  • Patent number: 8719187
    Abstract: The invention refers to the technical field of the water supply measurement and control systems. The invention may be installed at the water connection of a user before or after a meter, and provides the necessary means and signals for the interconnection thereof. The system of the present invention comprises a Micro-controller device so the carried-out actions may be modified as per the water consumption market requirements, it further comprises a motorized valve which is connected at the user water connection. Each pulse transmitted from the meter is sensed by the System of the invention, updating a time window in a Real Time Clock, on which the updating of the volume permitted to a determined subscriber is registered. The volume consumed by the subscriber is compared with a stored reference at the memory of the invention.

  • Patent number: 8423302
    Abstract: The invention herein is referred to the technical field of measuring and consumption control systems of water. The invention can be installed in a meter that provides the media and signals necessary for its interconnection. The System of the invention herein comprises a Micro-controller devise, therefore, the actions that it carries out can be modified according to the requirements of each agency that supplies drinkable water. Each pulse emitted by the meter, is sensed by the System of the invention; concurrently, a real time clock allows the measurement of the difference of timetables between pulses to obtain the real instant flow rate, in order to increase, later, one of the volume counters that correspond to the consumption recorded within the preset instant flow rate ranges, same that, jointly, will comprise a consumption flow rate histogram.
