Meters couldbe in any combination of electric, gas and/or water with Pulse, RS-232 or M-Bus outputs. Abackup battery lasting up to seven years ensures data and operational integrity including lastgasp message so critically important for outage management.As a node on the patented n-Dimensional mesh network, the n-DNet™ Hub communicatessimultaneously in parallel over RF and PLC there by guaranteeing continuous reliable two-way communications at the highest cost efficiency. System tempering detection, parameterdriven abnormal consumption and remote service connect/disconnect are among the smartn-DNet™ Hub unique features.
