How Much Does a Remote Power Meter Reading System Cost?
Now the demand for remote meter reading systems is increasing day by day, and users are most concerned about the price of remote meter reading, hoping to achieve intelligent power management at the lowest cost.
In fact, for different meter reading system solutions, because there are many ways to realize remote meter reading, the selected meter reading methods are different, the construction methods are different, and the price and cost of remote meter reading are also different. Here are some of the most cost-effective remote power meter reading solutions for your reference.
Remote power meter reading solution
The remote power meter reading solution consists of electricity meters, concentrators, and management software systems. This power meter reading method uses the most affordable 485 meters and needs to arrange the RS485 communication line. The installation cost is relatively low when the distance between the concentrator and the meter should not be too long.
Power carrier meter reading scheme
The carrier meter reading solution requires prepaid electricity meters, carrier collectors, carrier concentrators, and management software systems. This method only needs to arrange the line from the electric meter to the communication module and does not require long-distance communication lines. The communication module can communicate with the concentrator through the power line, and the meter adopts an RS485 electric meter, which can be directly shared the carrier communication module.
Wireless carrier meter reading solution
The wireless power meter reading solution consists of prepaid electricity meters, wireless collectors, wireless concentrators, and management software systems. In the scheme, an affordable RS485 meter is used, and there is no need for a built-in expensive communication module, and the micro-power wireless communication module can be shared. One communication module can support 32 electricity meters, which can greatly save the cost of communication wires, communication modules, and construction.
