Algas Automatic Meter Reading (AMR)
The Algas Automatic Meter Reading (AMR) is powered by Solar Panel 10W Battery Charging and 9600 Boudrate GSM communication, where is boudrate for general equipment. Algas Automatic Meter Reading. This is a reliable and stable device. With its small dimensions it is practical and compact. The design of the Algas AMR was developed with a universal Electronic Volume Corrector and low power consumption at a wide range of boudrate can be change. The basic operation is very simple and software utilities have been prepared for more demanding work. The device is available in many versions.
The device is constantly being improved according to the latest findings and customer requirements. The manufacturer reserves the right to change certain functions without notice.
Technical Description
1. Basic characteristics of device
The Algas Automatic Meter Reading (AMR) proposed by PT. Algas Mitra sejati, is a real industrial solution for remote reading of devices, in area without PSTN (fixed phone network) and without main power network (230V).
The IP65 rated enclosure and the industrial operating temperature range (-10°C to +50°C), makes the GSM Box suitable for outdoor installation in field operation.
2. Description of functionality
The Algas Automatic Meter Reading (AMR) has been designed to connect the electronic devices installed in hazardous area to the GSM network for remote reading applications. The modem used is the Wavecom Fastrack Supreme Quad Band GSM 850/900/1800/1900 MHz GPRS/GPS Class 10 Modem. Batteries are included in the box to ensure operations, and under limited luminosity conditions (solar panel version).
The GSM modem can be used to send outbound alarm calls from the devices to a Supervision system. The volume corrector is sending the commands to the GSM modem, for connection to Software Supervise.
3. Technical data
The Algas Automatic Meter Reading (AMR) has a cast aluminum box rated IP 65, to ensure a high level of protection to the electronic boards from climatic conditions.
The operating temperature range of the Algas AMR (-10°C to +50°C) make it the ideal choice for real industrial remote reading applications.
