2 UNIVERSAL For all mechanical electricity, gas and water meters SIMPLE OCR-assisted install mechanism makes installation child s play PRECISE Real meter readings via camera and OCR FLEXIBLE Data transmission via wireless M-Bus or wired M-Bus/Modbus COMPATIBLE Approved for use with top-selling gateways and communication devices from:

3 DATA TRANSFER OVERVIEW Wireless M-Bus (868 MHz, OMS) Wired (Modbus, M-Bus, RS232, RS485) In-Home Display LAN Smart Metering Gateway TCP/IP GSM PLC Backend HOW IT WORKS EdaFastCam Our patented system consists of an optical sensor, a camera and an OCR algorithm that takes regular readings and transmits the resulting data wirelessly or via a wired network. The Data Logger software option enables users to log up to 10,000 meter readings in the device s built-in memory. APPLICATIONS EdaFastCam is the ideal solution for taking automated readings from domestic and indus- trial utility meters. Its compact dimensions make it easy to install in virtually all meter cabinets. EdaFastCam is suitable for use with Ferraris meters, diaphragm gas meters and most types of water meter. Custom adapters ensure compatibility with a wide range of different models. Ferraris meter diaphragm type gas meter water meter

Our foolproof system of LED arrows enable you to position the device precisely and built-in guides ensure that you position the device correctly before final mounting.

4 OVERVIEW ANY MECHANICAL METER CAN BE TRANSFORMED INTO A SMART METERING DEVICE IN THREE EASY STEPS INSTALLATION EdaFastCam requires no specialist knowledge to install and can be set up in three simple steps. The software can be configured from a PC interface via USB and our patented installation technology makes installing the device child s play. Our foolproof system of LED arrows enable you to position the device precisely and built-in guides ensure that you position the device correctly before final mounting. A mirror system ensures that the mechanical display can still be read once the EdaFastCam has been installed. Power is provided either via a built-in battery or an external power source. Assisted installation: Move up Assisted installation: Move to the right Assisted installation: OK CAPTURING METER READINGS The camera built into the sensor unit captures images of the mechanical meter display, and built-in LEDs ensure that readings can still be captured in low light. The patented OCR algorithm transforms the captured graphic into a numerical value with up to eight digits (including one decimal place). The device can be configured to capture readings at intervals from 1-60 minutes from a wide range of meters using a range of fonts. DATA TRANSFER Captured readings are transmitted automatically via Wireless M-Bus to a gateway where they can be processed using energy data management software. With the wired version of the system, additional readings can be made at any time using an appropriate command. RS 232 Communication M-Bus Communication USB Communication
