AUTONOMOUS PULSE RECORD SYSTEM - SARP

SARP is a system for management as well as invoicing of Electric Energy, Water and Gas consumption, based in an automatic and remote counter reading process. 

The small size of its units, components reliability, installation simplicity and flexibility, as well as data transmission security, all within a reasonable price, make the SARP a highly rentable product for any company users. 

SARP is the only system that simultaneously manages consumptions of electricity, water and gas counters provided with open/closed contact pulse output type. 
 
 

MAIN PERFORMANCES

For Electricity, Water or Gas companies 
    - Remote counter readings, with no need to access to client homes or buildings. 
    - Consumption or load curves records. 
For Electricity companies 
    - Remote peak demand readings per each contracted tariff. 
    - Application of up to 20 different tariffs, keeping the pulse output counter with only one integrator. 
    - Remote change of tariff blocks.

SARP EQUIPMENTS

    Pulse Memorizing Unit - UMP

    The UMP is the "heart" of the SARP. Manufactured with modern technology, SMT, ASIC, CMOS, etc., the UMP is the system element that identifies, counts, and stores pulses sent by the counter. 

    Each counter needs one UMP

    It has a capacity of up to 4.294 million pulses. 

    The undeletable serial number (arranged as a drill code into the same printed circuit), identifies each UMP among others within a total number of up to 16,7 million units. 

    Up to 512 UMPs can be connected into the same bus. Their positions in the bus are coded with "jumpers". 

    No connection to the main power is necessary, since its very low current drain, under 6 microamperes, will guarantee data retention for a minimum of ten years from a Li/Mn built-in battery. 

    All UMPs in the same bus are read from a single connection point. 

    A couple of wires connect the counter pulse outputs to their respective UMPs. All UMPs, whatever the nature of counter pulses received, electric energy, water or gas, can be connected to the same bus. 

    Each UMP and its connector are housed in a fire resistant Celanex box, hermetically closed. 

    Under demand, the box can be manufactured with different materials or shapes, even containing more than one UMP

    The physical support of the UMPs connection bus can also be manufactured, under demand, with different configurations or protection levels depending on the application (electric energy alone, water or gas, or some of them together). 
     
     

    Data Transceiver Processor - PTD

    The PTD is the equipment that provides "intelligence" to the SARP, besides being the system that links, via a bidirectional radio, the UMPs and the user company. 

    Every PTD will accept between 1 and 4 buses with UMPs. This means that up to 2048 Electricity, Water or Gas counters can be connected to the same PTD simultaneously. 

    Each PTD carries a different number of particular calling codes, between 1 and 4, that identifies it within a million possible installations. 

    The modular design of the PTD makes easy its installation as well as any modification, thereby adapting to specifical requirements of user companies. 

    According to the communication method, there are several PTD equipments, 
     

    • PTD Radio UHF (at 411,375 MHz and 411,425 MHz)
    • PTD Radio VHF (at 71,375 MHz)
    • PTD Modem STN (2,400 bauds through Switching Telephony Network)
    • PTD Radio Coaxial (coax cables transceptor)

     

    Mobile Unit Processor - PRM

    The PRM equipment is the one to be used together with the PTD Radio (UHF or VHF). 

    PRM components are a computer - PC or Notebook, depending on if it should be carried close to the PTD or not - IBM compatible connected to an IFR (RADIO INTERFACE). 

    Depending on the frequence to be used, differents IFR are provided. 
     
     

    Portable Reading Processor - PLP

    The PLP is a hand portable computer that can be directly connected, through its probe cable, to the UMPs, to collect data from them. 

    It loads routes to follow through its serial interface, downloading later collected data. 
     

SARP ADVANTAGES

  • Total accuracy of received readings, at any time of the day or night.
  • Important productivity upgrade (a yield of 28 to 32.000 readings man/day).
  • Up to 20 different tariffs, with no counter changes and just one integrator.
  • Exact control of peak power demands per each contracted tariff, without need of special equipment.
  • Deeper knowledge of client consumption habits, through the information that provide load or consumption curves.
  • Simultaneous management of Electricity, Water and Gas counters.
  • Perfect adaptation to installation with just a few counters as well as those of big buildings.
All these advantages, that imply besides a better image of the user company, together with a reasonable price, set up an important operating costs reduction, and therefore, to a rentability increase.
