Product Overview

Ultrasonic digital water meter, 150mm SST body, battery powered, no moving parts, high accuracy, long-life performance

The ARAD Octave Ultrasonic SST 150mm Water Meter is a high-capacity digital flow meter designed for precise and reliable water measurement in municipal, industrial, and agricultural systems. Utilizing advanced ultrasonic transit-time technology, it delivers highly accurate readings with no moving parts, eliminating mechanical wear and ensuring long-term operational reliability.

Engineered for superior hydraulic performance, the meter offers excellent sensitivity at low flow rates while maintaining accuracy across a wide operating range. Its stainless steel (SST) construction provides enhanced durability and resistance, making it suitable for demanding environments and aggressive water conditions.

Powered by an internal lithium battery with up to 15 years of lifespan, the meter operates independently without external power. The integrated digital display provides clear readings of flow rate, total volume, and system diagnostics, with programmable units and flexible display configurations.

Designed for advanced water management systems, the Octave meter supports bi-directional measurement, built-in data logging, and multiple communication outputs including pulse, analog (4–20 mA), Modbus, and M-Bus. The IP68-rated enclosure ensures full protection against water and dust ingress, making it ideal for underground and submerged installations.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the ARAD Octave used for?

The ARAD Octave is an ultrasonic bulk water meter designed for utilities, waterworks, industrial and agricultural applications. It is suitable for accurate water metering across irrigation, commercial, industrial and water network systems.

How does the ARAD Octave measure water flow?

The Octave uses dual beam ultrasonic technology to measure flow. It compares ultrasonic signal transit times with and against the water flow, then calculates the flow rate based on the velocity of the water through the meter body.

Does the Octave have moving parts?

No. The ARAD Octave has no moving parts, which helps improve long-term reliability, reduce wear and maintain accuracy over time.

What is the maximum working pressure?

The maximum working pressure is 16 bar.

What liquid temperature range can the Octave handle?

The ARAD Octave is suitable for liquid temperatures from 0.1°C up to 50°C.

What is the battery life?

The Octave is powered by 2 × D size lithium batteries and has a battery life of up to 15 years.

Is the Octave suitable for outdoor or meter pit installations?

Yes. The Octave has IP68 environmental protection, making it suitable for outdoor installations, pits and vaults where moisture or submersion may be present.

Can the Octave measure reverse flow?

Yes. The Octave is bi-directional and can display or output forward flow, reverse flow, net volume, or alternating forward and reverse volume, depending on the selected configuration.

What output options are available?

The Octave is available with several output options including 4–20mA analog output, digital pulse output, dry contact output, SSR pulse output, encoder output, Modbus and M-Bus.

Is the Octave suitable for irrigation?

Yes. The Octave is well suited to agricultural applications because it provides high accuracy, low head loss, electronic information options and a range of electrical outputs.

Is the Octave suitable for industrial use?

Yes. The stainless steel Octave is designed for challenging environments such as production plants, mining and industrial processes, including applications involving aggressive water.

What information is shown on the digital display?

The LCD display can show flow direction, communication mode, accumulator mode, low battery alert, flow rate units, volume units, system errors, output mode, pulse resolution and water temperature.

Does the Octave have data logging?

Yes. The Octave includes a data logger for volume and alarm data, with 48KB storage and 4130 data points.

What standards does the Octave comply with?

The Octave complies with MID 2014/32/EU, based on OIML R49:2013, EN 14154 and ISO 4064:2014. It also lists AWWA, WRAS, NSF, ACS, KTW and W-270 approvals or standards.

How should the Octave be installed?

The meter must remain full of water at all times during operation. For full installation details, the installation manual should be followed.
