Once installed, EcoChirp transmitters count pulses from meterhead or reed switch type output utility meters. The transmitted data can be sent via a Wi5 data hub or other HWM Receiver/Repeaters. The transmit or "chirp" consists of a secure data packet along with a status and unique ID address at regular intervals (various transmission times available).
Information such as low battery warning is also provided on all variants. Repeaters can be used to extend transmission range.
