Abstract:
1. A meter register, comprising: a sealed register body having a face portion and a body defining an internal cavity; a rotatable follower magnetic member provided in said internal cavity, said follower magnetic member adapted to be rotated by a driving magnetic member external of said sealed meter register, said follower magnetic member provided within said internal cavity; an antenna provided within said internal cavity, and a visual display provided within said internal cavity and visible through said face portion; and a microprocessor coacting with said antenna, wherein said rotatable member coacts with said microprocessor to determine a volume of flow and/or a flow rate through a meter and wherein said antenna is adapted to transmit a signal identifying the flow rate and/or the volume of flow measured by said register, and wherein said visual display displays a volume of flow measured by the register that corresponds to a number of rotations of said rotatable member.
