Smart sensor monitors in-meter water pressure
The 129CP digital water pressure sensor from Sensata allows remote monitoring by utilities to identify distribution issues, leaks, and other non-revenue water events. Integrated into residential and commercial water meters, the 129CP improves metering efficiency and reliability.
Water utilities manage extensive infrastructure to pump and deliver water to residential houses and commercial buildings. According to the International Water Association, 30% of water produced worldwide is wasted due to leaks within the network, metering inaccuracies, unauthorized consumption, or other issues.
By combining precision pressure monitoring with digital I2C communication, the 129CP sensor delivers granular insights into water usage. It monitors pressure from 0 to 232 psi (sealed gauge), while consuming less than 2 µA at a 1-Hz measurement rate.
Rugged construction enables the 129CP to survive 10 to 15 years in challenging high-moisture, high-shock environments. The device operates from a supply voltage of 1.7 V to 3.6 V over a temperature range of +2°C to +85°C.
