SmartPoint 520M
Pit Set Module
The SmartPoint® 520M Pit Set Module is a radio transceiver that provides water utilities inbound and outbound access to water measurement and ancillary device diagnostics via radio signal. The SmartPoint 520M is designed for submersible, pit-set environments.

TouchCoupler Design
The SmartPoint 520M Module utilizes TouchCoupler, the patented Sensus inductive coupling communication platform, to interface with the encoded meter. With TouchCoupler, the SmartPoint 520M Module can connect to the meter using existing two wire AMR installations instead of requiring utilities to access the meter to install a new three-wire connection. This results in a fast, efficient and reliable connection at minimal cost.

Operation
With its migratable, two-way communication ability, the M-Series SmartPoint functions as a walk-by/drive-by endpoint, fixed-base endpoint, or combination of the two. This flexibility increases utility data collection capabilities and streamlines operations. The SmartPoint 520M Module receives input from the meter register and remotely sends data to a walk-by/drive-by or fixed-base collection device. The SmartPoint 520M Module easily migrates from walk-by/drive-by to fixed base by simply installing a Base Station.

In walk-by/drive-by mode, the SmartPoint 520M Module collects data and awaits an activation signal from the Vehicle Gateway Basestation (VGB) or Hand-Held Device (HHD). Upon signal receipt, it transmits readings, the meter identification number and any alarms.

As a fixed-base endpoint, the SmartPoint 520M Module interacts with one or more strategically placed Base Stations located in the utility service area. Top of the hour readings and other diagnostics are instantly forwarded to the Regional Network Interface (RNI)™ at time of transmission. The FlexNet® communication network provides unmatched reliability by using expansive tower receiver coverage of metering end points, data/message redundancy, failover backup provisions and operation on FCC primary use (unshared) RF spectrum.

Powerful Transmission, Flexible Platform
The SmartPoint® 520M Pit Set Module offers several advantages that control both deployment and lifetime operation costs. Its powerful, industry-leading two watt transmitter broadcasts over large distances and minimizes collection infrastructure.

And after the SmartPoint is installed, its migratable, two-way system platform can be updated without requiring personnel to visit each meter and/or inconveniencing customers.

BENEFITS
Easily receives input from either walk-by/
drive-by or fixed-base collection device
Controls both deployment and lifetime
operation costs
Compact installation that saves time,
space and money - without reducing
system performance
Delivers a fast, efficient and reliable
connection at minimal cost
Minimizes new infrastructure investment
Enables effective leak detection

SmartPoint 520M
Pit Set Module
Additional Smartpoint 520M Module Features
The SmartPoint 520M Module obtains hourly readings and can monitor continuous flow over a programmable period of time, alerting the utility to leak conditions. In addition, the SmartPoint stores up to 840 consumption intervals (35 days of hourly consumption), providing the utility with the ability to extract detailed usage profiles for consumer information and dispute resolution. The SmartPoint also incorporates a two-port design, allowing the utility to connect multiple registers and ancillary devices (such as acoustic monitoring) to a single SmartPoint. This results in a compact installation that saves time, space and money - without reducing system performance.

EasyLink
Mobile communication solution - ERT
How EasyLink Works
With EasyLink, you can keep your existing assets while
transitioning to the FlexNet AMI solution, ensuring the most efficient and cost-effective migration for your utility.

FlexNet and ERT Compatibility
The EasyLink Reader reads SmartPoint modules for water, gas, and electric radios along with ERTs. By combining these two technologies, the utility can utilize their existing ERTs while transitioning to FlexNet.

Operation
Simple and easy installation allows the EasyLink reader to operate, and data begins collecting automatically. Multiple read modes are available depending on the type of devices in operation. The EasyLink Reader is capable of capturing data in either bubble-up or legacy interrogation mode and also offers configurable alarms.

With a laptop, USB cable, and antennae, any vehicle can become a meter-reading machine.

System Reliability
The FlexNet communications network utilizes primary-use radio frequencies to communicate with SmartPoint modules.

The combination of FCC-protected frequencies and a full two watts transmission power of the SmartPoint modules ensure reliable meter communication and longer range. In addition, the SmartPoint and ERT modules provide infrastructure detail by monitoring operating conditions and reporting meter tamper, continuous flow and low battery alarms.
