Thanks to the
new range of electronic indexes and the field proven Absolute-Encoder technology Elster can offer a wide range of meter data reading solutions. The functional characteristics and the higher-level system have an effect on how well and how efficiently battery-operated devices can be read. In this context Elster meters are suitable for operation in different system environments and additionally, for meters that communicate via WAN, an efficient and easy-to-integrate Meter Data Collection system for data acquisition, data processing and if necessary, transfer to advanced processing systems, is available.
The modular concept of our solutions allows for a large variety of connection options for different types of communications technology. Current standards, such as GSM/GPRS, M-Bus and ZigBee, have been taken into account here. Simple commissioning due to delivery of individually ready-configured indexes reduces installation work to an absolute minimum. The implementation of security mechanisms ensures as high a level of data security as possible.
