Mi.Node W Meter Interface Unit

The Mueller Systems Mi.Node W meter interface unit provides a direct connection to all Hersey water meters equipped with a Translator® encoder register. The primary function of the Mi.Node W is to provide full, two way communications between the Mi.Net Mesh/Fixed AMI system and the smart meter.

Information retrieved from a water meter is stored temporarily within the Mi.Node W unit's internal memory. At a time specified by the system or controlled by the user for an "On Demand" read, the Mi.Node W interface unit will transmit all meter data. This data is sent to a Mi.Gate collector via an unlicensed radio frequency and then relayed to the Mi.Net host server for analysis and storage. All Mi.Node units support the relay of data (Data Hopping) to other Mi.Node units. This allows the Mi.Net system to successfully overcome obstacles encountered in varied and difficult network topographies. Up to four routing options for each Mi.Node unit ensure that the data will be retrieved by the server.
