The DW 3300 ZB is an independent industrial wireless network endpoint used for collecting and forwarding data from utility meters.

The device is completely autonomous.

The use of ZigBee technology means that communication is wireless and power consumption is so low that the internal batteries will last for more than 5 years.

Operation

Once installed on the standard gas meter the device logs into the central DIWICON-U system, from which it receives its unique configuration parameters.  Based on the configuration, the device then constantly monitors the consumption as measured by the meter and transmits that data to the central database.  Monitoring of the gas meters is practically continuous, so the system is fully suited to the strict requirements of the liberalized market.  The hourly and daily peaks and consumption habits can be analyzed to produce trends and prognostic evaluations.  The household gas consumer usage can now be integrated into the central Gas Management Systems of modern distributors.

Characteristics

• Autonomous operation, without wire and external power

• High Automatic connection to the self-organized network

• Direct connection to the utility meter

• 2 + 4 configurable digital inputs

• Optional external power supply connection
