Configuration
You can configure the EDC radio module (wM-Bus or LoRaWAN®, e.g. in the case of a retrofit, by illuminating the infrared interface or using the ZENNER IrCombiHead infrared opto head, the MinoConnect universal interface (USB or Bluetooth) and the MSS configuration software or the ZENNER Device Manager Basic app.
Smart Metering Functions
(Not all smart functions are available for all model-variants respectively activated ex-works)
- Self-monitoring
- Tampering detection
- Dismounting of module and meter detection
- Reverse water flow detection
- Leakage detection
- Meter Stop detection
- Meter oversized detection
- Meter undersized respectively pipe burst detection
Typical applications
- Wireless remote readout of water meters with walk-by or drive-by system
