Connects a utility meter to a computer via USB using IEC 62056/1107 optical communication

  • USB interface connects directly to meters
  • IEC 62056-1107 standard ensures protocol compatibility
  • Near-infrared photoelectric head reads optical ports
  • DLMS transparent transmission forwards raw meter data

USB Near Infrared Meter Reader

This USB photoelectric head connects to utility meters that implement the IEC 62056/1107 optical interface. It provides transparent DLMS transmission for automated meter reading and data logging. The device is intended for technicians and integrators who need a direct computer link to compliant electricity, gas or water meters. No external power supply is required because the interface draws power from the USB port.

Suited for IEC 62056 optical ports only

The reader works with meters that expose a standard IEC 62056/1107 near-infrared window and support DLMS communication. It will not function with meters that use proprietary optical protocols, radio-frequency interfaces or wired M-Bus connections. Buyers who need to read non-compliant meters or who require wireless data collection should look at alternative solutions.

Highlights

  • USB interface connects directly to meters
  • IEC 62056-1107 standard ensures protocol compatibility
  • Near-infrared photoelectric head reads optical ports
