Remote Data Collection
Trade Meter Supplies Ltd are specialists at remote data collection & Fiscal Billing
Systems. We are able to implement Kamstrup’s highly developed technologies in to
many varied applications.
Wireless M-Bus
In its simplest form, a Wireless M-Bus System consists of a MULTICAL® 402 meter
with a Wireless M-Bus Module, a Wireless M-Bus Reader and a PC program for configuration
and reading. Each meter is automatically created in the PC program by means of the
enclosed meter file, and an installation address is entered, if any.
If the system in question includes many meters or more than one Wireless M-Bus Reader
is used, the meters can be grouped and linked to a specific Wireless M-Bus Reader.
The meter list is transferred to the Wireless M-Bus Reader when it is connected
to the PC, or wirelessly when it is connected to a USB power supply.
The power supply can be a Kamstrup Power Pack or a different type of USB power supply.
If more than one Wireless M-Bus Reader is used, it will be an advantage to have
one Wireless M-Bus Reader permanently mounted in the PC. In this way, meter lists
and reading data will be wirelessly exchanged between each Wireless M-Bus Reader
and the PC program. The wireless data exchange is carried out fast and automatically.
In order to save power, the Wireless M-Bus Reader has a built-in movement sensor,
which switches it off automatically when not in motion, or when all meters have
been read.

Network (expandable). The network can have up to 10,000m of data cable. The configuring
