| + | [* black] Our Elster Watthour Meter is labeled as Type R2S. The 2S model has an operating voltage rating of 240 V ranging from 192 V to 288 V at a nominal frequency of 60 Hz. |
| + | [* icon_note] Who would've thunk that your watthour meter would have a LAN ID? A LAN ID is required to connect to the IP-based [link|http://www.energyaxis.com/ea-home.asp|EnergyAxis] Smart Grid network. |
| + | [* black] Elster's Watthour Meters operate on 25 channels across the 902-928 MHz ISM band using a controlled path mesh. |
| + | [* icon_note] A "controlled mesh" network is created when the thousands of Watthour Meters in a city communicate with each other to relay power readings to a gateway device that indirectly channels the readings to a utility company. Elster's meters find the best path between themselves and other meters on the grid so that noise and duplication from repetitive signals is at a minimum. This works so well that only one in ten meters is used as a repeater to relay signals from other meters. |
| + | [* black] If a specific household has concerns about their device being used as a repeater, they can contact their utility company to request that their Elster is read just once a day. |
