Dry Contact Pulse Counter

How to configure Aranet Dry Contact Pulse Counter for water consumption monitoring?

Aranet Dry Contact Pulse Counter is a device designed for pulse output monitoring, perfect for electricity, gas meters, or water flow monitoring.

Use scenarios are explained in another topic: Use Case Scenarios

In this example, we will examine water consumption monitoring. First, we should get a water meter and a reed switch that can convert the information for the Aranet pulse counter, or simply get a water meter that already allows it to connect to the Aranet pulse counter. For example:

Once the water meter is connected to the Aranet Dry Contact Pulse Counter, correct adjustments for conversion should be made from the Aranet base station web interface.

We should choose the dimension- volume in this case, unit- could pick any of the offered, but in this example will choose liters, and finally corresponding unit count per pulse.

In this example, we can see that one pulse will be counted for every 10 liters that the water meter measures. This can also be displayed in a chart:

In this chart we can see already converted pulses to chosen units (liters) per time period. This allows us to get visual interpretation of when water consumption would be bigger in specific time period.
