DAE MJn-200 2in Water Meter, Pulse Output + Couplings - Reliable

Our review of the DAE MJn-200 2in Water Meter finds it well suited for landlords, property managers and industrial users who need a robust mechanical meter with remote reading options. The bottom line: this horizontal inline meter delivers accurate city water measurement with a pulse output and multiple remote-reading attachments, making it a practical choice when you want reliable cumulative gallons data without complex installation. It is especially appealing where high flow handling and cloud metering expansion are priorities.

Key Features

• Horizontal inline mount: Designed to be installed with the dial facing upwards, which simplifies reading and maintenance in typical piping runs.
• Pulse output ready: The meter supports pulse output for easy connection to electronic counters or AMR modules for remote reading and automated logging.
• Cloud metering compatible: Can be integrated with the CC2030 Gateway and AMR modules to push usage data to a cloud server for real time monitoring and billing.
• Wide flow range: Suitable for flows commonly encountered in multi-unit buildings, with recommended maximum continuous flow up to 80 GPM and safe maximum up to 160 GPM.
• Standards compliance: Built to conform to AWWA C700 and ISO 4064 Class C for city water applications, helping ensure consistent performance and acceptance by utilities.
• Accessory ready: Works with inexpensive remote readers like CO-10 or AMR130 for single- or multi-meter remote reading installations.

Who It's For

The MJn-200 is aimed at property owners, maintenance teams and contractors who need a sturdy, accurate water meter for horizontal inline installations and want the option to add pulse-based remote reading or cloud metering later. It is a good fit for multi-unit buildings, commercial sites and municipal hookups where durability and standards compliance matter.

Those who need a meter that can be installed in vertical pits or rotated to face downward should look to the other DAE models referenced by the manufacturer, since this unit is specifically for horizontal inline use with the dial up and is not intended for pit applications.

Pros & Cons

Pros

• Solid build and trustworthy accuracy in the normal flow range, matching customer praise for quality and value.
• Flexible remote-reading ecosystem with CO-10, AMR130 and CC2030 Gateway options for both local and cloud-based monitoring.
• Handles relatively high flows and meets AWWA and ISO standards for city water measurement.
• Factory calibration certificates available for installations that require documented proof of accuracy.

Cons

• Limited to horizontal inline mounting with the dial facing up, so not suitable for all piping orientations.
• Remote-reading accessories such as CO-10, AMR modules or CC2030 Gateway are sold separately, adding to total system cost.
