The 5-drum display has large digits (5mm height)

with black marking on white drums. Therefore the
meter can be read from a distance of over one
metre. Pointers on the meter dial indicate sub-
multiples of m3.
There is no risk of condensation with the wet

Tampering protection
Through its design, the 420 offers extremely high

protection against tampering to avoid any misuse
of the meter:
• As the meter has no magnetic transmission and a
magnet free HRI interface, it is totally unaffected
by a magnet placed near the meter
• The use of a robust brass body combined with a
thick (8mm) polycarbonate glass prohibit any
mechanical mechanism stopping

The 420 meter must be installed in a low point of

the pipeline. Dimensional diagram
The meter must be installed with the arrow cast on
the body corresponding to the direction of water
flow.
Before fitting the water meter, all pipe work must
be flushed out to remove all foreign bodies.
An upstream valve is recommended to allow
installation and removal of the meter. When
connecting the meter with the water network, the
upstream valve must be opened slowly in order to
fill the meter with water smoothly.
During tightening, the meter can be maintained in
position with a standard tool owing to the flats on
the pipe.
No special maintenance is required.

HRI Options
The dial of the 420 meter is equipped as standard

with a pointer able to activate the HRI sensor.
The HRI reproduces the mechanical register index
exactly, by detecting the direction of rotation of
the pointer. It provides a reliable pulse- and data
interface for remote and mobile readout. The
HRI can be fitted in the field on already installed
Sentinel water meters or ordered factory fitted to
the meter.
For more information refer to the leaflets LS 8100
and LS 3300
The HRI is available as three versions:
1. HRI Pulse Unit (A-version)

The litre pointer activates the HRI allowing a basic
resolution of one litre per pulse. The output pulse
value can be factory set using the divisor D
(e.g. D = 100 means 1 pulse per 100 litres).
The possible pulse output D values are (amongst
others):
1 / 10 / 100 / 1000 / 2.5 / 25 / 250
2. HRI Data Unit (B-version)

The design of the HRI Data Unit integrates a data
interface to read the meter index and identification
number. This version additionally provides a pulse
output as described above.
The HRI Data Unit can be connected to a M-Bus
network for remote read or a MiniPad for mobile
inductive read (MiniBus), both in accordance with
the IEC 870 or Sensus protocol.
3. Sensus((S))cout-S Radio Unit

Integrated Sensus((S))cout radio with the usage
of long term proven and reliable HRI sensing
technology. Radio read is made via the handheld
Psion WA pro and Dokom mobile (WinCE) software
For any additional information about the HRI,

please refer to the data sheets LS 8100 and LS
3300.
