This type of meter sends an electrical signal to a remote register mounted outside the building after a particular amount of water is used

• A. Magnetic drive type
• B. Electrical pulse generator type
• C. Turbine type
• D. Positive displacement type

Answer: (B)

Meters that provide an electronic pulse output after a defined amount of water has passed are designed for remote reading. This electrical pulse generator type converts flow into discrete pulses, with each pulse representing a fixed volume. A remote register mounted outside the building counts those pulses to display total usage, enabling automatic or remote monitoring without opening the meter.

Other meter styles rely on mechanical motion or magnetic coupling to drive a local display and aren’t inherently built to send fixed-volume pulses to a separate remote reader. That’s why the electrical pulse generator type is the best fit for this scenario.
