How to Read Your Beacon Water Meter Device

Beacon devices primary purpose:

  • Give customers the availability to view and monitor their water use.
  • Early leak notification. Beacon devices are not intended to be a leak detection device (physically reading the dial is the best way to find out if a leak is still persistent).
  • Does not communicate in real time. Beacon devices communicate once every 24 hours.
  • Beacons transmit cellularly. With the hilly terrain and tree coverage your device may not communicate for a few days. We try to monitor this as best as we can to make sure your device is communicating properly.
  • Beacon device example

    First Screen in Units with Extended Digits
    Only underlined digits are the read. For example, 791 units is the read.

  • Beacon device example

    Second Screen in Units without Extended Digits
    The important part of the screen is the flow indicator on the right. You will see a circular movement when water is flowing.

  • Beacon device example

    Third Screen Shows Meter Size "d=screen"
    35 = 3/4 inch
    70 = 1 inch
    120 = 1 1/2 inch

  • Beacon device example

    Fourth Screen Shows Current Gal/min. Flow
    Now, there is no flow. If it showed a number, multiply the number by 60 to get hourly flow.
