Hi Jones,

You need to investigate whether your existing meter is ready for AMR via your meter manufacturer. Ready for AMR means that the rotation of meter register/pointer will be able to be translated into pulses or digitized by a module mounted on top of it or plugged in near the register (if it’s a reed switch contact which now is rarely be used anymore).

 

The module mounted which is normally pulse generator can be later connected to data logger or smart analyzer devices and sent to cloud/server via network communication e.g. GSM-GPRS or 3G Network. It is also possible that the meter manufacturer provides a compact device where the mounted device can store data and has Radio Frequency communication module. The meter data can later be collected via mobile handheld or fized network.

 

Well, in conclusion, your meter needs to be AMR Ready first so they can be paired to AMR device later and Meter Remote Reading method can vary depending on the situation or particular needs of your environment.
