HAC-WR-X: Pioneering the Future of Wireless Smart Metering

Short Description:

In today’s fiercely competitive smart metering market, HAC Company’s HAC-WR-X Meter Pulse Reader stands out as a transformative solution poised to redefine wireless metering.

Broad Compatibility with Top Brands
The HAC-WR-X integrates effortlessly with a wide range of water meter brands, including Europe’s ZENNER, North America’s INSA (SENSUS), as well as ELSTER, DIEHL, ITRON, BAYLAN, APATOR, IKOM, and ACTARIS. Its innovative bottom-bracket design simplifies installation, significantly reducing lead times—one U.S. water company even reported a 30% faster installation process.

Extended Battery Life and Versatile Connectivity
Designed for long-term performance, the device utilizes replaceable Type C and Type D batteries, boasting an operational life of over 15 years. This not only minimizes maintenance but also promotes environmental sustainability—evidenced by an Asian residential project where the meter ran for over a decade without a battery change. Additionally, the HAC-WR-X supports multiple communication protocols, including LoRaWAN, NB-IoT, LTE-Cat1, and Cat-M1, which was instrumental in a Middle Eastern smart city project for real-time water monitoring.

Intelligent Features for Diverse Applications
Beyond basic data collection, the HAC-WR-X includes advanced diagnostic capabilities. In one African water facility, it detected an early-stage pipeline leak, thereby preventing significant water loss and associated costs. Its remote upgrade feature has also proven valuable—enabling a South American industrial park to add new functionalities that further reduced expenses and conserved water.

Overall, the HAC-WR-X combines extensive brand compatibility, long-lasting power, flexible connectivity, and intelligent diagnostics, making it an outstanding choice for urban, industrial, and residential water management.

LoRaWAN Features

Technical parameter

1	Working frequency	Compatible with LoRaWAN®(Supports EU433/CN470/EU868/ US915/ AS923 /AU915/IN865/KR920,and then when you have specific frequency bands, it needs to be confirmed with sales before ordering the product)
2	Transmission power	Comply with the standards
3	Working temperature	-20℃~+60℃
4	Working voltage	3.0~3.8 VDC
5	Transmission distance	>10km
6	Battery life	>8 years @ ER18505 , Once a day transmittion>12 years @ ER26500 Once a day transmittion
7	Waterproof degree	IP68

Function Description

1	Data reporting	Supports two types of reporting: timed reporting and manually triggered reporting. Timed reporting refers to the module randomly reporting according to the reporting cycle (24 hours by default);
2	Metering	Support non-magnetic measurement method. It can support 1L/P, 10L/P, 100L/P, 1000L/P, and can adapt sampling rate according to Q3 configuration
3	Monthly and yearly frozen data storage	It can save 10 years of annual frozen data and monthly frozen data of the last 128 months, and the cloud platform can query historical data.
4	Dense acquisition	Support dense acquisition function,it can be set, the value range is: 5, 10, 15, 20, 30, 60, 120, 240, 360, 720 min, and it can be able to store up to 12 pieces of dense acquisition data. The default value of intensive sampling period is 60min..
5	Overcurrent alarm	1. If the water/gas usage exceeds the threshold for a certain period of time (default 1 hour), an overcurrent alarm will be generated.2. The threshold for water/gas burst can be configured through infrared tools
6	Leakage alarm	The continuous water usage time can be set. When the continuous water usage time is greater than the set value (continuous water usage time), a leakage alarm flag will be generated within 30 minutes. If the water consumption is 0 within 1 hour, the water leakage alarm sign will be cleared. Report the leakage alarm immediately upon detecting it for the first time every day, and do not proactively report it at other times.
7	Reverse flow alarm	The maximum value of continuous reversal can be set, and if the number of continuous reversal measurement pulses is greater than the set value (maximum value of continuous reversal), a reverse flow alarm flag will be generated. If the continuous forward measurement pulse exceeds 20 pulses, the reverse flow alarm flag will be clear.
8	Anti disassembly alarm	1. The disassembly alarm function is achieved by detecting the vibration and angle deviation of the water/gas meter.2. The sensitivity of the vibration sensor can be configured through infrared tools
9	Low voltage alarm	If the battery voltage is below 3.2V and lasts for more than 30 seconds, a low voltage alarm sign will be generated. If the battery voltage is greater than 3.4V and the duration is greater than 60 seconds, the low voltage alarm will be clear. The low voltage alarm flag will not be activated when the battery voltage is between 3.2V and 3.4V. Report the low voltage alarm immediately upon detecting it for the first time every day, and do not proactively report it at other times.
10	Parameter settings	Support wireless near and remote parameter settings. The remote parameter setting is realized through the cloud platform, and the near parameter setting is realized through the production test tool. There are two ways to set the near field parameters, namely wireless communication and infrared communication.
11	Firmware update	Support upgrading device applications through infrared and wireless methods.
12	Storage function	When entering storage mode, the module will disable functions such as data reporting and measurement. When exiting the storage mode, it can be set to release the storage mode by triggering data reporting or entering the infrared state to save power consumption.
13	Magnetic attack alarm	If the magnetic field approaches for more than 3 seconds, an alarm will be triggered
