Understand the benefits of M-Bus meters over Pulse for your water and thermal metering projects
Choosing M-Bus meters early in the design phase for your multi-residential, institutional or commercial metering projects can save headaches (and risk) down the road.
Create greater value and less work:
M-Bus delivers savings: 90% reduction in commissioning time and a 75% cost saving in wire, conduit and installation. Be confident in your system with error and alarm features on all meters.
Pulse meters are labour intensive to install; needing more time required for commissioning and a requirement for labelling of wires resulting in a 75% cost increase in wire, conduit and installation labour. With no alarm features, pulse meters deliver less value and carry more risk.
