The NB-IoT water meter has a built-in NB-IoT communication module, which collects water consumption data, communicates with base stations via NB-IoT technology to upload data, receives instructions from the server, performs parameter configuration, and controls valve operations. It is powered by a lithium battery and features low-power design.

Functional characteristics are as follows:

1. Utilizes low-power microprocessors and NB-IoT technology, powered by lithium batteries

2. Supports multiple signal inputs such as reed switches, magnetic sensors, and Wiegand sensors

3. Monitors battery voltage in real time with low battery alarm

4. Multiple upload modes to meet different user needs

5. Embedded tiered water pricing, configurable via the system

6. No need for collectors; the meter automatically connects to the network without manual intervention, facilitating installation and construction

7. Stronger signal coverage, suitable for use in basements, underground pipes, and other locations

8. Collects flow pulses inside the water meter in real time and calculates flow rate

9. The upper computer can remotely control the valve opening and closing, and can periodically switch the valve to prevent rusting

With the rapid development of IoT water meters, they can now easily integrate with smart water management systems. Using management systems, real-time monitoring, meter reading, and transmission of urban water usage data can be achieved, enabling big data IoT. Additionally, the integration of NB-IoT water meters with smart water management systems provides mobile control convenience. Users or management staff can directly download relevant apps to perform real-time online monitoring, payment, valve control, and other tasks on mobile devices, making water usage more convenient. Compared to traditional technical methods, smart IoT water management systems offer numerous advantages, eliminating the need for manual metering and management services, enabling automation, real-time monitoring, and management without human intervention.
