ARAD is proud to introduce the OCTAVE, a new

revolutionary, precise and super reliable ultrasonic bulk water meter.

This new meter, having both superior hydraulic performance as well

as advanced alert, data and statistical features, will naturally lead the world of water

management.

LeakageThe leaks detection module maps the physical network structure into groups. Utilizing a smart algorithm, it is able to calculate even the slightest water loss within any specific group, or between main groups and sub-groups.

Theft The system is specially programmed to "know" how to identify water theft; either directly from the meter or from the line (between meters). It immediately alerts the utility customer by mail, fax or cellular phone.

Damage The system is also capable of identifing deliberate damage to the meters, and immediately alerts the utility customer by mail, fax or cellular phone.

BackFlowThe system recognizes if a meter is installed incorrectly, in the wrong direction, or has been deliberately altered by the end user. The meter sends an alert notification that consumption is flowing in the wrong direction.

ARAD Technologies net management service (ATUS2000.COM) supplies the utility with a range of effective tools to manage and control its water, gas & electricity network. The system includes detection modules such as:

Imagine two identical swimmers crossing a river on the same diagonal line, one with

the flow and the other against the flow. The swimmer moving with the flow needs much

less time to reach the opposite bank.

Ultrasonic waves behave exactly the same way. The sound wave that flows in the direction of the

stream moves faster than the one that flows against the stream.

The transit times TAB (Transit time of ultrasonic waves from sensor A to sensor B) and TBA

(from sensor B to A) are measured continuously. The time difference (TBA - TAB) is directly proportional to the mean flow velocity (Vm) of the liquid.

The flow rate is a result of the velocity multiplied by the cross section area of the flow tube size.
