Smart Utility Meters Use Reed Sensors To Measure Water Flow, Gas and Electricity

Features

• Magnet and reed sensor are isolated and have no physical contact by typically having the magnet mounted to a mini paddle wheel, and the reed sensor is mounted strategically such that the magnetic field of the permanent magnet will be sensed with each rotation of the paddle wheel.
• The reed switch used in the reed sensor is hermetically sealed and is therefore not sensitive to wet, watery environment
• The permanent magnet is not affected by its environment
• Tens of millions of reliable operations
• Surface mounting and through hole mounting
• Contacts dynamically tested
