Apator IN-PULSE Universal Induction Module

Key Features and Applications

The IN-PULSE module is a battery-operated electronic device integrated into an Automatic Meter Reading (AMR) system. Its robust design, featuring a high IP68 protection class casing, ensures reliable operation in demanding environmental conditions, including high humidity. The module also includes an NFC interface compatible with ISO 15693 and ISO 18000-3 mode 1 for local communication and configuration.

The device is capable of detecting and recording various events such as backflow, low battery, magnetic field detection, device disconnection, and temperature extremes. It offers multiple pulse output modes for flexible data transmission.

Installation Guide

Detailed installation procedures are provided for different water meter types, including apartment meters (JS Smart+, JS Smart C+, JS Smart D+) and house/industrial meters (JS Master+, JS Master C+, JS Master D+, MWN, MK, MH). The installation process involves securing an intermediate ring (for IP65) or directly mounting onto the counter guard (for IP68) and then attaching the pulse module.

Key installation steps include:

• Preparing the water meter by removing any safety covers and cleaning the relevant surfaces.
• Correctly positioning and fixing the intermediate ring and locking ring (if applicable) onto the water meter's counter guard.
• Aligning and attaching the IN-PULSE module to the secured ring or guard, ensuring proper latching.
• Verifying the secure mounting of all components.

Specific instructions and visual aids are included for each water meter series and IP rating.

Operation and Configuration

The IN-PULSE module can be configured using a dedicated application via its NFC interface. This allows for setting event detection parameters, adjusting pulse weights, configuring pulse outputs, and accessing historical data. The module also features a real-time clock (RTC) that may require periodic updates.

For optimal performance, it is recommended to configure the module after installation and ensure it operates within the specified technical parameters and environmental conditions.

Technical Specifications

The IN-PULSE module operates on a 3.6V lithium battery with an estimated life of 12 years. It functions within a temperature range of -15°C to 60°C and offers two NPN OD pulse outputs. The device has a degree of protection of IP68 and dimensions of 130 x 73 x 42.7 mm.
