CONFIDENCE YOU CAN MEASURE

Two new low-power meters get your prototype off to a great start.

You’ve been tasked with designing equipment for today’s new smart grid. And you’ve got your work cut out for you. Because utility customers want new functionality, and they want it yesterday.

That means you need a prototype to test, modify, and retest. But no one’s built that time into your schedule.

Fortunately, help is on the way. This pair of proven, tested reference designs will kickstart your process, with ultra-low power consumption and superior performance.

(MAXREFDES70#) measures liquid with ultrasound waves that never lose accuracy. Utilities love that; they know they won’t have to rip-and-replace as often. You get:

  • No moving parts at all
  • 20 full years of battery life
  • High precision
  • Compact size ideal for tight spaces
  • Wide range of flow rates

(MAXREFDES38#), when placed at strategic points in the grid, helps utility customers locate, isolate, and fix faults. And all this valuable grid health information is modestly powered, by either batteries or nearby fiber optic lines. You get:

  • High accuracy with ultra-low power
  • Compact size ideal for tight spaces
  • Device drivers and source code
  • Test data
  • Ability to accept either a 3VP-P single-ended signal or a 6VP-P differential signal
