Bun Counter

Active/passive pulse collector and legacy smart converter.

About the Product
bun COUNTER is a pulse integrator and hourly load profiler.

It comes with an Active/Passive (dry contact) pulse input and a tamper detection loop and can receive active and passive pulses from any external source, and record the accumulated number of incoming pulses in its internal memory with a timestamp. Its internal memory has enough storage capacity to keep over 22 months of hourly data.

bun COUNTER automatically syncs data to the cloud. It can be coupled with any type of meter with a pulse output which enables bun COUNTER to effectively upgrade legacy or low-cost meters and convert them into smart cloud-based (internet / Wi-Fi enabled) solutions.

As it connects directly to Wi-Fi, bun COUNTER eliminates the need for a gateway or radio data concentrator in sub-metering networks. It can calculate utility costs for any period of time automatically.

bun COUNTER is powered by 2 replaceable AA batteries for up to 6 years*. An external power pack is also available. This enables more frequent data uploads and preserves the battery as a backup only.

All settings can be setup through a web-based application on any platform and adjusted remotely.

The advantage of automatically logging frequent data (every 60 minutes) is the ability to access historical records including graphs and periodical reports for reporting and review without the manual labour.

Both hardware and software installation are simple and do not require any specific tools, professional installers, or applications. See further information on features included in all bun family products.

Note: Recommended ambient conditions are required for the device to stay fully operational. These operations include being able to connect and sync with the cloud.

*Depending on frequency of reading and upload intervals and environmental conditions. Battery life is more than 6 years in a standard set up (Operating temperature 20°C. Measurement every hour. Upload every 48 hours).
