1. Description
AMR/AMI communication module for
water meters
The EDC module (Electronic Data Capture)
for non reactive electronic pulse detection of
all ZENNER water meters whose registers are
equipped with modulator disc is ideally suited for
secure remote reading and integration of water
meters in Smart- Metering AMR/AMI Systems.
Typical applications:
Wireless remote readout of water meters with
■
walk-by or drive-by system
Wireless remote readout via LPWA-networks
■
(LoRaWAN™, SIGFOX)
Radio transmission of the readings to mobile
■
or stationary receivers
Remote reading of the meters via M-Bus
■
systems
Remote reading via GSM module
■
Accurate dosing of fluids in the industrial and
■
commercial segment
Information of the flow volume and consump-
■
tion e.g. by the means of a pulse couting
module or measuremet transducer
The EDC communication module ensures that in
case of remote transmission of the readings, the
current status always will be transmitted. There
is no replica of the meter index due to pulse
counting. The pulse detection of the register's
modulator disc occurs electronically and with-
out retroaction on the register. The electronics
detects reverse pulses which will be computed
internally, so that by means of the EDC module
always the current status of the roller counter will
be transmitted and read remotely.
The EDC-module is available in five different
versions:
RADIO: wireless M-Bus radio module according
■
to OMS-Standard (868 MHz), EN 13757-4
LPWAN-Radio module (LoRaWAN™,
■
SIGFOX)
M-Bus: wired M-Bus-module, EN 13757-3
■
Pulse module: pulse module with forward and
■
reverse detection
M-Bus/Pulse combined M-Bus and pulse
■
module
The EDC modules are each powered from a
battery, which –depending of the version- has a
lifetime of up to 15 years.
Scope of delivery
EDC communication module with installation
notice, fixing screw (s), yellow adhesive securing
mark (s) and water meter lid.
