The Flash’O counts and remotely reads the number of light pulses emitted by any type of electronic meter: water, gas, electricity, energy. It turns existing meters into smart meters via the SigFox™ network.
The SIGFOX® Flash’O from nke Watteco. is a long range, low power consumption, high performance and high quality sensor. It operates with any commercial electronic meter products equipped with a blinking LED and provides connection to the SIGFOX® wireless
network.
Flash’O counts and accumulates the number of LED flashes that occurred since it has been commissioned.
Based on the Impulsions per kWh or Wh indicated on the meter, the energy and power consumption can be computed.
The optical probe is easily attached either by magnets or by velcro. Cable-length is
approximately 0.5m.
The accumulated number of flashes can be locally stored, concatenated and compressed. This unique batch mechanism significantly reduce the amount of data transmission for demanding applications such as load curve and drastically increase the autonomy.
