Power free prepaid smart Water Meter
P1--------------------------------------------------
This is the only prepaid water meter that don’t need any power supply. It has the international top patent technology, No.1 global market share.
Power-free prepaid/prepaid quantity smart water meter
1. Current situation
At present, the smart water meter in the market(IC card water meter, RF card water meter, prepaid water meter etc.) all use the built-in lithium battery, which is hard to maintain long battery life. And such battery-power water meter has disadvantages,such as short life, low reliability, low anti-interference, inconvenience of battery change, high maintain cost. So this product didn't succeed in market in recently two decade. Those mfg input high cost to service, trying to make up the fault in technology with maintenance, but in the end that will lead to negative influence on promotion of smart meter.
2. Power-free Smart water meter has fundamentally overcome the battery problems.
According to the analysis on the problems and defects of smart meter, it's easy to find out that reliability issue is focused on battery. Some mfg are trying to enlarge capacity of battery or exchange battery regularly, which can't solve the problem but lead to increase the cost and maintenance difficultly. In order to solve the problems basically, the solution to maintain long life by battery must be abandoned.
By international top patent technology, effective way of solving the problems of smart meter is exploring the mechanization of the smart meter. This power-free smart meter has the advantages both in smart meter and mechanical meter, such as anti-interference, no reading error and no battery change. Such merits will lead to great success in water meter industry.
2. Working principle and related performance index of power-free smart meter
Power-free smart meter is controlled by “control device”, which is a “Recharge device”. When the recharge device with battery inserted into the control device, quantity will be recharged and the valve will be opened in short time. Then remove the recharge device. The meter will be in mechanical state, and measurement is done through water flow and pressure. The prepaid quantity is reducing according to the usage, when the quantity reduced to 0, the valve closes.

Various recharge methods are available to this smart meter. User can take IC card or storage key to the bank or water company to prepay the quantity, then recharge the meter with carriers. Also they could get a 10 digit recharging code by message, voice call or Internet, input the code into the recharge device, which is very convenient.

Various ways for recharging water meter
1. Recharge the power-free prepaid water meter with and without a carrier.
Besides solving the problem of reliability and stability, power-free prepaid water meter also makes it convenient for the user to recharge the meter through the technology of Internet and communication. And the non-carrier way is strongly recommended.
a, data carrier such as IC card and memory keys need to be carried to bank or water company. It will be less convenient if the water runs out at the time those offices are closed.b, user could get a recharging code by message, voice call or Internet to accomplish the recharging, which is non-carrier style. That can be done at any time, extremely convenient.
2. Prepaid and booking quantity way
a. recharging method with a carrier is suitable for prepaid style. User can take the IC card or recharging key to bank or water company, when it's OK for them to do so .
b. recharging method without a carrier is suitable for booking quantity way. User gets a recharging code through message, voice call or internet, then input the code into meter to finish recharging. After getting the code, user could pay the bill by way and time they feel convenient with. They could book another quantity when needed.
3. Booking quantity way is substitute option for both prepaid meter and remote meter.
a. in the prepaid method, users should pay before using water, which makes it convenient for the water company, but inconvenient for the users, because user can not recharge when the water dept or bank is off work.
b. remote way could realize remote reading,which could solve the manual reading problem. By this way, user still have to go to the bank for recharging. And the wire remote way need cable set, wireless remote way need battery support and wireless tunnel, which maintenance cost is high.
c. the booking quantity way, user can book quantity according to their usage,in which realized self-reading. The reading period is confirmed, be paid before next booking. There is no need for water company to set cable and use wireless reading device. It is convenient for both user and water company.
Recharge device index
a. battery for recharge device: 4pcs of AA or AAA alkaline batteries, change the battery when the light flickers or the screen displays an L.
b. Using a mobile recharge device: insert a standard mobile recharge device (5V and 500mA) to power up the device. The light is flickering or there is a L on the screen declines the charger is not suitable.
when the charging is finished, the valve will open. and the max charging quantity is 999m3.
