ModMAG^® M5000 Electromagnetic Flow Meter

Rural Focus working with Oxford University on this project along the Burguret River in Nanyuki, Kenya, chose our distributor to supply remote smart metering products. The project will demonstrate the use of this technology in Kenya, allow accurate water abstraction figures to be taken, help to develop equitable billing systems for water use in local projects and improve water resource management within the catchment.

This project was supplied with seven smart GSM-enabled electromagnetic flow meters of DN 150 and DN 200. The battery powered ModMAG^® M5000 was chosen for its long service life and the SMS logger for its capability to provide daily or hourly meter readings. The meters have no moving parts and therefore are ideal for metering raw river water and remote installation locations can now be accessed and configured via Text: SMS by approved personnel without having to actually visit the sites.
