Meter+TM Technology
Meter+TM Technology has been developed to allow a Transceiver model to connect to virtually all modern submeter outputs. These include a variety of different pulse-out meters as well as encoded output meters. Meter+TM Encoder technology supports Sensus, Neptune, Amco, Elster, and GWF 3-wire protocols. Simply wire the meter and Transceiver with the proper configuration, and it will automatically detect which protocol to use. The Meter+TM Smart Pulse detection allows the Tranceiver to detect, correct, and report faulty (ghosting) reed switches.
