Business benefits of using Comet Meter Readers

Xemtec’s Comet Meter Reader offers you the most cost-effective route to a smart metering system, because you keep your existing, tried and tested meters in place. And the solution is easy to integrate into existing infrastructure thanks to the Xemtec universal ‘optical’ interface.

Fast, secure and reliable mounting

• Comet Meter Readers are ready-to-run: An easy-to-use installation tool on a pocket computer adapts the readers to a variety of meters: no time-consuming on-site programming is needed, no wiring required. Conversion and adaptation using a PDA take about 5 minutes. Once the Comet Meter reader is snapped onto the meter it will automatically read the consumption, store the readings at defined intervals if necessary, and transmit them wireline or wireless to the utility network.

What makes Comet different?

• Xemtec’s unique OCR Retina Technology makes Comet the only solution that can be installed as simply and reliably, without disturbing existing infrastructure. No meter disconnection is needed, and the meter can still be read by eyeball. What is more, Comet helps utility companies stay energy efficient because of the system’s extremely low power consumption and low maintenance demands. Xemtec’s products have been approved by the UK’s Carbon Trust.

Installation is so easy

• Just snap the installation-ready Xemtec Comet Meter Reader onto any electricity, gas or water meter, and you have a smart communicating device offering a variety of system interfaces (e.g. low-power RF, GSM/GPRS, M-Bus).
