TAGGLE SMART WATER METERING PRODUCTS
Integrated Smart Water Meters
Honeywell V200HT with Taggle Radio
Available in 20, 25, 32 and 40mm sizes
The Honeywell V200HT with Taggle Byron integrated radio is the next generation of volumetric technology which is well proven in the Australian market for low flow capture, longevity and robustness.
The V200HT uses positive displacement technology to measure the absolute volume of water flowing and the long-term effects on performance are few, well known and predictable. The V200HT incorporates long proven and ultra-reliable inductive resonant technology for monitoring the flow to allow for digital volume capture.
The electronic register features linearisation technology to increase the accuracy at low flows and over the lifetime of the meter.
The battery is used to power the electronic register and the communications only and does not influence the measurement accuracy. The V200HTs are fully potted to IP68 with 15 years battery life*.
There is no requirement for test modes or specialised test equipment for meter reverification or to investigate customer complaints.

Taggle Cockatoo
Multi-Purpose IoT RTU
The Cockatoo is Taggle’s most versatile telemetry device with the flexibility to accommodate a range of sensors, protocols and radio technologies to address uncommon or specific requirements and challenges.
Use cases include water metering, bore hole monitoring, flood plain and water catchment monitoring, pipeline management, wastewater network management or other activities where monitoring level, pressure, flow, water and air quality, weather, odour and gas.
The Cockatoo offers flexibility of radio choice allowing the best solution to be utilised for the application in question. The Taggle Byron Radio is cost effective when larger numbers of devices are deployed in the area or the network is already available. The Myriota satellite solution would best suit rural deployments spread out over large distances, or smaller numbers of devices where the cost of rolling out a Taggle Byron network would not be justified.

- Supported interfaces include Pulse, Modbus over RS232/RS485, SDI-12 and 4-20mA.
- Support for both internal and external antenna configurations
- NFC Programming Port for rapid infield device installation and configuration
- Flexible power supply options include 1-4 field replaceable internal D-cell batteries allowing for up to 15 years battery life* depending on application or any 9-30V external DC power source
