A fluid flow, particularly water, monitoring device that envelopes the body of a fluid conducting channel, where the inner volume of the device provides sufficient space for accommodating water flow sensors, controlling means on the sensors and wireless communication means for communicating the water flow data to a remote control center. The device comprises fluid flow sensors for external monitoring of water flow in a fluid conducting channel, where each flow sensor comprises controller for controlling and supervising operation of the flow sensor; communication module for wirelessly communicating the signals from the water flow sensors to a remote control unit; and housing for accommodating the water flow sensors and communication module and protectively enveloping them against tampering, vandalism and sabotaging. |
