Gas Monitoring
Goal: Measure gas usage. Have all data stored in a database.
How: Connect the RFXCOM Pulse module with Optical Sensor Cable to my RFXMeter. The data will be processed and stored in a database by the RFXCOM plugin.
The RFXMeter will ‘measure’ the reflective surface that is visible when your gas meter hits the “6”.
Cost: If you have an RFXMeter with an empty slot:
- RFXPulse module (70090 €26)
- RFXCom Reflective Optical sensor (70091 €15)
If you do not have an RFX Meter yet:
- RFXCom RFXMeter (70095 €104 (which includes the RFXPulse module!)
- RFXCom Reflective Optical sensor (70091 €15)
Instructions:
- Install RFXPulse module in your RFXMeter.
- Connect the Reflective Optical cable
- Use a laptop and the RFXReceiver application to see if the information is received correctly. Turn on something that uses gas so it will send out pulses.
- Mount the Reflective Optical cable to your gas meter
- Added pulse device in HS RFXCom plugin
- Gas monitoring is now working!
