Advantages of IoT gas meters

IoT gas meters not only provide basic gas metering functions, but also incorporate many advanced technologies and smart features, bringing users a safer and more convenient experience. Today, let's discuss the features of IoT gas meters that you may not know.

1. Power failure data storage and recovery

IoT gas meter has power failure data storage function, which means that even if the gas meter is in the case of power failure, its internal data will not be lost. When the power is restored, the data of the gas meter will be restored to the state before the power failure, which ensures the accuracy and continuity of measurement.

2. power failure valve shut-off function

In order to ensure safety, IOT gas meter also has the function of power failure shut-off valve. When the gas meter is powered by replaceable batteries, once the battery power is insufficient to cause the gas meter to lose power, the gas meter will automatically close the valve to prevent gas leakage and other potential safety hazards.

3. Power under-voltage protection

IOT gas meter also has the function of power supply under-voltage protection. When the working voltage of the gas meter drops to the designed under-voltage value, the gas meter will send out a prompt signal to remind the user to replace the battery or carry out other processing in time. If the power supply voltage continues to drop to the designed minimum working voltage, the gas meter will automatically close the valve to ensure the safety of gas usage. At the same time, under the state of power supply undervoltage, the data in the gas meter will not be lost or misplaced.

4. Meter reading and valve control function

IOT gas meter has active data reporting function and passive wake-up meter reading function, i.e., the gas meter can automatically transmit data to the management system, and can also be woken up by the management system for data reading. At the same time, the gas meter also has the function of receiving valve opening authorization and executing valve closing command, which enables the gas company to control and manage the gas meter remotely.

5. Recharge and billing function

The IOT gas meter supports cardless prepaid recharge, which allows users to recharge through cell phones or other terminal devices, without having to go to the gas company's window or self-service machine to recharge. In addition, both the gas meter side and the management system side are equipped with billing function, which can be automatically billed according to the user's gas consumption and the requirements of ladder gas price to ensure the accuracy and fairness of billing.

6. Price adjustment function

In order to adapt to changes in gas prices, IOT gas meter also has the function of price adjustment. The gas company can adjust the gas price according to the actual situation, and the gas meter can automatically receive and implement the new price settings to ensure that users are billed according to the latest price.

7. Data Freezing and Read/Write Clock

In order to ensure the accuracy and traceability of the data, the IOT gas meter is equipped with a data freeze function. At zero o'clock every day, the gas meter will automatically save the accumulated volume information and save the data of the last 60 days. In addition, users can read the current clock information of the gas meter, which is convenient for statistics and analysis of gas usage.

8. multi-channel communication function

In addition to communication with the management system, IOT gas meter also has multi-channel communication function. That is to say, in addition to controlling the gas meter through the management system, it is also possible to use handheld devices (such as smart phones or special terminals) to recharge the gas meter, valve control and other related operations. This communication mode provides users with more flexible and convenient operation methods, especially in emergency situations or when it is impossible to connect to the management system, the gas meter can be operated by handheld devices to ensure the normal use of gas.

IoT gas meters not only have basic metering functions, but also incorporate many advanced technologies and intelligent functions. These features not only enhance the safety and convenience of gas usage, but also provide gas companies with more efficient and intelligent management tools.
