FEATURES:
Each apartment has a water meter installed by a plumber. Each
meter is equipped with a transmitter, typically installed on
a nearby wall. As required, repeaters are installed throughout
the community to receive signals from the transmitters, verify
them, and amplify the signal to peak power, for transmission
to the Receiver. The Receiver and Central Unit, typically installed
in the clubhouse, decodes transmissions from the receiver and
stores the meter readings (in tens of gallons) for retrieval
by Energy Billing Systems, Inc.'s billing computer.
