Available Models & Configurations
Prepaid Water Meter — STS Token (Model VCW1000)
The VCW1000 is an STS-compliant volumetric prepaid water meter engineered for housing societies, apartment buildings, and commercial properties across Pakistan. It combines accurate Class B volumetric water measurement with an integrated motorized shut-off valve. Water credit is issued as an encrypted 20-digit STS token generated by supporting utility management software. The user enters the 20-digit code directly into the meter's integrated 12-key numeric keypad to credit volume. When the credit balance reaches zero, the internal valve closes automatically, preventing utility debt.
- International STS-standard 20-digit encrypted token recharge
- Integrated 12-key numeric keypad with protective flip cover
- Integrated motorized valve with automatic zero-balance shut-off
Prepaid Water Meter — IC Card (Model LXSZY-15D)
The LXSZY-15D is an IC card prepaid volumetric water meter engineered for housing societies, multi-unit residential buildings, and commercial facilities in Pakistan. It combines an ISO 4064-compliant volumetric mechanical register with a digital LCD and an integrated motorized shut-off valve. Water units are loaded onto a physical IC card at the property management office. When the card is presented to the meter's reading interface, purchased units transfer directly to the meter balance. If credit depletes, the valve closes automatically to protect landlords and property managers against unpaid utility bills.
- Physical IC card-based local credit management for managed estates
- Dual mechanical dial register plus clear digital LCD
- Integrated motorized valve for automated zero-balance shut-off
Architecture Comparison
Comparing Token Vending vs. Smart Card Recharge
Vensora offers both STS international standard numeric keypad token meters and smart IC card meters. Choose the management architecture that best fits your housing society, commercial property, or utility infrastructure in Pakistan.
STS Numeric Keypad Vending
Model VCW1000 Architecture
Prepaid credit is purchased remotely via banking apps, web portals, or retail agents. Consumers receive a 20-digit encrypted numeric token and type it into the 12-key meter keypad.
- Remote credit purchase via mobile banking, digital wallets, or retail vendors.
- No physical card or office visit required to reload credit.
- Encrypted 20-digit STS token validated locally by internal meter firmware.
- Works reliably in remote locations without cellular SIM cards at the meter.
Smart IC Card Reload
Model LXSZY-15D Architecture
Prepaid water units are loaded onto a physical smart card at the property management office or local terminal, then presented to the meter.
- Ideal for gated communities, student residences, and managed private compounds.
- Central property manager retains 100% administrative control over tariff rates.
- Instant balance deduction; valve automatically reopens upon successful balance load.
- Anti-tamper card encryption prevents unauthorized credit replication.
Frequently Asked Questions
Prepaid Water Metering Questions
How does STS token recharge work?
STS (Standard Transfer Specification) is an international prepaid metering standard (IEC 62055-41). Credit purchase and meter credit entry are two distinct steps: (1) An authorized vending station or mobile system generates an encrypted 20-digit numeric token. Purchasing a token remotely does not automatically transfer credit to the meter over the air. (2) The consumer manually enters the 20 digits into the keypad on the water meter (or the indoor Customer Interface Unit for split electricity meters). The meter decodes the token locally, adds the purchased units, and maintains service without needing active internet or cellular connectivity at the meter body.
How does IC card-based recharge work?
With IC card meters, credit is loaded onto a physical smart card at an estate management office, reception desk, or vending terminal. For electricity meters (Model DDSY6661), the card is inserted into the front slot to instantly transfer kWh balance. For water meters (Model LXSZY-15D), the card is presented to the meter's IC interface. The internal valve or power relay maintains supply while positive credit remains and closes automatically upon depletion.
What is the difference between STS and IC card water meters?
STS water meters (Model VCW1000) use a 12-key numeric keypad protected by a flip lid, accepting 20-digit encrypted numeric tokens purchased via mobile or retail channels. IC card water meters (Model LXSZY-15D) use a physical prepaid smart card managed by property administrators. Both meters feature volumetric measurement, Class B accuracy (ISO 4064), IP68 waterproof enclosures, and internal motorized shut-off valves.
How is credit loaded onto the IC card water meter?
Credit is transferred using an IC card-based recharge system. Because supplier documentation contains varying references (tap area, card insertion, and keypad callouts), Vensora designates the specific interaction as under hardware review. Specific presentation and handling instructions will be confirmed based on your project's verified hardware shipment.
