Badger Meter R9120-5 Specifications

Wireless Modbus/Pulse Transceiver

ModHopper R9120-5

DESCRIPTION

The ModHopper R9120-5 is a breakthrough mesh technology design that makes connecting Modbus and pulse devices simple and cost effective. Our smart ModHopper transceivers eliminate the need for costly wiring runs, allowing users to capture meter data in the most challenging retrofit and campus environments. Collect meter points in existing buildings with minimum downtime or disruption of day-to-day operations.

Why Use ModHoppers for Wireless Metering

• Designed specifically for wireless metering

• 256 Bit AES, FIPS-197 certified, J/F-12 8306

• No software or programming required

• Devices automatically configure when powered

• Wireless mesh network self-healing, self-optimizing

• Frequency hopping, spread spectrum (FHSS)

• Connect up to 32 Modbus and 2 pulse devices per ModHopper (expandable)

• Long distance communication (3000 ft indoor/14 miles LOS)

• Visual display of signal strength (LEDs)

• Multiple independent network capability

• Reliable, constant two-way communication and packet verification

• Point to multi-point communication

• Field upgradable firmware

Wireless Communication

Badger Meter developed a wireless Modbus/Pulse transceiver to capture remote meter points. Our high-powered radios allow you to easily collect meter data from multiple buildings over long distances. Our unique mesh technology provides optimized routing of communications with no PC or software configuration, meaning the ModHopper works immediately “out of the box.” This self-managed mesh network means that the system functions with high reliability where other wireless systems fail due to short-term or long-term interference. ModHoppers can be used with any Modbus Master or gateway, making them an ideal solution for any project. Ask us about international frequency options.

Badger Meter's outstanding integration and software partners supplement our products and services so you receive the very best energy monitoring solution.

Compatibility

The ModHopper is compatible with virtually any PLC or Modbus RTU device, allowing customers the flexibility to use the ModHopper in existing Modbus applications. The ModHopper is a smart device that requires no programming. If used with the Badger Meter Model 3700, the ModHopper offers numerous diagnostic tools, including a graphical display of the wireless mesh network.

Applications

• Utility submetering (electric, gas, water and other services)

• Metering in existing buildings (retrofit)

• Metering on campus environments

• Government advanced metering projects (256 Bit AES, FIPS-197 certified, J/F-12 8306)

• Multi-tenant submetering projects

• Industrial/manufacturing facilities

• Demand response

• Renewable energy—PV projects (inverters, string monitoring)
