Advanced metering infrastructure

Advanced water metering

Eaton’s RFW-201 smart water node is a next-generation, two-way advanced metering infrastructure (AMI) endpoint that wirelessly interfaces with Eaton’s RF Mesh network and Brightlayer Utilities smart grid software platform. Compatible with a wide range of manufacturers’ water meters and high-accuracy ultrasonic meters, the node enables utilities to remotely collect usage and interval data (at remotely configurable intervals) for more accurate and punctual billing and collections. 

Field-replaceable, 20-year battery
Reduced total cost of ownership
Wall-, surface-, pipe- and pit-mountable options
Deployment flexibility
Compatible with a wide range of registers and encoders
Consistent functionality

Core features

  • Remotely configurable reads, reports and alarms
  • Field-replaceable battery designed for 20-year life
  • Loss identification/reduction, tamper/theft identification
  • Leak detection identification
  • IP68-rated enclosure
  • Optional waterproof connectors (Itron and Nicor) and lid-lock kit
  • Device storage of hourly interval data for up to 6 months
  • Water conservation/watering restrictions

Flexible, robust solution

Supporting pulse registers and digital encoders from multiple manufacturers, the smart water node communicates via any powered device on the Eaton RF network, providing remotely configurable reads, reports and alarms. Storing interval data for up to six months, the solution enhances billing read accuracy and punctuality, while enabling faster identification and resolution of leak detection and other maintenance issues for improved customer service.

Meter-manufacturer independent solution

Supports water meters and registers from vendors such as Badger Meter, Sensus, Neptune, Master Meter, Honeywell/Elster, Mueller Hersey, Itron, Metron-Farnier, Kamstrup, and Zenner, including high-resolution solutions.

Save time and money with Eaton's innovative AMI and DR solutions

Eaton offers a flexible platform that allows utilities to evolve with changing technology, while maintaining control of capital spending and budgets. Our solution is forward and backward compatible, giving you the capacity for future expansion. Implementing our innovative AMI metering and Demand Response solutions does not require across-the-board equipment replacement and configuration, saving you time and money.

Details

AUTOMATIC PROTOCOL DETECTION

Node auto-identifies the water meter and register type it is connected to, without requiring user configuration

Meter model information is returned to the Yukon software via the RF network

ADVANCED ANALYTICS AND LEAK DETECTION

Supports meter-based leak detection alarms and diagnostic information as well as software-definable analytics to automatically determine the size of water leaks, enabling quick detection and effective customer service to assist in identification of the source of the leak

Built-in software tools to identify high, low and abnormal usage can be used by utilities to identify issues on vacant properties
