The application of rf module RF4463Pro: Gas Meter Reading

Below is the application and advantage for G-NiceRF rf module RF4463Pro in the gas meter reading.

Wireless remote gas meter reading system include base part of the meter, microcontroller system, pulse collection system, rf modules.

Below is the introduction on how it work with rf module RF4463Pro.

Usually the gas meter reading system has working mode and sleeping mode. Most of the time the gas meter is sleeping to save battery life. When user is using the gas, it will trigger the pulse output. The input pulse will wake up the microcontroller, then the microcontroller will count the pulse and calculate the gas used. It will sleep after that. Besides the input pulse will wake up the microcontroller, the time will wake up the system. Usually the gas meter can be set to wake up at some time interval, for example, 12 hours or 24 hours. This wake up time can be done by rf module RF4463Pro, it has built in 32768 oscillator. This will reduce the resource of microcontroller, no need to find a MCU with 32768 oscillator. When wake up at setting time, gas meters will upload the value of gas meter via rf module RF4463Pro. The receiver will identify the value and address of the gas meter, and then send to the server. Usually the gas meter will also upload the battery level,  temperature and others to the receiver and then to the server. Then server will know how is the value of gas and working condition remotely.

By this method, it save much person resource, almost all the job can be done in the server. And the accuracy can be better than person.

The advantage of using rf module RF4463Pro in the gas meter reading:

1. RF4463PRO adopt chip of Si4463 version c2, it is highly integrated transceiver used in the ISM band.

2. Support 433/490/868/915MHz ( customized 142~1050MHz)

3. Sensitivity: -126dBm, output power : 20dBm

4. Rx current: 10mA

5. RF module RF4463Pro: Small size

6. Wireless communication range up to 2000m

7. Pre-certification for CE, FCC ID, ICID, and no problem for other certification. This save much time and cost of the development, and guarantee the products to meet the market requirement.

8. Built high precision 32.768KHz oscillator, save the resource of MCU.
