Maddalena - DSTRP Water Meter

Sealed register permanently protected dial multi-jet meter DS TRP MID is the latest range of sealed register permanently protected dry dial multi-jets by Maddalena designed to meet the strict requirements of the Directive 2004/22/EC on measuring instruments and of European Standard EN 14154. DS TRP MID combines high performance at low flow rates and maximum resistance to high flow rates and pressure.

DS TRP MID is designed for remote communication: it may be equipped with a pulser of the latest generation and a radio module that maintains the mechanical and metrological characteristics without affecting readability. DS TRP MID is guaranteed by Maddalena: a manufacturer of high-quality measuring instruments for the past century.

DS TRP MID multi-jet water meters feature a sealed register and a permanently protected dial design. The plate showing the measurement and the MID inscriptions does not come into contact with the flowing water. As a result, it remains perfectly clear ensuring reading with scaling and ferrous water and suspended particles contained in water. Readability is also ensured by the mineral tempered glass lens which has a flat and smooth surface and, unlike plastic lenses, is scratch resistant and does not turn opaque.

DS TRP MID meters are unaffected by external magnetic interference and are tamper-proof. Performance is unaffected by the installation conditions and the water characteristics. DS TRP MID water meters may be equipped with a new generation bidirectional static pulser. The pulser may also be retrofitted in pre-equipped water meters maintaining the meter characteristics, the design, and the mineral glass lens.

New Version:

DS TRP MID meters are now available in a new version ready for retrofitting an inductive pulser. They are the only sealed register meters available in this design that retains the glass lens. This has been made possible by the introduction of a new glass (GORILLA GLASS), widely used in electronic devices, that enables the use of a fully non-magnetic sensor (patent pending).

DS TRP MID water meters are certified in accordance with Directive 2004/22/EC (Annex MI-001) and have undergone conformity assessment procedure B+D. The maximum measuring range Q3 /Q1 (R) certified is 200. As a result, water meters with a lower ratio (R160, 125, 100, etc.) may be manufactured. DS TRP MID water meters are also certified for use with potable water in accordance with the Italian ministerial decree 6 April 2004 no. 174 and international regulations.

Accuracy and Reliability

The register mechanism is housed in a dry compartment meaning that it does not come into contact with the flowing water. As a result, it remains perfectly clear for reading when used with scaling or sand particles suspended in the water.

Stainless Steel 18/8 numbered drum and bearing shafts ensure accuracy is maintained for long meter life.

Internal components are made of Non hygroscopic, anti-scaling and wear-resistant plastic materials.

Each meter is hydraulic tested at three flow rates (Q1, Q2, Q3) on 100% of the production. Meter performance exceeds the previous ISO 4064 Class C.

Legibility

The display on 5 drums for m³ and 4 pointer dials for litres ensures perfect reliability. The lowest resolution is 0.1 litres. The dial has a central disc for leak detection. The register is within a dry-protected housing isolated from water flow to ensure clear reading over the life of the meter. The meter is pre-equipped to allow remote reading and radio read modules.

• Tempered mineral glass lens of adequate thickness (1) The inductive design features a high-performance glass lens
• The numbered drums, the cubic meter fractions, the MID inscriptions and the serial number are in the sealed register and do not come into contact with water ensuring continued readability (2)
