Emlite EMGSM1-MID Gas Bundle Single Phase 100A cw Modem and SIM Card

Emlite EMGSM1-MID Approved Single Phase 100A cw Modem and SIM Card and gas meter bundle

Designed specifically for the collection of micro-generation metering data, EMGSM1 provides remote collection of meter readings especially generation metering of wind, solar and any other renewable energy installations. The meter is of modular construction and allows a range of communication modules to be fitted to allow for future developments in remote metering.

The meter is a fully MID approved device and can provide functionality over and above that required for generation metering making it suitable for many other applications. Additional functionality includes Time-of-Use Rate Switching, Power Quality Recording, Active (kWh) and Reactive (kvarh) energy measurement across both import and export.

The overall solution has been designed to minimise installation time and reduce the need for return maintenance visits. An indication of the GSM signal strength is provided on the meter display and in the cases where a network resilient SIM is fitted, the number of available networks is provided. This single display allows the installer to leave site confident that the installation is fully operational with a robust communication link.

The SIM is installed ready for use thus saving time and effort on site. SIM exchange is simple via a holder fitted to the underside of the module. A simple Push-Push action inserts and removes the SIM. Sims are supplied using the O2, Vodafone and Orange/Tmobile networks for optimum coverage of all areas.

How do smart meters work via Meteronline?

Smart Meters can be read remotely via a  modem and sim card fitted within the meter . These meters are similar to a normal meter and can be fitted by an electrical contractor. The meters use the mobile phone network to communicate readings within encoded messages, MeterOnline decodes these secure messages and presents the meter readings to its customers. The smart meters are MID (Measurement Instruments Directive) compliant ensuring they are approved for billing and renewables generation purposes.  www.meteronline.co.uk

How does the system work?

The Gas meter requires an  RJ11 connector that plugs in to the Emlite Gas Sender. This then communicates with the EMGSM1 electricity meter via blue tooth. If you have an existing gas meters that  hasn’t got an RJ11 connecter but a pulse output, then using the pulse to RJ11 converter will make it compatible  https://www.jwsmartmeters.co.uk/shop/meter-accessories/pulse-to-rj11-converter/

Using the following solution, single phase check meter with Gas sender, the sender has an RJ11 connector that plugs in to various models of gas meter that have a pulse output socket.
