FA-20, Brief about 

 
Use:

 Data logger with GSM/GPRS modem. 

 

FA-20 is our 5. generation of GSM/GPRS/SMS based remote metering 
units, created for reading and logging data from heat, electricity, water 
and  gas  meters.  In  a  new  way  combines  easy  installation  ,  fast  data 
transmission  with  the  main  database  system(s),  direct  serial 
communication  with  a  large  number  of  meters  –  besides  of  course 
pulse capturing  from pulse based meters and flexible data logging. 

 
Description: 

 

FA-20  is  a  complete  unit;  which  is  consisting  of  a  quad-band 
GSM/GPRS  modem,  data  logger,  2  M-bus  ports,  1  flexible  meter 
interface  (supporting  both  M-BUS  and  a  long  line  of  manufacture 
defined interfaces), 2 inputs for S01 pulses, power supply and antenna.  

 

Collecting of data, setting up parameters and even software update is 
done through the integrated Quad-band GSM/GPRS-modem, allowing 
data to be transferred through GPRS, V110 and SMS. Data logging is 
done  with  respect  to  the  EDIEL-standard  including  EDIEL  marking  of 
data. Logging of serial data and pulses can be freely mixed. 
 
FA-20  is  delivered  preprogrammed  with  a  number  of  serial  meter 
drivers,  supporting  different  serial  manufacturer  protocols.  Changing 
between  the  drivers  is  easily  done  trough  SMS,  and  just  by  using  a 
mobile  phone,  the  installer  verify  the  communication  between  the 
meters and FA-20 

WITHOUT 

help from personnel at the IT center. 

 
FA-20 contains a unique M-bus driver (Max M-bus), which can read M-
bus  based  meters  directly  (“plug  and  play”) 

WITHOUT 

the  need  of 

encoding any information into the FA-20 at all. 

 

Option

FA-20  offers  the  possibility  of  mounting  an  internal  option 

module. It can for example contain 2 analogue inputs (0(4)) to 20mA), 
2  relay  outputs  and  4  inputs  (pulse  inputs  after  S01  norm  or  digital 
on/off  input).  Other  types  of  option  modules  are  under  development 
(including wireless communication modules).
