The Tomahawk ™ Encoder register is a high resolution solid-state electronic encoder that uses magnetic sensors to detect changes in the magnetic field of the wetted meter magnet. It can deliver an industry standard absolute encoded or scalable pulse output. The Tomahawk ™ Encoder provides reads with a resolution of 1/100th of a gallon (or other UOM) and uses that granularity to indicate potential leaks with extraordinary precision. The LCD displays current flow rate, battery status, leak, backflow, and trouble indicators along with a 10-digit meter reading.
The Tomahawk Encoder is field programable and has the ability to retrofit most mechanical water meters of any manufacturer. It can be used to collect and send meter data to RG3 endpoints and most other manufacturer’s AMR and AMI endpoints.
