The Next GenerationCommercial Water Flow MeterAquaMaster™, available in sizes 15 to 600 mm (1/2 in. to 24 in.),is the total solution for flow measurement in the water industry.Outstanding performance, innovative features and user benefits,coupled with low cost of ownership ensures that AquaMaster™is the first choice for District Metering, Bulk Revenue, TrunkMains and Treatment Works applications.
AquaMaster™ has been designed specifically for the waterindustry in response to its stringent demands for enhancedmetering capability; enabling ever more efficient and costeffective operation and compliance with increasing legislativerequirements.
Based on ABB proven technology, AquaMaster™ is supportedby the expertise of ABB – the world’s leading flowmetermanufacturer with many pioneering advances in water flowmetering over the last decade e.g. AquaMag™, MagMaster™,AquaProbe™, CalMaster™ etc. ABB operates national andinternationally accredited flow calibration facilities in the UK,USA, Germany, Australia and India. We also offercomprehensive, locally-based before- and after-sales supportand service.
In addition to high measurement performance the AquaMasteroffers reading of totalizers via the industry standard inductivepad reader or via radio link automatic meter reading system. Thisfeature allows easy access to billing information without theneed to physically read the meter display.
No External Power Requiredfor Remote Locations No external power supply (2 internal batteries)
3-year battery life
Site-replaceable batteries
Unique battery management system gives a batteryreplacement window in excess of 1 year, with no flat-battery interruption to measurement.
AquaMaster™ is the ideal solution for locations where there is noexternal power. Two user-replaceable internal batteries provide a3-year battery life, thus eliminating the high cost of providing amains supply to the meter.
AquaMaster’s extended battery life is achieved through newtechnology design.
AC-powered units have optional battery backup to ensure noloss of flow measurement during power down periods.
Typical Applications Bulk revenue
District metering
Trunk mains
Treatment works

New Performance Standards forFlow MeasurementWidest flow range, optimum accuracy and long term stablecalibration mean that AquaMaster™ sets new performancestandards in the water industry.
The performance specification for an 80mm (3 in.) AC-poweredunit (Figs. 1 and 2) demonstrates how AquaMaster™significantly betters the ISO 4064 Class B and Class C standardsfor both accuracy and max min flow rates (Qmax. and Qmin.).
This unique low flow rate capability enables previouslyunrecordable minimal night flow rates to be metered; particularlyimportant for bulk revenue and district metering applications.
The clear bore of the AquaMaster™ eliminates the possibility ofdamage by particulate matter and the absence of moving andwearing components ensures that this unique level ofperformance is maintained long term.
The unique design of the AquaMaster sensor conditions the flowprofile in the measuring section so that distortions in the flowprofile, either upstream or downstream, are flattened, resulting inexcellent in situ meter performance, even with very bad hydraulicinstallation conditions. Tests have shown that with a gate valvebolted directly on the upstream flange of the meter, performanceis still within ISO4064 Class C, even with the gate virtually shut.

Transmitter Comprehensive display
Submersible for use in flooded chambers rated IP68(NEMA6)
Resetable or secure totals
8mm high displays for Totals(exceeds ISO4064 requirement)
Tamper resistant
3 outputs (forward and reverse pulse, or pulses,direction and alarm)
The AquaMaster™ Transmitter provides the mostcomprehensive range of flow data and information currentlyavailable to the water industry. If all the data is not required, theunit can be configured so that only the required values aredisplayed, thus ensuring simple reading with no superfluousdata. Likewise, the display is available for top or side viewing,depending on the location of the meter, for easy reading in alllocations.
Standard Tariff SettingAquaMaster incorporates a multiple tariff feature where theaccumulated flow volume is routed to one of two 8-digit signedtariffs; tariff A and tariff B, depending on time and date. It is fullyprogrammable by the user for time of day, day of week or dateduring the year. These user-defined times/dates can becombined in a variety of modes as illustrated in the tables belowto produce the following tariff regimes.

Easy, Low Cost InstallationNo matter what the location or installation requirements,AquaMaster™ provides a cost-effective solution.
Both the sensor and the Transmitter are fully submersible,enabling installation in flooded chambers.
In addition, the sensor is buriable, thus eliminating the need for achamber. Installation merely involves excavating to the pipeline,fitting the sensor and back filling the hole, to ensure very fast, lowcost installation. The associated Transmitter is then located inthe most convenient position for the user.
The elimination of bypasses and ancillary items such asstrainers, enables the installation cost to be kept to an absoluteminimum.
These factors, together with the innovative 'Fit and Flow™'system, ensure foolproof installation with total user confidence.
'Fit and Flow™' No need to match sensor and Transmitter
