What Aspects Should Be Considered When Purchasing a Remote Power Meter Reading System

At present, the customer's demand for a remote power meter reading system is mainly to solve the problems of manual meter reading, difficult offline charging, inconvenient valve control of water and electricity meters, and other personalized needs. In addition to the necessary requirement of function, there are also price, data transmission stability, system operation, upgrade, maintenance, etc., which are all factors that customers should consider when purchasing a remote power meter reading system.

Features

The basic functions that the remote power meter reading system needs to have been being able to realize remote power meter reading, remote payment by mobile phone, and remote valve control. In addition to these three basic functions, customers have different requirements for the system in different usage scenarios. For example, some schools or factories have cost subsidies for students and employees, and the system needs to be able to achieve batch subsidies at the beginning of each month and batch clearing at the end of each month. In order to ensure the safety of students' electricity use, the school needs to have a vicious load identification function. When students use high-power electrical appliances in the dormitory, the system will give an early warning and automatically power off. What the shopping mall is most worried about is that a sudden power failure will bring a bad experience to customers, so the remote meter reading system needs to have an early warning of insufficient balance, remind merchants to pay electricity bills in time, etc. Therefore, before purchasing a remote meter reading system, according to your own needs, ask whether the system supports a certain function, whether it is an additional price, etc.

Price

This is naturally a necessary factor for customers to consider, and now the system price gap between companies in the market is relatively large. Some companies choose to buy smart power meters and give away a remote meter reading system for free. For a cloud platform such as a remote meter reading system, the basic functions are not much different, and the specific difference between different prices is reflected, and users can ask clearly before purchasing.

Data transmission stability

The main factors that affect the stability of data transmission are the load-bearing pressure of the system and the data volume of water and electricity meters connected to the system. Customers can judge the stability of the system by checking the data communication records of the system about the electricity meter and the cloud meter reading system to see their online and offline status.

System operation and upgrade maintenance

When purchasing a power meter reading system, consider whether it is easy to operate and easy to use. And see how the company's after-sales service of the system is, whether the problem can be solved in time and whether the function will be optimized and upgraded.
