The photoelectric direct reading smart water meter integrates advanced photoelectric sensing and data communication technologies to enable accurate measurement, remote data collection, and intelligent water management. Combining reliable mechanical metering with digital connectivity, it provides an efficient solution for communities, apartments, commercial buildings and industrial parks, supporting the digital transformation of modern water management.



Utilizes high-precision photoelectric direct-reading technology to capture the original mechanical dial readings in real time. Data is synchronized without deviation, eliminating cumulative measurement errors. The metering results are stable and reliable, ensuring clear and accurate traceability.
The meter operates in a “zero power” passive mode, requiring no energy during daily operation. Power is only momentarily drawn during meter reading, eliminating the need for internal batteries and completely removing maintenance concerns associated with battery replacement.
Equipped with an M-Bus standard communication interface, fully compatible with mainstream industry protocols EN1434-3 and Modbus RTU. The wide protocol compatibility allows smooth system integration. Leveraging a mature communication architecture, it supports AMR remote automatic meter reading, providing stable and efficient data transmission for rapid batch collection and upload of water usage data.
Supports multiple wired and wireless communication modes, allowing scheduled automatic collection and upload of water usage data, synchronized with real-time device status. Remote valve control enables precise water supply management anytime, anywhere. The device can automatically report core parameters, including remaining battery, valve status, operational conditions, and network signal strength. Intelligent anomaly detection triggers alerts immediately in case of abnormal flow or device faults, quickly identifying potential issues, reducing manual inspection, simplifying maintenance, and achieving centralized, intelligent, and highly efficient water meter operation management.

Contact UsThe direct reading remote water meter is an intelligent metering device that integrates photoelectric sensing and remote communication technologies. It directly reads the digital information on the mechanical meter dial to achieve high-accuracy water consumption data collection and remote data transmission.
Yes. The device can automatically collect water meter data through communication modules and upload the data to a smart water management platform, enabling remote meter reading, data analysis and centralized management.
Yes. Newcapec provides OEM/ODM customization services for photoelectric direct reading water meters, including communication module configuration, hardware design, software platform integration, and functional development based on customer requirements.
No. This smart water meter uses optical recognition technology to capture meter dial readings and does not rely on magnetic sensors, effectively avoiding measurement errors caused by external magnetic interference.
Depending on project requirements, the system supports various management modes, such as prepaid, postpaid, tiered pricing and categorized billing.
