Prism Register
Our Spectrum meters accurately and reliably track water usage, but there needs to be a way to record that data and transfer it into the cloud for WaterScope™. That’s where our Prism register (also called a monitor) comes in. Fully digital and able to operate without interruption for over 20 years, the Prism connects automatically to the cellular network to upload water consumption data.
One-Minute Data Capture
The Prism register captures water flow rate data every single minute of every day. That’s 1,440 data points every 24 hours. With that level of detail, it’s possible to identify short-lived events such as toilet flushes and showers. No other vendor’s meter system offers this level of insight into water usage.
Daily Upload
24 hours’ worth of minute-by-minute data is uploaded in the middle of the night during a half-minute transmission to the local cellular tower, after which the data is immediately viewable in WaterScope. If a Prism register is configured to provide leak alerts, it won’t wait until the middle of the night: it will send a transmission immediately a leak is detected.
Compatibility
The Prism is compatible with all of Metron’s Spectrum meters* providing a common operational interface and data format. In most cases, Prism connects to Verizon™’s cellular network, though other networks can be used depending on coverage at the deployment location. Cellular connectivity means you’ll have no manual reads and no drive-bys.
*Except for the ultrasonic meter which has an integral register.

Prism EXT
The Prism EXT uses a sophisticated magnetic sensor to capture water flow information from third-party meters. This allows a property manager to see consumption data (using WaterScope) in cases where the meter’s existing register is in use by the water utility.
