‘Drive-by’ RF ensures twice, if not more reads per day than walk-by RF, resulting in a more economical solution for reading and billing. Transmission of meter data is possible at driving speeds of approximately 30 miles per hour (50 kph).
Utilising a similar meter and transmitter installation set-up as with walk-by, the drive-by solution incorporates a more powerful vehicle-based data collection receiver.
The compact and lightweight USB receiver attaches to most existing hand held computers, or can be installed on dedicated laptops.
The USB connection powers the USB device from the computer, thus ensuring that no additional power supply is required. The sophisticated software includes route management programs, which allows pre-determined meters to be read that day, by creating a route for the RF receiver vehicle to follow.
