External Meter Interface

Interface for existing meters

The ZigBee-IR/LED meter serves as external ZigBee interface for electronic meters. It collects meter readings from existing meters already installed and sends data via ZigBee to appliances in the building.

This way, you can follow your energy consumption at an in-house display, at your computer, or at your mobile phone.

The meter unit can be used with different kinds of meters; power, water, gas, or heating. The ZigBee-IR/LED reader works with all meters regardless of manufacturer and brand. Data can be collected by an external gateway and stored in a data flash.

The integrated ZigBee module has extended RF performance (10 mW/10dBm) and is available as ZigBee Smart Energy 1.1 or as ZigBee Home Automation. The ZigBee profiles secures very high security in order to protect personal data and prevent hacking.

IR or LED 

The meter interface can be delivered with two probes:

• IR probe for two way communication with supported meters
• LED probe for interfacing to meters with blinking LED.

As an option, the meter interface can be delivered with a S0 interface.

The optical probe is attached either by magnets or by Velcro.

Battery lifetime is over two years with updates every five seconds.
