Sensus, a Xylem brand

• The Stratus IQ+ measures voltage minute by minute. Every fifth minute, the data is delivered to the utility – allowing personnel to make smarter decisions.

• Stratus IQ is designed to be indestructible.  The design interlocks to protect the smart meter from weather damage, rough handling, theft or tampering.

• The Stratus IQ has “software defined metrology” with features that significantly improve three areas;
  • efficiency (power management & operations)
  • cost savings
  • safety

Utility customers expect reliability of service, fair price and safe energy delivery-- Stratus IQ delivers in all three areas.

• Just a few of the software defined metrology features include;
  • Loss of neutral
  • Power quality (harmonic distortion)
  • Voltage/current sampling
  • Meter bypass  (jump around)

• The residential meter monitors consumption and transmits and receives data in near-real time. It also offers advanced functionality beyond meter reading, including:
  • Eight channels of load profile
  • Meter history log
  • Continuous health checks
  • Scheduled remote disconnect
  • Tilt detection

• The Stratus IQ+ has an additional card slot offering even more expandability in the future.

By combining smart meters and other applications with two-way communications on the Sensus FlexNet communication network, utilities can capture and analyze more data for optimal operational efficiency. The two-way system offers point-to-multipoint functionality and secure, reliable, robust data transmission. Utilities can more accurately measure consumption and access near real-time data that helps to proactively alert customers to any potential issues.
