Krohne WATERFLUX 3070 battery-powered water meter

As water meters are often installed in remote locations, reducing the frequency of visits to the sites and the time spent on set-up and maintenance is crucial. This relies on aspects such as a simplified installation, integrated diagnostics, a long battery lifetime, remote communication options and low overall maintenance requirements.

The polycarbonate converter housing of the Krohne WATERFLUX 3070 features IP68 waterproof plug-and-play connectors that do not require wiring on-site and a small installation footprint to fit into electrical cabinets.

For locations where mains power is available, the product is now available with an external FlexPower unit to connect the meter to a 110–230 VAC or 10–30 VDC power source. The FlexPower module also has an internal battery that serves as a battery backup.

Integrated pressure and temperature sensors make the WATERFLUX an all-in-one water meter for drinking water network applications, eliminating the installation and wiring of separate flow, pressure and temperature sensors. Pressure and temperature values are available via the display or via Modbus. Alarms can be generated via the status output or via Modbus. The integrated pressure and temperature sensor is available for diameters DN50-200.

The Modbus RTU output can be provided via a low (battery) power and a high (mains) power version. The low-power Modbus version can be used for data communication with a data logger GPRS module. When operated via the mains power, the high-featured Modbus option can be used for data transfer to automation and process control systems.
