The Optical Probe, Optical Head for meter reading and writing

All the heads of our optical probes communicate with the meters via infrared optical waves in the same way and are developed according to the standard IEC 62056-21 (formerly IEC1107:1996) and ANSI C12.18.

Which product or output signal (RS-232, RS-485, TTL, USB und Bluetooth) is suitable for you, depends mainly on the reading method and the readout device itself.

S0 Portable Scanning Head PC-100 for smart metering

PC 100 is a lightweight portable scanning head. It is designed for detecting LED flashing in electricity meters. It can detect typical colors of LED: Red, orange, yellow, green and infrared. A permanent ring magnet is built into the scanning head to be magnetically attached to the meter and test in the correct position in front of the light emitting diode. The output pulse rate could be divided to 10 or 100 via a user selectable push button. In addition a LED shows the state of output pulse division.

The Bluetooth optical probe for meter reading

Bluetooth optical probe (OP-700) is a 2-way optical interface compliant with IEC62056-21 international standard for data transmission with all types of IEC meters. Data transmission between meter and the probe is done via infra-red and data transmission between the probe and the reader device is via bluetooth.

The optical probe for meter reading with RS-485 signal

The optical probe for meter reading is an interface for a bidirectional data exchange between a meter such as power meter, gas meter, heat meter, water meter etc. and periphery device such as and a handheld via infrared optical waves.

The output of optical probe OP-400 is based on serial connection standard RS-485.

The Optical Probe for meter reading with TTL voltage level

The optical probe for meter reading is an interface for a bidirectional data exchange between a meter such as power meter, gas meter, heat meter, water meter etc. and periphery device such as and  a handheld via infrared optical waves.
