GWFCoder Technology and Applications

December 15th, 2010

Comparison of GWFCoder and pulse coding

GWFcoder® technology:

Transfers the effective meter reading. The readout value in the billing system and the invoice are the same as the meter reading.

Pulse transfer:

The potential sources of error for a reproduced meter reading with pulse transmission are:

  • Bouncing
  • Backflow water
  • Temporary signal interruption
  • Double pulses
  • Incorrect pulse value

The readout value in the billing system and the invoice may differ from the meter reading.

GWFCoder Applications

Wireless pit readoutWireless pit readout

Meter with GWFcoder® register, IEC interface and GWF radio module (type RCM-PI) is read out by radio using a mobile infrastructure.

GWF Read MobileGWFRead Mobile – Wall pad reading

Encoder meters with a wall pad can be read without entering the property by means of an inductive wall pad. The meter data is then automatically assigned to the customer. The meter readout device then transmits this data wireless via Bluetooth to the Mobile readout
device.

MBus Remote ReadingM-Bus remote reading

The meters with GWFcoder® registers and M-Bus interfaces are connected to an M-Bus remote reading system. This ensures that the meter data is transferred directly via an M-Bus data centre or level converter to a PC where the data is further processed.
