Abstract

A method is presented for remote meter reading that addresses upgrade needs for automatic periodical readout of meters lacking electrical output signals. The solution embodied in the invention is a self contained, fully enclosed, low energy solution with provisions for onsite visual meter inspections. It can be implemented in various applications, such as but not limited to, water meters, electricity meters, gas meters, tachometers, and other meters. Methods are incorporated that enables the user full control over the timing and rate of the data acquisition, and control over system performance and power consumption.
