STX-100 Solar Powered Wireless Transmitter

Coming soon! The STX-100 converts any of our wired meters to a wireless meter! It solves three problems: Eliminates the need to trench long wires Makes a better wireless meter by keeping the transmitting part well above ground You no longer have to replace wireless meter batteries every season A simple mount bolts to a standard U-shaped garden stake (not included -- we got ours at Home Depot) and allows the solar panel to be oriented towards the sun. Two AA NiMH batteries are continuously recharged by the solar panel and should last for many years. The mount has 5 holes at 1.5" spacing and should be compatible with the stake in the picture that has both 4.5" and 6" hole spacing, as well as those with 1" hole spacing. The STX-100 transmits over the long-range 915 MHz ISM band to a UMI-200 interface, which is placed close to the controller (protected from weather). To the controller the interface looks like a wired flow meter. The UMI-200 offers a lot of programmability -- for example, controllers that require either frequency output (with arbitrary K-factor and offset) or scaled pulse signals (Hunter) can be supported. We'll be offering special pricing on the STX-100/UMI-200 combination.
