The system is mainly characterized by being capable of establishing two-way communication with the installed meters using a Power Line Carrier (PLC) technique. A main unit, installed at the distribution transformers, manages this communication channel to the customers meters and can transfer collected data to the server unit by the means of any transmission technique whether GMS, GPRS, PSTN, etc.

The system main functions are:
  • Scheduled automatic monthly readings of all meters.
  • Daily collection of meter indices and corresponding reading date and time.
  • Real time meter reading for the purpose of consumption monitoring.
  • Meter status indication.
  • Meter remote management and parameterization functions.
  • Meter electric parameters collection primarily positive active/reactive energies, peak power demand, instantaneous KW / KVAR demand, voltage, current, frequency, power factor, etc…
