MacR6
Billing data logger with built-in telemetry module

MacR6 data logger is the simple volume recorder dedicated to work with diaphragm gas meters. Registered parameters
are transmitted to SCADA systems or PLUM eWebtel platform. MacR6 reacts on alarms situations as following:
magnetic interruption, counter change, battery change, low GSM range, cover opening*. Basic version is designed to
work in Ex Zone 2. Versions for Zone 0 are also available.
* - depend on device variant

Main features of the MacR6

• Effective and economic solution which allows implementation of an automatic invoicing of commercial customers

• Possibility of balancing the distribution system based on the real data

• Improved tamper detection thereby the distribution system is more protected

• Compatible with diaphragm gas meters using magnetic coupling and dedicated adapters

• Support for large rangeability of meters

• Usage of current 2G and 3G network in order to ensure good signal strength

• Outputs to BMS systems with information about usage of contracted capacity

• Device localization function

OptoBTEx | Optical-bluetooth interface

Communication interface OptoBTEx is a wireless data transmitter with IEC 62056-21 compatible
devices. The transmission is performed via Bluetooth 2.1+EDR Class 2 for Android devices
(smartphones, tablets). It also has ability to for wired USB communication via microUSB cable.

Dedicated adapters | Easy installation

Dedicated adapters system for direct installation on gas meter totalizer.

ConfIT! mobile | Application

Application designed for mobile devices with the Android system (smartphones, tablets).
It is available for free download from Google play.

eWebTEL | Software
eWebTEL is a platform aggregating measurement data intended for comprehensive supervision
over monitored gas network. It enables to graphically visualize data sent from the resolvers,
manometers and recorders, geo-location of devices. It also allows to overview history of
recorded data and generation of reports concerning: monthly gas consumption along with hour
peaks by particular receivers or group of receivers, history of gas consumption by particular
receivers or group of receivers, failure occurrences and times, history of parameter values
defining a condition of gas network.
