The STW36-B is a high-performance STS-certified split-type prepaid water meter designed to deliver accurate, reliable, and user-friendly water consumption measurement for both residential and commercial applications. Engineered with modern water management needs in mind, this meter integrates advanced technology, robust construction, and flexible functionality to optimize resource allocation, reduce operational costs, and enhance user convenience—making it an ideal choice for water supply departments, property managers, and utility projects worldwide.
Compliant with international standards including STS, ISO9001, ISO14001, and GB/T778-2018, the STW36-B guarantees exceptional quality and long-term durability. Its split-type design separates the meter body from the Customer Interface Unit (CIU), enabling flexible installation and easy operation. Equipped with 433MHz LoRa RF wireless communication technology, the meter supports real-time data transmission, allowing remote monitoring of water usage trends, balance status, and device performance—empowering utilities to streamline management and improve operational efficiency.
Core Features & Advantages
Precision Metering: Adopts high-precision metering ICs from elite international brands, featuring multi-jet dry dial technology and Class 2.0 accuracy (Class B/Class C). Available in DN15, DN20, and DN25 sizes, it ensures accurate measurement across flow rates (Q1-Q4) with a permissible error of only 2% (Q2≤Q< Q4) and 5% (Q1≤Q≤Q2), delivering trustworthy data for billing and resource management.
Robust & Durable Design: Built with wear-resistant, high-strength flame-retardant ABS thick-walled housing and a precision brass primary body, paired with corrosion-resistant brass threaded joints for leak-free performance. Boasting an IP68 protection rating, it is fully waterproof, rainproof, and humidity-resistant—suitable for harsh outdoor or underground installation environments.
Intelligent Prepaid Functionality: Supports STS token-based recharge (20-digit token) with three flexible top-up methods: on-site recharge at service points, mobile top-up via third-party platforms (M-PESA, Alipay, MTN, Airtel, etc.) through API integration, and door-to-door service via mobile vending units. A recharge limitation feature prevents overstocking by rejecting requests when the total balance exceeds the preset limit.
Comprehensive Safety & Alerts: Equipped with magnetic tamper detection—automatically closing the valve upon interference, with service restoration only via a tamper-clearing token. Additional alerts include low credit warnings (configurable via token), low battery reminders (auto-locking the valve with data backup if unresolved), and real-time status notifications via the CIU’s buzzer and LED indicators.
Flexible Tariff & Emergency Support: Supports up to 3 configurable tiered (progressive) tariffs for demand-based pricing, plus an emergency overdraft function that allows essential water use when the balance is depleted—with flexible daily or monthly repayment options.
Data Logging & Traceability: Features a high-precision real-time clock and an event log that records tamper alarms, valve operations, and up to a decade of hourly/monthly consumption data. Users can query balances and usage trends in real time via short codes, ensuring full transparency for both utilities and end-users
