AquaFlow

The AquaFlow is Inzalo Utility Systems’ next generation water management device, and its first IoT device that can communicate directly with the cloud, allowing for meter readings and loading of
prepaid water tokens.

By linking the AquaFlow to a pulse output water meter, water service providers can receive data directly to their back-end database systems via the cloud. This allows for Advance Metering Infrastructure (AMI) and modernises Automated Meter Reading (AMR) which is crucial for reporting purposes.

Configurable – Free basic, Flow Limitation, Prepaid, Emergency Water, Lifeline, Flat Rate Tariff, Prepayment
Data Storage – 360 days profile data, 365 day totals, 12 monthly totals, tamper logs, last 50 tokens
Compatible with a majority of meter types – Magnetic and digital probe versions
Communication Network – Sigfox, LoRa and RF
Communication Data – Meter reading, Tamper, Low Battery, Leak

Field Service Terminal

The Utility Systems Field Service Terminal (FST) is designed for the use with the Aquadata, WMD Bulk and Water Management Device (WMD) electronic water controllers. The package is pre-installed on a windows platform notebook together with other relevant Utility Systems software.

The software provides for the configuration and testing of the Utility Systems WMDs and the Aquadata AMR unit, as well as the analysis of data retrieved. The FST can be connected to the WMD by means of an infrared communication cable to a Mobile Data Collector (MDC). When connected to the MDC, communications from the MDC to the WMD is via a radio (RF) link.

Water Management Device

The Inzalo Utility Systems’ Water Management Device (WMD) is the original remote communicating electronic water control valve and Standard Transfer Specification (STS) Association approved device.

Can be used for :

Prepaid water metering
Allocaiton of finite or negotiated daily or monthly allowance
Flat rate billing
AMR
AMI

Features

Configurable daily opening time and duration
Laptop interrogation and testing in the field using the Inzalo Field Service Terminal
Optional AMR
Prepaid water option using STS tokens, when used in conjunction with the User Interface Unit (UIU)

Bulk Water Metering

Based on our highly successful Water Management Device (WMD), the Inzalo Utility Systems Bulk WMD provides a large bore water management and prepaid metering solution. The Bulk WMD is the solution for the management of bulk water supply for customers using larger bore meters, such as zonal meters in both suburban areas and housing estates, schools, offices, factories and state departments.

When connected to an approved pulse output meter and large latching valve, the Bulk WMD is able to perform a number of water management and metering functions, including those associated with prepaid metering and advanced metering infrastructure (AMI).

The Bulk WMD can be configured to:

Dispense a fixed daily quantity of water at full pressure.
Provide prepaid water, or a combination of prepayment and a fixed daily allocation
Dispense a free daily or monthly quantity of water
Provide automated meter readings via radio signal to a fixed or mobile data collector

when used in conjunction with an approved pulse output meter and latching valve.
