customers. OTT HydroMet’s newly released A760 RTU was the catalyst that enabled us to do that. Now, our mag customers can streamline their operations with our telemetry bundle and get the data they need in a convenient, efficient manner.”
