Encoder EM6422

Pulse emitter for positive displacement meters

Data sheet: DS/EM/0002/EN Ed. February 2013

The pulse emitter “EM6422” converts the rotary

motion of a Positive Displacement Flowmeter into
electric pulses. It allows the meter to interface with
ISOIL electronic counters (VEGA II, VEGA T).

EM6422 “type A” may be mounted directly onto all

recently built ISOIL p.d. meters.
“Type B” may be mounted on all previous versions of
ISOIL meters by means of and adapter.
On demand, by means of dedicated flanges, it may
be installed on meters from different brands.

EM6422 is made of an aluminum encasing divided

into compartments, each separated from the other
by an aluminum wall.
In one of the two compartments, a small shaft,
installed on a roller bearing, is connected at one end
to the output shaft of the pd meter, while on the
other end, close to the separating aluminum wall, the
