Mega-Net Meter Transmission Unit (MTU)

www.kpelectronics.comMega-Net Meter Transmission Unit (MTU)Overview The Mega-Net Meter Transmission Unit (MTU) is the first of new breed of fixed base AMI products. Above grade, the KP MTU can transmit its data as far as 20 miles line of site, and 3 to 5 miles, in normal deployment. This long range is achieved by two key features of the KP products: (a) The KP system operates on a dedicated, licensed FCC frequency and, (b) The MTU transmits with two Watts of power. At two Watts, the KP MTU is the most powerful MTU from any AMI supplier in the US. The long range allows the KP product to be installed in locations previously unavailable to AMI technology.OperationThe MTU is designed to analyze meter usage and data recorded by the Encoder register and transmit it back to the utility in real time. KP’s MTU operates on a licensed frequency in the VHF 154-174 MHz or UHF 450-470 MHz bands, ensuring maximum reliability. The MTU suits all applications including Wall-mount/Pit options, Encoder/Digital Pulse, and single/dual/quad port configurations. The standard MTU is pre-programmed to deliver hourly and daily usage data, improving customer service and allowing the utility to better address consumption disputes, water conservation, and monitoring of water usage. When attached to a meter, the MTU monitors, identifies, and immediately notifies the utility of alarms such as continuous flow, no flow, leaks, tampering, and reverse flow. Readings and meter data are stored in the MCM software database for historical customer usage profile generation.
