Utilising radio technology, meter readings can be retrieved significantly faster, and all with the need for very few components. Each meter is connected to a RF transmitter using either 168, 434, 896 or 915Mhz frequencies, which sends metering information wirelessly to a hand held receiver.
The Hand Held Unit suggested is the Windows CE version of the Psion Walkabout, but it is compatible with a number of the industry’s leading hand held data capture terminals and AMR software packages.
The transmitter is of a ‘sealed for life’ construction and can be used in above or below ground applications with minimal change to the operating range.
