Compatible with multiple water meter manufacturers. Please contact a Byram AMI representative for further details.
AMI Solutions for Water Built with an open architecture, EnergyAxis® provides application integration across multiple utility systems, opening the path for seamless business information transactions. Installing EnergyAxis electricity meters/repeaters builds the infrastructure that allows water AMI metering to be added at an incremental cost, which can result in tremendous savings. Expanding the EnergyAxis network to cover water metering requires little more than the installation of a communication module onto the water meter. The EA_Water Module is compatible with many major brands of water meters, and it can connect to either digital (pulse) or encoded registers. The modules are designed for use in, remote (wall) mount applications, and support the unit of measure as provided by the water meter register, so that no on-site programming is required.
S o l u t i o n s f o r E l e c t r i c i t y, Wa t e r, a n d G a s EnergyAxis enables open access to AMI information from electric, gas, and water meters. The modules report data using the EnergyAxis mesh network, which in turn repeats the information to the local area EnergyAxis Data C o l l e c t o r / G a t e k e e p e r. T h e D a t a Collector/Gatekeeper aggregates t h e e l e c t r i c i t y, w a t e r, a n d / o r g a s meter data and reports it through scheduled or on-request reads over the wide area network to EA_MS. EA_MS then serves as the intelligent gateway between the meter population and the various information processing systems and applications.

The Data You Need Periodically, the water module reports the usage reading, status, warning messages, and interval data of the meter. The water meter data is then directed through the mesh network to the local gatekeeper, where it is stored for retrieval by the EnergyAxis Management System (EA_MS). The water module data has multiple paths through the EnergyAxis mesh network. Giving this robust mesh networks communication performance, the greatest assurance that the meter readings will be received at the gatekeeper, and be available for retrieval by EA_MS and other customer systems connected through EA_MS. In addition, all water meter data is posted to your preferred third party billing provider, allowing the highest level of customer support and billing accuracy. All endpoint components of the EnergyAxis System (including water modules) are uniquely identified by a factory programmed ID. A second unique identifier is implemented across EnergyAxis to ensure the meters are all on the same mesh network. The water module is battery-powered. Under normal operating conditions, the module has an expected battery life of over 20 years. Specifications Byram EA_Water Module Communication Range Temperature Range Enclosure Material
