Abstract: A system for monitoring water quality in a water meter data collection system having a plurality of metering end points (E) for measuring consumption includes a plurality of chemical biological and environmental sensors (S1, S2) disposed in a distribution system near or within the distribution end points (A, B), with the sensors (S1, S2) generating electrical signals through a network (G) that can be processed and communicated with the water meter data to a collection station (D) from the metering end points (E).

Abstract: An automatic meter reader includes a microprocessor connected through digital logic circuitry and a telephone interface to a metering transducer and a telephone line, to develop modulated signals for reporting of registered meter data and for sampling of received signals to detect a carrier and to effect demodulation and develop control data. A count-down arrangement is used for developing the modulated signals. In sampling received signals, a sample count is developed which is proportional to the duration of one cycle of a received signal and which is compared with stored counts for detection of a carrier and for demodulation. A debounce arrangement is included in the logic circuitry.
