The operation of the single jet element allows the meter to be applied in the vast majority of potable cold water, small commercial applications. These meters are designed with a very high range, including low flow performance equaling or exceeded all other metering technologies. Coupled with the advanced innov8 registers, the Spectrum single-jets are the meter of choice for your revenue assurance and water loss programs. All Spectrum Model-D meters are top-loading, chamber designs which allow for field maintenance and repairs. Operations Incoming water rotates a suspended impeller that is magnetically linked to the register. A low friction tungsten carbide bearing supports the impeller at low flow rates while a tungsten carbide thrust bearing provides the support at high flow rates. This unique “dual bearing” design provides unparalleled accuracy and durability at both high and low flows. To maintain accuracy, the meter must be installed horizontally (±10°) in the direction of water flow. The Spectrum 88DL and 88 DLT come with an integral test port on the outlet. Although regular maintenance is not required, the Spectrum Model D meters have a top-loading measurement chamber for simple access without removing the meter from service. The chamber is bolted to the meter body and secured with a tamper seal. All Spectrum Model D meters utilize innov8 registers. These sealed electronic registers provide a high resolution interface to the meter and have multiple cellular, AMR, AMI and SCADA outputs. All registers are attached with a robust tamper-resistant housing.
