The EK205-M is a battery-operated volume conversion device that can be easily mounted onto gas meters from Elster or other manufacturers. Power is supplied by a lithium battery with a service life of at least 5 years under standard operating conditions.
The device calculates gas volume at base conditions based on consumption data supplied by flow-proportional pulses from the connected meter as well as the measurements of gas temperature and pressure.
The data logging function, the optionally integrated modem, and different communication protocols allow integration in head-end and Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) systems.
