Storage Temperature Range Minus 40 to 85 Degrees Celsius Wireless Technology Supporting Frequency 50 to 60 Hertz for Communication

Product Description:

The Stron Smart Data Concentrator Unit STC18-A is specifically designed for Smart Metering applications. It functions as a gateway that connects metering devices with the AMR/AMI system, facilitating seamless communication between these components.

The STC18-A supports two-way communication, enabling data exchange from metering points to the AMR/AMI system. It is responsible for carrying out various tasks, including task configuration, data collection, data transmission, and data storage. Additionally, it manages meter operations, executes GPRS information tasks, and oversees RF network management.

The ST368 model employs LORA-RF technology efficiently for downlink communication to smart meters, while utilizing GPRS for uplink communication. This dual communication approach ensures reliable and efficient data transfer in the smart metering network.

Features:

The system is fully compliant with the STS (Standard Transfer Specification), ensuring secure and reliable operation.

It supports LORA-RF technology for downlink communication to smart meters, enabling efficient and long-range data transmission.

For uplink communication, the system utilizes GPRS connectivity to interface seamlessly with head-end AMR/AMI systems, facilitating effective data management.

Collected data encompasses total energy consumption as well as detailed historical records, including daily and monthly consumption statistics.

Additionally, the meter provides access to various parameters, status updates, and real-time data readings to ensure comprehensive monitoring.

Any tamper events are automatically recorded and uploaded, enhancing the security and integrity of the metering system.

The device features an easy installation process, designed for mounting on a BS type base.

Technical Parameters:

The Data Concentrate Unit is designed to efficiently collect and manage data from multiple meters. It supports two size options: 2G and 4G, providing flexibility according to your connectivity needs.

This unit operates within a voltage range of AC 160V to 300V and supports a frequency of 45Hz to 65Hz. It functions reliably in a wide temperature range from -25℃ to 70℃, and can tolerate humidity levels up to 95%, making it suitable for varied environments.

The device is equipped with a GPRS or LORA-RF communication module, along with an RS485 port that supports data transfer speeds of 115200bps. It can connect up to 300 meters simultaneously, ensuring extensive data collection capabilities.

The maximum operating current of the unit is 500mA, while in sleeping state, it consumes as little as 0.2mA. The downlink communication range extends up to 1000 meters, facilitating reliable data transmission over considerable distances.

The unit measures 158mm by 110mm by 71mm. For optimal performance, it should be installed in an open area free of obstacles using suspension installation methods.

Applications:

The shell is constructed from environmentally friendly materials, ensuring that it is pollution-free, safe, and reliable. This eco-conscious design highlights the commitment to sustainability without compromising on quality.

The exterior features an IP54 protection rating, providing a certain level of waterproof and dustproof capabilities. For easy monitoring, there are five LED indicators that display the status of the DCU. Additionally, the device is equipped with a 433MHz extended antenna, which significantly enhances the communication range and stability for centralized meter reading.

Inside, the unit uses an internal switched power supply that supports a wide voltage range and contributes to a lighter overall weight. The GPRS module is housed in a separate box with a transparent clamshell protection, increasing the security of the module. This design choice ensures better safety and durability for the communication components.

The DCU fully complies with STS certification standards. It is manufactured in adherence to ISO9001 and ISO14001 norms, guaranteeing the product's reliability and stability.
