Manual heating is confident that Dispatch will streamline payments to consumers and improve the quality of services heating. Testimony will be debited in the same numbers, and invoices without delay, strictly for the actual heat consumption. This will avoid confusion and possible payment of claims from the owners. Installation and connection of additional equipment required to turn the heat meter collection network data cost for each apartment building about 18 thousand rubles at a time. Get about 200 rubles to the apartment. GSM-equipment does not require special care, so that neither consumers nor the Heat Supply organization does not incur additional costs. The subscription fee for the SIM-card does not exceed 300 rubles a year.
Supply and you can forget should dwell on the fact that the cost of organizing the GSM-system proportional to the number of subscribers. "One of our customer – JSC" smd "(Stupino Machine-Building Production Enterprise) – has a single node for heat at the point of entry to the TEC-17, – said Vasily Kochnev, ceo of serving "Service-K Plus. – The company is located in the industrial area and is separated from the town forest. Node itself is located at a distance from the administrative building of the plant in the closed protected areas. To get to it, it is necessary to overcome the 4 km bypass road, and in addition, provide the documents to pass.
However, the accounting data required high frequency, for example, in the winter – every day. They need not only the sales department heating, but the factory dispatchers to monitor the system. " This explains why a service company, there was a need for the organization of remote reading. "By accounting devices we have connected the GSM-module, which the team operator interrogates the computer and transmits data to a remote control station. In this capacity can be any personal computer equipped with GSM-modem, – said Vasily Kochnev. – Now we visit the site registration only for preventive inspections. However, it is rather a requirement of Regulation: ultrasonic heat meters Kamstrup companies require no maintenance except compulsory for all devices of removal is proving to every 4 years. The cost of GSM-equipment amounted to a total of 12 thousand rubles, and further expenditures are equal monthly payments cellular operator in the standard tariff. It should be noted that no matter how comfortable any system of remote sensing, a key moment in her work is the credibility of the metering devices. Spend time and money to dispatch unreliable heat meters – it's like building a house without a foundation. After all, if the device requires registration constant attention due to unstable, and the specialist has to regularly visit him to address one or the other problem, all the advantages of remote collection of evidence will be lost. Therefore, before choosing a method communication, for example, gsm, you must make sure that they themselves will not bring heat meters. It is this confidence gives the assurance that the system will work for many years and would be economically viable. Remote data collection using the gsm does not require additional infrastructure, can be implemented in virtually any environment, with distance metering does not matter. The cost of dispatching small and proportional to the number subscribers. This explains why such solutions are gradually becoming more popular in Russia. Press office Kamstrup
