    Abstract: A modular utility meter, for example, a water meter, is provided which comprises a meter base and a meter head. The output signal from a transducer in the meter base is processed in the meter head to calculate the utility supply. The processing includes linearization of the signal calibration data stored in the meter base. Therefore, any meter head may be combined with a meter base containing any different type of transducer.

  • Modular utility meter
    Patent number: 6952970
    Abstract: A modular utility meter (1), for example, a water meter, is provided which comprises a meter base (2) and a meter head (3). The output signal from a transducer in the meter base (2) it processed in the meter head (3) to calculate the utility supply. The processing includes linearization of the signal using calibration data stored in the meter base (2). Therefore, any meter head may be combined with a meter base containing any different type of transducer.
