Description

Beschreibung.Description.

Die in den Schutzansprüchen genannten Zählwerken werden nach dem Stand der Technik heute meist einmal im Jahr von Angestellten der Energieversorger abgelesen. Hier ist oft ein mehrmaliges Aufsuchen der einzelnen Haushalte nötig.According to the current state of technology, the meters mentioned in the protection claims are usually read once a year by employees of the energy suppliers. This often requires multiple visits to the individual households.

Durch die Vielzahl der Energieanbieter, gerade im Bereich Stromversorgung, hat sich das Problem gestellt, welches Unternehmen für das Ablesen der Zählwerke zuständig ist.Due to the large number of energy providers, especially in the electricity supply sector, the problem has arisen as to which company is responsible for reading the meters.

Mit der Installation eines elektronischen Femablesemoduls kann der Energielieferant von seiner Hauptverwaltung aus jederzeit die einzelnen Zählerstände der Energienehmer einlesen und abrechnen. Der Vorteil der Installation von Femablesemoduls ist, dass kein langwieriger Hausbesuch zum Ablesen der Zählerstände mehr nötig ist.By installing an electronic remote meter reading module, the energy supplier can read and bill the individual meter readings of energy consumers from its head office at any time. The advantage of installing a remote meter reading module is that a lengthy home visit to read the meter readings is no longer necessary.

Claims (1)

Elektronisches Ablesen von mechanischen Zählwerken wie Strom, Gaszähler und Wasseruhren.
Gleichzeitiges Abfragen des Zählerstandes über ein am Zählerwerkgehäuse angebrachten Scanner oder einer Fotolinse.
Das Abfragen des Zählerstandes erfolgt von der Hauptverwaltung des jeweiligen Energieanbieters über ein Fernablesemodul, welches auf Abfrage zur Datenerfassung und Weiterleitung per Telefonfestnetz und oder über Funkwellen im Hause des Engergienehmers installiert ist. Die Zählerstände werden im Computer der Hauptverwaltung registriert und an die Rechnungslegungs- Abteilung weitergeleitet. Electronic reading of mechanical meters such as electricity, gas and water meters.
Simultaneous query of the meter reading via a scanner or photo lens attached to the meter housing.
The meter reading is queried by the head office of the respective energy provider via a remote reading module, which is installed in the energy consumer's home to collect and forward data via landline telephone and/or radio waves. The meter readings are recorded in the head office's computer and forwarded to the accounting department.
