TruCom Marathon
The super-efficient use of the battery power makes the Marathon ideal for remote metering installations where there is no or intermittent power. The Marathon has been tested to last to a maximum of over 20,000 reports from a single battery pack. Because the sleep mode current consumption is so low, the Marathon can last up to 10 years. This obviously depends on the signal quality and the number of reports per day.
Depending on the GSM network costs, the communication costs can be as low as $0.00167 (1/6th of a Dollar cent), making it the most cost-effective way of getting utilities meter readings from a remote point. With special monthly line rental rates negotiated with the leading GSM Network Operator in South Africa, we can help you achieve the lowest possible overall cost of metering anywhere.
Every report contains the counter values, the signal quality, and the battery voltage.
Applications include remote electricity, gas and water metering. Because the Marathon is also available with two inputs, it can also be used for metering points where there is a high-flow as well as a low-flow meter connected, or even metering two utilities such as water and gas at the same time.
