Page 3: Introduction
The iMeter collects pulses according to the frequency displayed by its configuration, and delivers the data to the AGBAR servers, where is collected and processed by AGBAR systems. This data is showed in the AGBAR AMR (Automatic Meter Reading) webpage. -
Page 4: Imeter Deployment
IMeter deployment The iMeter is installed on site, where the meter is placed. Before the installation it doesn’t need any process. The installer only need to know in which meter the iMeter is going to be installed to, in order to have a pulse captor appropriate for the brand and model of the water meter. The iMeter can be produced directly connected to the pulse captor, which makes easier and simpler the deployment process. - Page 5 pulse Type of pulse captor function captor iMeter brown brown Itron Cyble 2 wires Pulses (BF) white white brown brown Pulses (AF) grey white Itron Cyble 5 wires Direction yellow yellow Cable cut detection green green brown brown Sensus HRI-A1 Pulses (I1) white white...
