AMI Modem Automatic Meter Reader GSM/GPRS

Description

AUTOMATIC METER READER

MR Modem Series based on GSM/GPRS communication technology. ARG 45 is the latest of its AMR Modem Series based on GSM/GPRS communication technology and also has built-in intelligence. ARG 45 is a compact. It also rugged unit mainly designed to read data from energy meters. However unit installed at remote sites of Sub-Station Feeders, HT/LT Consumers, Boundary Points, Distribution Transformers, Solar, Wind Farm, etc.

ARG-45 can automatically detect various energy meters and also read their data at configurable time intervals and schedule.

ARG 45 can push and pull type of data transfer. The method can support meters with protocols like PACT, IEC, ANSI, DLMS/COSEM, etc.

With its Dual SIM option, it provides continuous connectivity to network. ARG-45 is indigenously designed & developed by AMI Tech. They are Leading Indian AMR Manufacturer.
