CellReader® Meter Modules

Trilliant CellReader^® meter modules retrofit under-glass into ANSI C&I power meters, offering packet-based digital cellular communications for the following meters:

• GE’s kV2c+ meter
• Itron’s SENTINEL meter
• Elster’s A3 meter

CellReader communication modules are truly plug-n-play, employing the ANSI C12 open standards to support data access and communications to the C12.19 data tables within the meter through the module and the TCP/IP connectivity provided by the cellular network.  The CellReader module supports all three levels of the meter’s ANSI password security in addition to the security provided by use of VPN access and the WAN Access Control List.

With a CellReader module, a utility can use its existing operational assets such as Itron’s MV-90xi or Trilliant’s Unity Suite Head-End Software without requiring any additional software, as well as native meter tools such as:

• Itron PC Pro+ Advanced
• GE MeterMate
• Elster MeterCat

CellReader-equipped meters can be used to create a new AMI deployment of C&I meters, to extend the coverage of existing AMI or Smart Grid networks to C&I meters that may not otherwise be reachable, to conduct specific load research projects, or to replace meters previously supported over analog cellular services or telephone lines.  Easy to install, with no external power supply or batteries, CellReader modules provide a cost-effective way to remotely access load profile, register, and diagnostic meter data.

CellReader modules can be easily retrofitted into your existing meter inventory, or fully integrated CellReader equipped meters can be ordered direct from the meter manufacturers.
