QUICK GUIDE
FlexNet® SmartPoint® Module
for Aclara kV2c
Quick Guide
The Sensus FlexNet™ SmartPoint® module provides
wireless communication capability to electric utility meters.
The Aclara kV2c commercial and industrial meter provides
reliable and accurate revenue metering combined with
advanced real-time instrumentation, true power quality
monitoring and real cost of service measurements.
Technical Overview
The FlexNet communications network offers a simple, reliable, and
secure system that is economical for mass meter deployments, strategic
deployments, and rural applications while providing a multi-application
solution for all AMI end points. The FlexNet network enhances the kV2c
meter by providing AMI capability.
The FlexNet SmartPoint module is a printed circuit board which provides
wireless communication capability to the Aclara kV2c electric meter. The
SmartPoint module interrogates the meter registers on a programmable
interval from five minutes to daily readings. The SmartPoint module
then transmits the meter consumption and status information at regular
intervals.
The module mounts into the existing kV2c meter and acts as a “third
party AMR board.” It is designed to mount mechanically into the meter
with no additional mechanical modification required.
The module communicates via the FlexNet fixed wireless telemetry
network to provide electric meter readings and diagnostic data from the
meter to the utility provider via radio.
The module contains both a receiver and transmitter to allow for two-way
communications over the FlexNet network.
