CPA 01 Cordonel Pulse Adaptor

Sensus Cordonel Pulse Adaptor CPA 01 is an electronic pulse output device for Cordonel water meters that converts meter volume information into standardized pulses for data collection and monitoring systems. It installs easily without breaking the verification seal, maintaining meter integrity.

Communication between the meter and the CPA-01 uses an IrDA interface, and the module is galvanically isolated from the meter. The adapter supports programmable pulse values and lengths, delivering high-resolution volume-proportional pulses suitable for building management systems, industrial control, data logging, and remote telemetry. Sensus CPA-01 is designed for long-term operation with minimal maintenance and robust environmental protection.
