Water FIREFLY Automatic Meter Reader
 
 

FIREFLY for water meters
TheFIREFLY for water meters represents a breakthought in AMR technology. It is the first solution to deliver a universally compatible interfacing strategy teamed with integrated ProfilePLUS™ Usage
Profiling in an economical package.

Universal Compatibility
FIREFLY Meter Interface Units (MIUs) install in under five minutes on virtually any meter. The unique optic sensor automates meters without electronic output registers. The FIREFLY Optic Sensor Model is the first technology for automating meters without electronic registers. Wired-end Model FIREFLY's support all the popular pulse and encoder registers. FIREFLY eliminates the need for meter changeout for the purpose of AMR implementation and can save utilities millions of dollars in meters and installation labor.

Install FIREFLY on your existing meters!

Maintain the freedom to choose meters without the unforgiving constraints of a proprietary AMR system.

  • Designed to withstand constant submersion
  • Optic sensor or wired interfaces. Click here for a list of compatible registers.
  • Accommodates straight/direct-read, pulse and encoded registers
  • Leak Detection
  • Tamper Detection
  • Battery Status Indicator
  • Above ground, below ground or through-the-lid installation

ProfilePLUS Usage Profiling
All FIREFLY MIUs archive consumption data at user-definable intervals. For example, when set to record at 60 minute intervals, each water FIREFLY MIU holds more than 74 days of hourly usage! ProfilePLUS graphs are an invaluable tool for settling usage disputes, monitoring/enforcing conservation compliance, meter right-sizing, leak detection, virtual turn offs and much more.

FIREFLY Logical Switch™
TheFIREFLY Logical Switch (FFLS) represents another step forward for the innovative FIREFLY AMR technology. The FFLS combines the unshakeable accuracy of an absolute encoder register with the low cost of a pulse register. It provides an instant interface to Master Meter "high glass" and similar registers on any size meter; adding yet another option to FIREFLY's universally compatible approach to Automatic Meter Reading.

The FFLS works by sensing the magnet embedded in the register's sweep needle. Each revolution sends a signal that increments the FIREFLY. Installation takes only seconds using a standard screwdriver. Logical Switches can be ordered pre-potted to FIREFLY MIUs making implementation even simpler.

  • Encoder performance without the cost
  • Interfaces to Master Meter "high glass" and similar registers - all meter sizes
  • Connects directly to FIREFLY Water MIU in less than 1 minute
  • Can be ordered pre-potted to FIREFLY Water MIU
  • No power required
