Neptune® designed the R900® System to make it easy for your utility – installation, everyday use, and expansion for the future without stranded assets. The E-CODER®)R900i™ combination absolute encoder register/radio frequency meter interface unit (RF MIU) is a perfect example of all of the above. Not only does it work with past generations of meters and meter reading systems, but seamless integration is built into this single-unit end-point itself, providing two-way communications of advanced metering data. The E-CODER)R900i’s interleaved mobile and high-power fixed network messages allow for simple migration from mobile to fixed network reading without site visits or reprogramming.
In addition to eliminating the need for programming, the E-CODER)R900ihas no external wires, making
installation easier, faster, and less costly; plus it reduces potential vandalism or tamper. As with the rest
of the R900 System, the design of the unit is intuitive and user-friendly so that minimal training is required

changing workforce needs.
The types of data your utility can generate through the E-CODER)R900ican take you far beyond a simple meter reading for a monthly bill. Hourly consumption profile information over an account’s last 96 days, along with alerts for leak or backf low, help to proactively identify and resolve customer issues – heading off high bill complaints, reducing delinquent payments, and eliminating write-offs. Using Neptune® 360™ host software, your utility can leverage detailed data from the E-CODER)R900i to balance water produced versus water consumed, group accounts for District Metered Area analysis, and track and manage Non-Revenue Water. From increasing efficiencies to pinpointing possible tamper or water theft to aiding customer service, the data supplied by the E-CODER)R900i can help your utility make better, more confident decisions.
