What kinds of seals for meters are more prevalent today?
A definitive answer to the question ‘which security seals are better’ is not possible. It all depends on where the seal will be placed and on what kind of asset. When a salesperson is asked to find the most efficient and appropriate solution, this is what they start with.
Anti-magnetic seals, also known as tamper evident seals, are primarily attached to the flat surfaces of metering equipment for electricity, water, and other utility services. Meters are protected from wilful manipulation with them.
Polyethylene seals are suitable for utilization in humid conditions and extend the longevity of the marking.
Security seal styles
All seals made by CLIXAR have a number on them. The only exemptions are lead ones. Seals with numbers are used to protect different assets. Simultaneously, they exhibit exceptional efficacy when there is a requirement for rigorous inventory control.
What distinguishes the numbered seal is its unique code that is replicated on its various components. It is impossible to replace or copy numbered seals because they are developed to be used once.
Tamper seal stickers from CLIXAR are available in three distinct styles:
Magnet, Barrier, and Barrier N. The high-quality adhesive coating utilized in the tamper evident stickers keeps them impervious to drastic temperature variations. There are two types of them: ones that leave marks on the surface when they are taken off and others that don’t. It’s not possible to conceal this event, even if an unauthorized person decides to short-term remove them from the object.
The void sticker label Magnet is a seal that can’t be broken because it has a responsive capsule when a magnet is utilized, special numbers, and is secured against being taken away for a short time. Supervisory organizations install a protective indicative device on the equipment to deter fraud, which is possible if a magnet is applied. An anti-magnetic tamper resistant label is installed on the gas, electricity, water meters, etc.
CLIXAR offers three types of rotary or twist seals: tamper-evident security seals Lumiseal, Turbion, and Twisteiro. Twist seals are utilized on objects that feature apertures. Electric meters, gas meters, water meters, fire extinguishers, offices, warehouses, containers, safes, and ATM elements are to be equipped with them. You can set up a twist seal on the vehicle to control fuel use. Cash & valuables in transit companies employ twist seals to secure transportation of currency, valuables, and sensitive documents. The rotary safety seal on the container effectively shields the contents until they reach their destination.
CLIXAR Garant and Carat anchor security seals contain two distinct components. Their components build a lock that secures the sealing wire rope. Typically, anchor type seals are installed on water, light, and gas and other metering devices, power/distribution transformer substations, and facilities of warehousing and public service providers. Meters equipped with twist seals are provided with security and unparalleled protection against counterfeiting due to the seal locking mechanism.
Seals proper for water meters. Anti-magnetic seals are regarded as the most efficient seals for water meters. It’s because they aid in not only identifying, but also in safeguarding against rip-offs by the consumer. On metering devices in tandem with anti-magnetic seals are mounted plastic numbered seals, twist numbered seals, and anchor type seals. These seals, among other functions, act as a locking device.
Seals proper for electric meters. Plastic security seals, such as anchor type seals, twist seals, and others, are utilized to seal these metering equipment. Many consumers are still trying to circumvent modern devices with a magnet, even though it is difficult. As a result, examiners apply additional CLIXAR anti-magnetic tamper resistant labels against magnetic fields to the meter.
Plastic, rotary, or anti-magnetic security seals solutions are available for gas meters. The latter is regarded as one of the most dependable indicators of manipulation with metering devices.
