Product Overview

The IoT Pulse Totaliser is a lightweight, battery-powered device designed to count pulses from mechanical and electronic meters without complex modifications. Whether monitoring water consumption, electricity usage, gas flow, or production output, the Pulse Totaliser accurately captures and transmits counting data via LoRaWAN networks.

Featuring dual pulse input channels with configurable multipliers, the device adapts to various meter types and measurement requirements. The ultra-low power architecture enables battery operation exceeding 5 years in typical deployment scenarios, while built-in data buffering ensures no data loss during network interruptions or maintenance windows.

Key Features

⚙️

🔒

IP65 Enclosure

Sealed IP65-rated housing protects against dust and moisture. Compact form factor suitable for meter cabinets and outdoor installations.

How It Works

Pulse Detection: The Totaliser detects pulse signals from meter reed switches or dry contacts. Configurable debounce intervals filter false signals while maintaining accuracy.

Data Processing: The embedded microcontroller counts incoming pulses, applies user-configured multipliers, and stores measurements in local flash memory with timestamp precision.

Wireless Transmission: Counted data is encrypted and transmitted via LoRaWAN to your network gateway. Adaptive spreading factors optimize battery life while maintaining reliability.

Cloud Analytics: Data is received by the Controlytics cloud platform for processing, visualization, and integration into your business intelligence systems.
