Radio communication module for residential water meters
Sensus CompactRF Radio Module is a clip-on radio communication module designed to retrofit Sensus residential water meters prepared for HRI pick-up systems. It enables mechanical meters to be integrated into SensusRF and Wireless MBus fixed radio networks, supporting remote meter reading without replacing existing assets.
CompactRF modules transmit meter data automatically at regular intervals or on demand and can report alarm conditions such as leakage or backflow. Designed for long-term operation, the module combines robust environmental protection with long battery life, making it suitable for residential metering deployments.
