Concentrator
Central Unit

Athree-phase central unit for remote reading, processing and controlling up to 1,000 remote units, installed on Watt-hour meters, over the low voltage power lines.
Complete reports are transferred from the concentrator to the Central Computer, directly through telephone line and modem, GSM, or any other tele-signal-transmitting-means, or manually by a hand held microterminal.

Features:

  • Real time calculations and real time response.
  • Access to all units, typically every 15 minutes.
  • Accumulates, calculates and analyzes customer consumption according to time-of-use tariff table.
  • Includes also an additional future time-of-use table for long range planning.
  • An extensive Build In Test (BIT) procedure facilitates the maintenance of the unit.
  • Periodically - normally once a month - carries out a Self-Read (SR) of all connected units.
  • Saves up to 6 SR in a cyclic memory.
  • Supported with optional software application packages, such as:
    • Load control programs.
    • Prepayment schemes.
  • Indicates the electricity phase associated with every consumer.
