Residential · AMF20

Single-phase meter

The first smart meter with long-range radio communication.

Bidirectional, Class 1 and with a 60 A disconnect relay. It installs like a conventional meter and communicates over the Mesh network, with no SIM card or cellular signal.

How it measures

A standalone instrument, always connected

The meter works on its own, as certification requires, and also reports everything to the platform. If it loses communication, the data stays stored.

Measures every 2 seconds

Continuous sampling of voltage, current and power.

Logs every 5 minutes

Stores the interval measurement with maximum voltage, minimum voltage and maximum current.

Stores 90 days

The complete load profile stays in internal memory, even without communication.

Sends over the Mesh network

Data reaches CLOUD AMIAR through other meters and the gateway.

Features

Much more than a reading

Combines metering of imported and exported, active and reactive energy, with a design that protects the meter and its communications against fraud.

AMIAR single-phase meter installed
  • Four-quadrant bidirectional meteringEnergy consumed and generated: ready for customers with solar panels.
  • Complete electrical variablesActive, reactive and apparent power; voltage, current, frequency and power factor, instantaneous and historical.
  • Remote disconnect and reconnectInternal relay up to 60 A, with no external contactors.
  • Fraud detectionAlarm on cover opening and device tampering.
  • Last gaspA supercapacitor gives it enough autonomy to report that it has lost power.
  • Event log and audit trailEverything is recorded in the meter and on the platform.
  • Display fixed on active energyThe value that matters is always on screen: prevents reading errors.
  • Local readingIrDA optical port with DLMS protocol and active and reactive energy LEDs.

Versions

Urban or rural, the same meter

The difference is the antenna. In a rural network, fitting an outdoor antenna on the first meters is enough: they provide coverage to the rest.

Internal antenna

Urban version

Integrated PCB antenna. The meter is installed inside the meter pillar or meter box.

  • 300 to 700 m between meters in the city
  • Up to 400 m in dense indoor environments

Outdoor antenna

Rural version

Antenna with a 5 m cable routed through the service entrance conduit up to the weatherhead or the pole.

  • Conservative planning: 6 km per hop
  • Up to 10 km line of sight

From the pilot onward

Where to install it first

Since range doesn't limit location, each pilot meter can go wherever it saves the most.

New customers

Instead of the conventional meter that was going to be installed anyway.

Meters due for replacement

Taking advantage of the current device reaching end of life.

Disconnections for non-payment

Next time, disconnection and reconnection are done from the platform.

Hard-to-reach customers

Saves the trip for every monthly reading.

Disconnection notices

Interruptions of just a few minutes, with no conflicts with life-support customers.

Points to monitor

Real-time network monitoring for faults.
