1 Product Description
This section provides a general description of the E-Coder)R900 i register (subse-
quently referred to E-Coder)R900 i ). The E-Coder)R900 i by Neptune is an inte-
grated register that contains both the E-Coder and R900 technologies in one
register that collects meter reading data. It then transmits the data for collection by
the meter reader. A walk-by handheld, mobile unit, or fixed network receives the
data and stores it to be downloaded into the utility billing system for processing.
The E-Coder)R900 i is easily installed and operates within an RF band which does
not require an operating license. The E-Coder)R900 i meets FCC regulations part
15.247, allowing higher output power and greater range. The E-Coder)R900 i uses
frequency-hopping spread spectrum technology to avoid RF interference and
enhance security. The transmitted data is updated at 15 minute intervals and is
transmitted every 14 seconds. A unique 10-digit MIU ID is included in the transmis-
sion of data. This allows the meter to be read by a walk-by handheld, mobile or
fixed network data collection units. The E-Coder)R900
i is designed to offer advan-
tages to utility organizations of all sizes:
• Increases meter reading accuracy
• Eliminates "hard to read" meters
• Protects utility liability by increasing meter reader safety
• Requires no external wiring or programming
• Provides enhanced 8-digit AMR meter reading
• Provides proactive customer service benefits (leak, tamper and backflow
detection)
