Wildeye is a standard industrial telemetry device for collecting remote meter & sensor data for any device within cellular coverage. Connect a Wildeye to an Aquamonix I500 flow meter to transfer flow and meter data directly to the web. There are several options to connect up the Aquamonix I500:
For full details of meter interface and wiring see details of each option below. |

Aquamonix I500 Flow Meter |
Wildeye RS485 Connection (Recommended)
Use a standard Wildeye WILD-M-R-NAR4-NACS to connect to an Aquamonix I500 using the RS-485 interface.
The Wideye can be powered from the Aquamonix I500 modem power port, or it can alternatively source it's own external power.
For detailed wiring refer to wiring diagrams below.
