E-SeriesTM
Submersible cold water stainless steel ultrasonic meter

Features
• Four sizes and lay lengthes
• Completely submersible IP68
• Minimum extended low-flow rate lower than typical
positive displacement meters.
• Simplified one-piece electronic meter and register that
are integral to the meter body and virtually maintenance
free.
• Sealed, non-removable, tamper-protected meter and
register.
• Easy-to-read 9-digit LCD display – presents consumption,
rate of flow, reverse-flow indication, and alarms.
• Digital or industry standard encoder protocol.
• ANSI/NSF standard 61 certified, Annex G
• ANSI/AWWA standard C700
• Lead-free
