SYSTEM OVERVIEW

The Walk By AMR (Automatic Meter Read)System, provides the utility with the ability to read a meter without entering the home.

Based on standard 865 MHZ Mbus radio technology, the Walk By AMR solution gives the energy supplier fast, reliable meter

readings.

This data can be used by the energy supplier to provide accurate upto date billing, removing the need for estimated readings on

the occasions when access to the meter is not available.

The Walk By AMR can be retrofitted to any Zenner water meter, allowing the meter owner the possibility to implement AMR at a

point in time after the meter has been installed.

By utilizing up to date RF technology the transmission distances are long. This usually determines that the meter reader can

read whole apartment blocks without the need to enter the building. The data can be downloaded from the Walk By AMR into a

Hand Held Terminal or any Android phone. Once the reads have been made the meter reader receives a confirmation message

and can move on to the next site.

Alarms will also be sent to the HHT / Mobile Phone in the event of a Walk By AMR AMR having a low battery, or if a tamper is

thought to have taken place. Once that data is received it can then be transmitted to the Cloud Data base via GPRS or GSM

removing the need for the meter reader having to return to the office. Having reached the Cloud data base the energy utility now

has the option to use the operating software to produce bills, send customer SMS's, Customer e mails, and generally manage

their customer data base.

The meter AMR is fitted onto the meter. It counts the pulses generated by the last index wheel and translates this into the index reading. At a pre-determined interval (usually every 2 minutes) the Walk By AMR will attempt to transmit the current Index value to the remote meter reading devise. Along with the index reading, the meter serial number and any generated alarms will be transmitted.

The HHT/ Android Mobile Phone

There are two possibilities for reading the data from the WalkBY meter AMR:

- Hand Held Terminal

- Android Phone

Both devises are battery powered and can store around 8 hours of charge. The range ability of the devises typically 300 meters at Line Of Site,

Data storage varies according to type, but it is usually in the range of 10,000 meter reads.

Having read the meter, the data can be sent to the central control room via GPRS/GSM or Wi-Fi with local net connectivity.

Typically it will take 5 minutes to read a 96 meter apartment block.

The Cloud computing service for The Operating System(OS), utilizes internet technology, allowing users to instantaneously access data via PC Terminal, smart phone, or tab.

The OS application software is installed on the server.

The energy supplier selects the parameters from the OS that he wishes to use, designing his application around his own requirements. The packages available cover the complete range of functionality from entering a new customer all the way through to producing the bill.

Access to the database is controlled via a security user name and password. There are five levels of security available, each has different limits as to what data can be viewed or changed.
