Irrigation-AMR

• As well water is discharged from the pump, it flows through the irrigation pipe and the Flow Meter . This water flow causes the Meter’s propeller to rotate. • Two magnets, part of the flow rate display on the Meter ’s register, move when the drive shaft is spun by the propeller’s rotation. • The movement of the magnets is detected by the Sensor Ring installed on the meter by EAA staff, and is converted into an on/off electrical pulse per revolution. • The pulse is transmitted by the Sensor Ring through Buried Cable to the Programmable Logic Controller (PLC) located in the (PLC) located in the Equipment Enclosure on the pole . • The PLC applies a value in gallons to each pulse, based on the meter type and size. This value is totalized over time by the PLC which provides volume in AF that matches the Meter register. • The volume calculated by the PLC is then stored along with other data in internal memory until it is collected. The data collected includes: • Time and Date • Volume in AF • Hourly Volume in AF • Flow Rate in GPM

• System Voltage • Diagnostic Data
