APPLICATIONS: The Integral Hersey® HOT ROD™ is a high performance,
transmitter designed for mobile AMR. It is compatible
with all current 5/8” through 1” Hersey Positive Displacement
and 3/4” through 2” MVR and RFM Meters utilizing the Translator® Positional Encoder Register. The primary function of the Integral HOT ROD module is to transmit an encoded serial number, water consumption, leak detection information and status data via radio frequency. When combined with the Hersey STREET MACHINE™ Mobile Receiver and EZ Reader™ Software, it provides the basis for high speed, high performance
meter reading
INSTALLATION: Integral HOT ROD modules are available in two options; metal pit (Yellow) and standard power (Gray) Each meter is shipped with the Integral Hot Rod preprogrammed
and permanently attached to simplify installation, eliminate exposed wires and mounting hardware in all installation
environments. The Hot Rod is also available with exposed wire lengths appropriate for installation on Hersey Meters not listed above.
PERFORMANCE: The Integral HOT ROD module utilizes the 902MHz to 928MHz ISM band which are FCC license exempt frequencies and translates to lower initial start up costs. The Integral HOT ROD module transmits or “bubbles up” every 2 seconds on multiple frequencies without the need of a “wake up call’ insuring a continuous information stream for absolute
data collection. Each transmission lasts only 2.5 milliseconds.
That equates to almost 16 million opportunities per year to read each Integral HOT ROD module and unparalleled performance
CONFORMANCE TO STANDARDS: FCC compliance: Part 15
certified. The Integral HOT ROD complies with Standard C707 for Encoded Remote Reading Systems. No FCC License is required
for operation.
CONSTRUCTION: The Integral HOT ROD module consists of a compact printed circuit board which is encapsulated to provide
complete protection against shock and water intrusion. The enclosure is made of UV stable, high density thermoplastic
and is completely waterproof. All modules are integrally mounted to the meter for all installations. One C size lithium
battery provides plenty of power for reading the register and
sending RF data. The battery is sealed within the module and
is not replaceable. There are no customer serviceable parts
inside the HOT ROD.
