The Water Industry's System of Choice Thanks to Badger® Flexibility, Reliability, and Return on Investment.

Whatever the size or population density of your community, configure an efficient TRACE® automatic reading system to fit your needs exactly. You may even install TRACE in phases if you need to upgrade gradually. Choose any combination of integral, remote or pit transponders, and automatic data collection using Badger's new state-of-the-art ReadAll® interrogator, or our field-proven TRACE Mini Mobile interrogator, with vehicle-to-vehicle portability. Mix and match this flexible system throughout your service area to optimize your cost-efficiency.

TRACE's positive impact on your revenue stream begins with the system's extremely efficient performance. ReadAll collects and stores up to 3,000 accurate meter readings automatically - all in the time it takes to walk the route. The TRACE Mini Mobile unit collects and stores precise data at the impressive rate of 1,800 readings per minute. Reduce data collection time by as much as 80%, while your accuracy rate soars.

The savings continue at your utility office, where data can be transferred rapidly via disk or serial communications, eliminating estimates, as well as arduous hand-inputting, with its potential for error. You bill faster, more accurately, with better turnaround on payment - and fewer complaints. That's good for your cash flow - and your customers' satisfaction.
