Description
Our EKM Meterings, translates the RS-485 signal from the meters to a signal that can be understood by your computer and our EKM Dash software. This is an inexpensive device that will work well if you are fine reading your meters. You can connect up to 256 meters on 4000 feet of twisted pair wire to this converter. This converter uses a chip that is manufactured by FTDI, which is much more robust, reliable, and easier to use than competing chips. The terminal blocks are tiny, you will need a very small flat head screwdriver to tighten them. This new model of USB Converter has a transparent case, which allows it to show a visual indication of successful meter reads. This is shown with a red blinking LED bulb, that flashes as successful reads are made. In order to use this converter please download and install the USB driver. Check out the Communication Diagram showing the USB converter connected to up to 256 meters. Works with all of our RS-485 smart meters including our v.2 smart meters and our v.3 Omnimeters and the new Omnimeter Pulse v.4 These are very easy to connect and wire up. Be sure that you have the FTDI USB Drivers installed. Connect a twisted pair wire from A+ on the USB converter to "RS-485 A" on up to 256 EKM Meters, connect B- to "RS485 B" on the same meters.
