Overview
Wireless pulse counters can be integrated with up to four, dry contact or mechanical switch and closure devices to count the number of actuations occurring within a given time frame for each input.
How They Work
- The sensor measures pulse counters data using its integrated sensing element at configurable intervals.
- Readings are transmitted wirelessly to the UpKeep Edge gateway via the 900 MHz protocol, with Encrypt-RF security.
- UpKeep Edge processes incoming data in real time, comparing readings against user-defined alert thresholds.
- When thresholds are breached, instant notifications are sent via text, email, or phone call to designated team members.
- All data is logged for historical trending, compliance reporting, and predictive maintenance analysis.
Applications
- Utility meter reading
- Production counting
- Flow totalizing
- Machine cycle tracking

Questions about this sensor
- What does the Enterprise - Pulse Counter, 1 Input measure?
- Wireless pulse counters can be integrated with up to four, dry contact or mechanical switch and closure devices to count the number of actuations occurring within a given time frame for each input.
- Where is the Enterprise - Pulse Counter, 1 Input typically installed?
- Common placements include utility meter reading, production counting, flow totalizing. It uses an AA-battery enclosure, which trades a little size for the longest battery life in the range.
- What does it need to work?
- An UpKeep Edge gateway within about 1,200 ft. One gateway supports 50 or more sensors, and readings reach UpKeep over the gateway's cellular, Ethernet, or Modbus connection.
- What happens when a reading is out of range?
- UpKeep opens a work order against the asset and notifies the assigned technician. You set the thresholds for each pulse counter individually.
