Ek155 en01 data sheet, 26/06/2012

Volume conversion device with tariff and data logging function and integrated GPRS modem - Automatic data transfer to head end system The EK155 is a battery-operated volume conversion device for pipe or wall mounting to be connected to all kinds of meters, both commercial and industrial. It is specially designed to be easily mounted onto Elster diaphragm meters of size G10 to G25. The device cal- culates the volumes and fl ow rates under standard conditions on the basis of the con- sumption data supplied by fl ow-proportional pulses from the connected meter and the analogue measurements of gas temperature and gas pressure.
The EK155 consists of a central unit with an external pressure sensor as well as a tem- perature sensor. The sensors are permanently connected to the unit. The compressibility K can be programmed as a constant for all gases or calculated according to various The integrated sophisticated data logging function records the consumption data by dif- ferent tariff levels. An event logbook is used to store all signifi cant events such as clock synchronization, component failures, modifi cation of parameters or tariff programs, etc.
The current meter readings, measured values and parameters are shown on an alpha- numerical LCD display, combined with icons indicating the device status. The keypad with two buttons enables intuitive operation of the device.
EK155 comes equipped with a battery-operated GSM/GPRS modem. The communica-tions session can be initiated by the device by connecting to a head end (INBOUND mode) or by the head end system itself (OUTBOUND mode). The CTR communications protocol complies with UNI-TS 11291-3. The communications channels can be confi gured as GSM CSD, GPRS or SMS channels, or any combination of these. The device supports both short (140 bytes) and long (1024 bytes) data frames according to the CTR specifi cation.
Message authentication and data encryption are based on the symmetric Advanced En-cryption Standard (AES-128) algorithm with a key management mechanism. As required, the device supports fi ve different user groups (Administrators, Maintenance, User 1, 2, 3), each with specifi ed access rights, including 10 access codes per group. In combination with AES encryption, this ensures excellent data protection. The device supports remote fi rmware upgrades in accordance with the WELMEC Guide 7.2.
The EK155 is powered by two separate and independent lithium batteries. One battery is dedicated to the volume conversion device itself and the second one provides the power supply for the GSM/GPRS modem. The battery life of the device battery is > 5 years; for the modem battery this depends mainly on the frequency of data communication.
