TF-201 Optical Probe for Smart Meter Reading

TF-201 Optical Probe for Smart Meter Reading

The optical probe 600003 for smart metering is an interface for data exchange between a consumption meter (eg, electric meter, gas meter, heating meter, water meter, etc. ) and aperipheral device via infrared optical waves. The optical reading head is manufactured in accordance with the standard IEC 62056-21 (IEC 1107). 
Our optical probe 600003 has on one end an USB type A connector which can be connected to your peripheral device that supports USB-Host. There is a fix mounted magnetic ring on the other end of the optical reading head 600003, which will be docked on your consumption counter. 
Please note that additional, specific software is necessary to exchange data between the consumption meter and your peripheral device.
