Vital Power install Data Loggers on gas meters to enable the pulse output from the meter to be converted into data that can be used for accurate readings.
The loggers have an integral communications device that transmits data to a central point where individual usage figures can be viewed, in turn this helps in the review of overall energy costs, identifying potential savings.
The loggers are installed and programmed by our fully trained and authorised electrical engineers without interruption to the gas supply. Once fitted the loggers effectively turn basic dumb meters into smart meters.
