Counts pulses & sends real time alerts via SMS text or email
The Monnit Enterprise Pulse counter is ideal for typical commercial and enterprise environments. It can be connected to the pulse output of a system (water meter, power met, etc.) to count the number if actuations within a given time frame or aggregate pulses in an ongoing accumulation. The device is capable of counting passive (open/closed switch) and active (up to +15 VDC) pulses and can count the positive edge, negative edge or both edges of a pulse.
The counter includes 3 software configurable low pass filter settings (No filter, 40 Hz filter, or 4 Hz filter) and can filter pulses with pulse widths greater than those designated in the technical specifications. For example, if the 4Hz filter is set, the pulse counter will count a pulse if its width is longer than 250 ms, if its width is shorter than 250 ms it will be completely or partially filtered.
The sensor can be programmed to send an alert through the iMonnit Online Sensor Monitoring and Notification System when a given number of pulses have been reached within a set time frame. These alerts from the iMonnit system are sent in real time via SMS text or email.
The pulse counter comes standard with two replaceable 1.5V AA batteries. It is also available with a line power option1. This option includes a barrel power connector allowing it to be powered by a standard 3.0-3.6V power supply and uses two standard 1.5V AA batteries as backup for uninterrupted operation in the event of line power outage.
