These standards have enabled E350’s interoperability with the SSN (RF Mesh), Gridstream (RF Mesh) andWiMAX (4G) modules. ANSI C12.18/12.21 – ANSI standards that describe protocols used for two-way communications between meter and module.ANSI C12.19 – ANSI standard for extracting and organising meter data in a specific format.This allows replacement to be carried by unskilled labour instead of skilled technicians reducing re-installation costs.Ĭommunications modules from new AMI solution vendors can be interfaced easily.Į350 supports the key ANSI (American National Standards Institute) communication standards chosen by leading module manufacturers.
When the time comes to replace the communications module this can be done without disconnecting customer supply.Ĭommunications module can be replaced without breaking main terminal cover seals. With rapid changes in communication technology it is very likely that the meter life will be cut short if the communications module is integrated with the meter.Į350’s patented modular design is unique in that it allows the existing communications module to be replaced with a new module without the need to replace the meter.
