Zenner Atmos IQ IC-Card Prepaid Diaphragm Gas Meter | IGS Series

Streamline your revenue cycle and operational efficiency with the Zenner Atmos IQ IC-Card Prepaid Diaphragm Gas Meter. Part of the innovative IGS series, this credit gas meter utilizes an encrypted IC card as a secure data carrier, eliminating the need for manual on-site meter reading while ensuring payment security.

Description

The Zenner Atmos IQ IC-Card Prepaid Diaphragm Gas Meter represents the intersection of precise mechanical metrology and smart payment technology. For utility providers, the challenge is often balancing accurate measurement with efficient debt management. The IGS system addresses this by using an encrypted IC card not just for credit transfer, but as a diagnostic tool. This feature allows the operator to detect tampering or system faults without deploying a technician to the field.

Beneath the smart electronic module lies a high-performance mechanical core suitable for various gas media. The meter features an integrated calibration system that coordinates the movement of the valves in relation to the optimum gas flow. This mechanical synchronization guarantees excellent linearity of the error curve, ensuring that the meter remains accurate even at very low flow rates, which is critical for minimizing non-revenue gas losses.

Durability and long-term stability are ensured through the optimum rotating characteristics of the valves. This design keeps the Qmin value stable over the device’s lifespan and makes the gas meter resistant to contamination, reducing maintenance requirements. Fully compliant with international standards, the Atmos IQ provides the reliability needed for modern gas distribution networks.

Zenner

ZENNER gas meters impress by the solid processing of high-quality materials combined with a large number of technical details. In the manufacturing process we purely use materials of the highest quality that meet the requirements for product lifetime, security and technical precision.

For example, the housing of our diaphragm gas meters are made of high quality steel or aluminum. The raw material of the essential parts are imported from Europe.

In addition we purely use tested component connections to guarantee that the meters are solid, safe and leakproof. The corrosion resistance is ensured by the use of galvanized steel and die-casting aluminum. In addition to meters are mainly used in residential, commercial and industrial settings.
