Deméter is an IoT device made by Hidroconta to control hydraulic equipment such as hydraulic valves and water meters and sensors on water distribution systems.
Communications tailored to the system’s topology
Deméter 1H communicates with a central server using GPRS technology or free-band radio and it can operate continuously for 6 months with no communications without losing any information.
Self-contained device
Deméter, Hidroconta’s remote control device, is a fully autonomous system. Powered by a single lithium battery that provides a battery life greater than 3 years for the GPRS version and 10 years for the RADIO version (24 communications per day).
Asset control
The Deméter 1H device is able to control one hydrant (water meter plus hydraulic valve) and a digital input.
Dual functionality
This hardware developed by Hidroconta can function as a GPRS end-point
Meter input
Designed for reed-type potential free contacts. 30 uA consumption with a closed contact. It can also be used with open collector-type pulse emitters (respecting the polarity).
Digital input
Potential free contact. Similar to that described for the meter inputs. Useful when used with intrusion detection systems, digital pressure switches, etc.
Analogue inputs
•2 10-bit resolution 0-20 / 4-20 mA analogue inputs.
•The device has a 15 Vdc terminal to power the sensors.
Solenoid valve outputs
Deméter 1H has 1 output for a 12 V latching solenoid valve. Triggering is performed using the energy stored in a 4700 uF capacitor charged to a voltage of 18 V. More than sufficient for most manufacturers.
