Near-infrared RS-232 optical magnetic adapter reads electricity, gas and water meters

  • RS232 interface enables direct meter data reading
  • Near-infrared optical link avoids electrical interference
  • Magnetic adapter holds probe securely on utility meters
  • Single cable connects electricity, gas and water meters

Near-Infrared RS232 Optical Adapter

This cable converts near-infrared optical signals from utility meters into an RS232 data stream. It is intended for technicians and system integrators who read consumption data from electricity, gas or water meters equipped with an optical port. The magnetic coupling holds the adapter in place during the reading session. No external power supply is required for the conversion.

Passive Optical-to-Serial Conversion

The adapter draws its operating current from the RS232 host port, so it adds no measurable load to the meter or the reading device. With no active electronics in the optical head, heat output is negligible and the unit runs completely silent. Power consumption stays within the limits of a standard serial port during normal reading operations.

Highlights

Questions about this item

How do I attach the magnetic adapter to the meter's optical port for RS232 data reading?

Align the magnetic adapter with the meter's optical port; the built-in magnet holds it securely in place while the near-infrared sensor reads the data stream.

Will the near-infrared sensor or magnetic mount degrade and need replacement over time?

The near-infrared sensor and magnetic mount are solid-state components with no moving parts, so they do not require scheduled replacement under normal use.
