External Meter Interface
–
ZHEMI-101
The ZigBee HA meter serves as external ZigBee interface for electronic meters. It collects meter readings from
existing meters already installed and sends data via ZigBee to appliances in the building. This way, you can follow
your energy consumption at an in-house display, at your computer, or at your mobile phone. The meter unit can
be used with different kinds of meters; power, water, gas, or heating. The ZigBee External Meter Interface works
with all meters regardless of manufacturer and brand. The data can be collected by an external gateway and
stored in a data flash.
The integrated ZigBee module has extended RF performance (10 mW/10dBm) and is available as ZigBee Home
Automation. The ZigBee profile secures very high security in order to protect personal data and prevent hacking.
The meter interface can be delivered with two probes:
•
IR probe for two way communication with supported meters.
•
LED probe for interfacing to meters with blinking LED.
•
As an option, the meter interface can be delivered with a S0 interface or pulse probe counting for a reed
contact.
The optical probe is attached either by magnets or by Velcro.
Battery lifetime is over two years with updates every five seconds.
