Pulse data loggers record the pulse-output signals produced by flow meters, water and gas meters, energy (kWh) meters, anemometers and other sensors that send a contact-closure or voltage pulse for each unit measured. By counting and time-stamping those pulses, a pulse logger turns any pulse-output device into a complete data-recording system — ideal for flow-rate monitoring, utility sub-metering, energy audits, traffic and event counting, air-speed logging and frequency recording.
Pacific Sensor Technologies supplies a full range of pulse counters and pulse data loggers for Australian industry, from compact single-channel units to multi-input industrial recorders. Choose a wired USB pulse logger for stand-alone deployments, or a wireless pulse logger with NB-IoT or Bluetooth for remote and IoT monitoring. Leading brands in stock include MadgeTech (Pulse101A, RFPulse2000A, Titan S8), COMET (U7844, M1300 series) and EFENTO wireless pulse sensors.
Typical applications include water-meter pulse logging, flow-meter data logging, energy / kWh metering, gas metering, rainfall tipping-bucket counting and machine-cycle event counting.

Choosing the right pulse data logger comes down to four things: the type and speed of your meter’s pulse output, whether you need wired or wireless data collection, how many inputs you’re logging, and the environment the logger will live in.
Start by checking your meter’s pulse specification — the pulse rate (pulses per litre, m³ or kWh) and whether it uses a contact-closure (reed switch) or voltage pulse. Then match it to a logger with a high enough maximum pulse rate and the right input type.
For remote sites, choose an NB-IoT or 4G wireless models; for stand-alone audits, a wired or Bluetooth logger is simplest and most cost-effective.
A pulse data logger is a recording device that counts and time-stamps the pulse-output signals from meters and sensors — for example one pulse per litre from a water meter or one pulse per kWh from an energy meter. It converts those pulses into a stored data record of flow, consumption or events over time.
It connects to a device’s pulse or contact-closure output. Each time the meter sends a pulse, the logger increments a count and records the timestamp. Software then converts the pulse count into engineering units (litres, m³, kWh, etc.) and shows totals, rates and trends.
State loggers record on/off status changes, event loggers record the time each event occurs, and pulse loggers count high-frequency pulses within each interval — best when pulses arrive too quickly to log individually. See our detailed guide ‘Choosing between state, event and pulse data loggers’ for examples.
Yes. Water-meter pulse logging is one of the most common uses. As long as your water meter has a pulse or reed-switch output (e.g. 1 pulse per litre or per 10 litres), a pulse logger will record consumption for sub-metering, leak detection and billing verification.
Yes. Most electricity and gas meters provide a pulse output proportional to consumption. A pulse logger records these for energy audits, tenant sub-metering and demand profiling. Match the logger’s maximum pulse rate to your meter’s output frequency.
Wired/USB pulse loggers (e.g. MadgeTech Pulse101A) are downloaded on-site and suit stand-alone use. Wireless pulse loggers send readings automatically — EFENTO and COMET offer NB-IoT and Bluetooth models for remote, real-time and IoT monitoring without manual downloads.
Different models support different maximum pulse rates, contact-closure and voltage-pulse inputs, and channel counts. Check each product’s specification, or contact us with your meter’s pulse rate and output type and we’ll recommend a suitable logger.
Our pulse loggers range from around $128 to $3,925 depending on channels, connectivity and accuracy. All models are stocked and supported locally in Australia with fast delivery and technical assistance from our team.
