1.  6000-SR1--Automatic Sensors for Meter Pulse/Rotation Detection

Spinlab's automatic meter sensors provide the latest technology available on the market. The 2 newest sensors:  (1) Suction Cup and (2) OPTOCOM port sensors (Not part of the standard product) provide the most convenient way to acquire the meter pulses.  The existing infrared sensor that comes standard with the 6000 Bird Dog Plus has been improved to avoid stray triggers due to sunlight.  The following are images of the standard laser and infrared sensors:

(1) The infrared sensor detects infrared pulse on electronic meters.

(2) The laser sensor detects rotations of the disk on mechanical meters or pulsating images on LCD screens of electronic meters.

Here are some of the features of the 6000 Bird Dog Plus standard sensors:

  • One set of sensors to test all meters
  • Mechanical Meters--Laser sensor automatically counts turns of the disk to determine kWh
  • Electronic Meters--Infrared sensor automatically counts pulses to determine kWh  
  • Both sensors use the same mounting device to attach to meters with an elastic Velcro strap  
  • LED light flashes to indicate when a pulse or rotation is detected
  • Automatically times the test with a signal to the Bird Dog Plus
  • Powered by the Bird Dog Plus—No batteries required
  • An additional suction cup & OPTOCOM port sensor is available that attaches to the same mounting device (not part of the standard package)
