User manual
LoRaWAN Pulse Counter Vega SI-13 is used for reading of
values from metering instruments, such as water-, electricity
and heat meters via RS-485 and RS-232 interfaces or via
pulse inputs and further transmitting of this data to
LoRaWAN network.
Vega SI-13 can be used as a security by sending alarm signal
in case a specific contact pair is closed.
