Reading electric meters is one of the easiest functions for the
SensorLink™ technology. A tag handles up to 13 sensors, but in the case
of the electrical meter, only one is used. If the meter is located near other meters,
or systems that need to be monitored, such as HVAC, the sensors can be short-wired
directly into the tag. Water, gas or virtually any sensor, can be monitored.
SensorLink™ tags are mini-computers, so they are capable of processing and
storing information, and can be programmed to configure and transmit sensor information
in any format required. Each pulse is time-stamped to a specific sensor and can be transmitted
constantly, or batched when required. Tags can be interfaced with virtually any existing
BAS management software.
When sub-metered, the data is uploaded into the local computer, and can then be assimilated
for demographics, used to create an invoice based on KWH consumption, and create a historical
record for future reference.

Once
SensorLink™ tags are attached to the electrical meters, data from the sensors
is transmitted to a central location wirelessly. In a mesh configuration, data is not sent
to a central hub to be sorted, stacked, and then sent to a location for configuration and
review.
Signals are either sent directly to the upload location, or from one tag to another
until it is uploaded into the local computer, where it can be reviewed by all with internet
access and a password. Using this system, there is no loss of signal due to a damaged hub,
or even electrical outage.
With an advanced antenna, and a long lasting battery, our tags are completely independent of
exterior energy supply, or transmission medium. When the battery wears out, it is simply replaced.
Tags can be run off local power supply if desired, with the battery used only during power outage.
Tags can also interface with cell or satellite infrastructures if such is needed.
Once
SensorLink™ tags are in place, you have the foundation for a wireless local area network (WLAN).
