Geckollect-I inductive pulse transmitter module

General description:

The Geckollect-I inductive pulse transmitter module is able to transmit the consumption of consumption meters equipped with a metal disc transmitter in the form of a pulse signal, with low consumption.

The Geckollect-I inductive pulse transmitter module is able to transmit the consumption of consumption meters equipped with a metal disc transmitter in the form of a pulse signal, with low consumption.

The device must be fixed with the double-sided adhesive so that the rotating metal wheel is exactly under the "+" sign on the sticker.

Installation and Operation:

The Geckollect-I sensor can detect the rotation of the small metal wheel (even non-magnetic metal) hidden in the meter with a low-power metal detector, which measures five times per second with very low power consumption for long battery life.

If it detects the passage of the metal disk it sends a pulse signal on the pulse connector, the length of which depends on the type of consumption meter, which cannot be adjusted.

For its operation, a reading device capable of receiving pulse data is required. For measurement, the pulse output connector of the device must be plugged into the properly specified pulse input. The reading device was implemented with a pullup resistor. When connecting the pulse connector, pay attention to the polarity! For measurement you also need a power supply that supplies the sensor with 3.3V.

Thanks to the design of the sensor, it is closed and waterproof. During its installation and use, care must be taken to ensure that no moving metal pieces other than the consumption meter come near it, as their movement may interfere with the measurement.
