E-Series G2® Ultrasonic Meters

Lead-Free Bronze Alloy, 5/8 x 3/4 inch

DESCRIPTION
The next generation E-Series G2® Ultrasonic meter uses solid-state
technology in a compact, tamper protected, weatherproof and |
UV-resistant housing, suitable for residential applications.
Electronic metering provides information—such as rate of flow
and status and alarm indication—and data not typically available
through traditional, mechanical meters and registers. Electronic
metering minimizes measurement errors due to sand, suspended
particles and pressure fluctuations.

Ultrasonic Meter Features

• Open flow tube design prevents obstruction of flow, and
provides greater turn-down ratio for extended flow ranges and
increased revenue
• No moving parts for increased performance and
maximized revenue
When connected to ORION Cellular LTE-M or LTE endpoints, both

CONSTRUCTION
The E-Series Ultrasonic meter features lead-free bronze alloy meter housing, ultrasonic transducers, a meter-control circuit board with
associated wiring, LCD, and battery. Wetted elements are limited to the pressure vessel and transducers. The electronic components are
housed and fully potted within a molded, engineered polymer enclosure, which is attached to the meter housing. The transducers extend
through the housing and are sealed by O-rings, enabling turbulence-free water flow through the tube. The open flow tube design prevents
obstruction of flow to reduce pressure loss and provide long-term accuracy.

METER INSTALLATION
For long-term performance the meter is weatherproof, UV-resistant, fully submersible and can be installed using horizontal or vertical
piping. The registration electronics and battery are encapsulated to withstand harsh environments and protect the electronics in flooded or
submerged pit applications. The meter will not measure flow when an “empty pipe“ condition is experienced.
NOTE: An empty pipe is defined as a condition that occurs when the flow sensors are not fully submerged.
The meter is available with an in-line connector for easy installation and connection to ORION endpoints. It is also available with a flying
lead for field splice connection.
