xylem FLXI2102 FlexNet SmartPoint Module
The Sensus FlexNet™ SmartPoint® module provides wireless communication capability to electric utility meters. The Aclara i210+c™ meter is an electronic, single-phase or network, demand and time- of-use (TOU) electricity meter intended primarily for residential applications.
Technical Overview
- The FlexNet communications network offers a simple, reliable, and secure system that is economical for mass meter deployments, strategic deployments, and rural applications while providing a multi-application solution for all AMI end points.
- The FlexNet network enhances the i210+c meter by providing AMI capability.
- The FlexNet SmartPoint module is a printed circuit board that provides wireless communication capability to the Aclara i210+c electric meter. The SmartPoint module interrogates the meter registers on a programmable interval from five minutes to daily readings. The SmartPoint module then transmits the meter consumption and status information at regular intervals.
- The module mounts into the existing i210+c meter and acts as a “third party AMR board.” It is designed to mount mechanically into the meter with no additional mechanical modification required.
- The module communicates via the FlexNet fixed wireless telemetry network to provide electric meter readings and diagnostic data from the meter to the utility provider via radio.
- The module contains both a receiver and transmitter to allow for two-way communications over the FlexNet network.
