Residential meter reading
Remote collection from pulse-output meters without fixed infrastructure.
NB-IoT / LTE-M water-meter gateway
IPS-530
Water Meter Gateway
A battery-powered IP68 gateway that transfers data from pulse-output water meters over NB-IoT or LTE-M
Pulse input10–15 yearsIP68
Product role
Consumption and health data from the water meter to the head-end
IPS-530 counts water-meter pulses, logs consumption and events locally, then communicates over the mobile network on schedule or when an alert occurs

Head-end systemConsumption data, logs and alerts
Typical applications
Water-meter data directly to the central system
Pulse-based consumption metering is combined with mobile connectivity, local logs and health monitoring
Utility consumption monitoring
Hourly integration and daily reporting by default.
Leakage alerting
Configurable leakage alerts derived from consumption patterns.
Tamper and health monitoring
Report magnetic interference, movement, opening and low battery.
Head-end integration
Scheduled and event-driven communications using ABL or DLMS/COSEM formats.
01 / 02
Key capabilities
Long operation with event-driven supervision
LPWAN connectivity is complemented by a replaceable battery, IP68 enclosure and configurable alerts
Pulse-based metering
Configurable pulse weight and consumption registers.
Direct LPWAN connectivity
NB-IoT and LTE-M with broad band support, including B31/B72 options.
Long battery life
10–15 years depending on reporting frequency, with replaceable battery.
IP68 enclosure
Standalone enclosure with internal or optional external antenna.
Alert logic
Leakage, blockage, Qmin/Qmax, tamper and device-health alerts.
Bidirectional data handling
PUSH logs and alerts plus response-based PULL settings.
