How Much Does It Cost To Install a Prepaid Remote Power Meter Reading System？
As a symbol of a city's financial circle, office buildings serve many corporate customers, especially high-end office buildings. The functions and power management requirements of remote meter reading systems are very strict. Therefore, when choosing an office building meter reading relationship system, we must keep our eyes open and choose a reliable R&D company.
If the electricity management in the office building is not in place, it is easy to cause some problems. Sometimes corporate clients don’t have time to pay bills at the property, or in the event of overtime and power outages, the property doesn’t go to work, and there is nowhere to go if they want to pay bills. Manual meter reading is time-consuming and labor-intensive. There are many corporate customers in an office building. Manual meter reading is very time-consuming and labor-intensive. It is easy to copy the meter data incorrectly, and the calculation is also prone to miscalculation. Customers also need to compare the data for a long time, because of their own mistakes, they are afraid of causing unnecessary losses to customers.
Therefore, each office building needs a complete remote meter reading system. The cloud meter reading office building meter reading management system has remote meter reading, automatic settlement, time-of-use billing, arrears reminder, abnormal alarm, data query, remote control valve, etc. Various smart functions. The property can easily grasp the electricity consumption through computers and mobile phones. A series of work is completely automated and completed intelligently, and the data in the meter is directly uploaded to the management system through the transmission medium. The management system then generates data reports through data analysis, and customers can query data by entering their name or meter number, which is very convenient.
So what is the price of installing a prepaid remote meter reading system? It depends on what meter reading scheme you choose. Office buildings generally use centralized meter reading. For centralized meter reading, RS485 meter reading scheme and carrier wave meter reading scheme are generally used.
RS485 meter reading solution price
The RS-485 meter reading solution should be the most cost-saving meter reading solution. The meters are basically equipped with an RS485 communication port. So there is no need for expensive modules. Let's take 200 meters as an example to settle the cost for everyone. One single-phase simple active meter is 115, one concentrator is $168, and one concentrator can connect 256 meters. , but this is the ideal state, mainly depends on the site to see how many concentrators need to be equipped, in the ideal state, only 21 US dollars a unit.
Power carrier plan price
The power carrier centralized meter reading system is a meter reading method that power companies have been using. Therefore, its stability is unquestionable, and the power carrier meter reading scheme is based on the use of smart meters. The smart meter also needs to be equipped with a carrier module, so the cost of the meter is higher than that of the RS485 meter reading solution. However, power carrier meter reading does not require wiring and relies on power to transmit data. Therefore, the on-site construction is much simpler. The cost calculation is that a carrier smart meter costs about $35, a carrier concentrator costs $290, and a unit costs about $37.
