Geckollect-GS is a reed contact module for pulse counting
The Geckollect-GS pulse emitter unit can measure the consumption of properly designed gas meters and make it available in a pulse signal.
The device implements a so-called low-frequency transmitter, which, after the amount of consumption determined by the meter, behaves like a pressed switch, thereby indicating to the remote reading unit that consumption has occurred on the meter.

The device must be inserted into the corresponding opening of the gas meter (it also works without disassembling the transmitter nest).
When the magnet (Totaliser) arrives, the circuit changes from previously open to closed. This gives the pulse signal.
A reading device capable of reading pulse data is required for its operation. No power supply is required for operation.
According to the gas meter manufacturer's data sheet, the pulse width and resolution are fixed and cannot be changed.
Thanks to the design of the sensor, it is waterproof, but it is not recommended to bury the cable freely in the ground or expose it to direct strong sunlight, as this can damage the insulation. The cable is not shielded.

Measuring head:
High | 13 mm |
Width | 40 mm |
Depth | 22 mm |
Cable length | 1000 mm |
Geometric sizes are without the cable. The length of the cable may very a few percent.
Please note that the device contains a sensitive reed switch, so it is highly sensitive to shocks and rapid temperature changes - handle with caution.
red cable | pulse + (polarity independent) |
black cable | pulse - (polarity independent) |
