elster

A Reliable Partner for over 750 Years

It was as early as 1848 when Elster began developing technologies for gas metering and regulation. Innovation, quality and safety have formed the basis of their success over the years. And even today, none of that has changed.

It all started with the production of gas lamps and the first mechanical devices for measuring the consumption of the gas in street lights. Since then, product development has made rapid progress. Ultrasonic metering, electronic volume correction as well as modern data acquisition and evaluation systems are every bit as much a part of the supply program as the traditional metering and regulating devices.

Nowadays, ELSTER-AMCO operates worldwide together with national and international associates, a globalisation process which mirrors the further development of the products. This is one of the most important company goals. Joint research and development activities guarantee technological innovations which each of the partner organisations can then exploit to the benefit of their own specific customers.

ELSTER-AMCO offers a variety of flexible and sophisticated system solutions which are in line with the requirements of today's markets and the specific needs of our customers.

For further information on product ranges produced by our affiliated companies AMCO, IGA, ELSTER-JEAVONS, KROMSCHROEDER or others, please refer directly to the companies or the Internet homepages (p.19 —20).

High quality products, efficient solutions and satisfied customers are, after all, the best conditions for a successful future.

Complete Systems from Elster within ELSTER-AMCO

Whether it's regulation, metering, data collection, data transfer or evaluation, ELSTER-AMCO offers solutions for every application — customized to the specific needs of each individual customer — either as single components or complete systems.

The metering and regulation product range covers devices for measuring consumption which can be used both for custody and non -custody transfer as well as traditional gas regulators for low, medium and high pressures.

For the field of gas metering, ELSTER-AMCO has also developed volume correctors and flow computers. These range from temperature volume correctors for commercial customers to flow computers for stations in the fields of gas distribution and transportation.

A further example illustrating ELSTER-AMCO's comprehensive systems is the data collection devices. These are characterised by their flexibility. The components of the EuroTRACE family and the DL240 data loggers are suitable for collecting consumption data through pulses. In these cases, the meter readings at the end of the month or a consumption profile at pre-programmed intervals can be called up as required. These devices can be used for collecting data from all media (i.e. gas, water, heat, electricity).

The LIS system in combination with the appropriate components reliably collects and transfers data for evaluation purposes in the fields of gas, electricity, water and district heating consumption. They are used by tariff customers, special -contract customers with varying amounts of consumption and by energy suppliers in substations.

An important component of these systems is the high-performance readout software WinCOMS. This software prepares all of the data for billing and fulfils one of the most important criteria in today's energy world: fast and, to a high degree, automatic collection of all relevant data. In line with customer parameters, the software collects the billing data fully automatically at the pre-programmed times and makes them available to the customer. The transferred data is then processed by the WinVIEW evaluation software, which then sends the completed data — ready to use — to the relevant accounts departments. In addition to this, the data can be used as the basis for advising customers on future strategies.

In the following pages, you will find a few examples

Elster Test Rig Technology

Nowadays, low-pressure test rigs are required to be as flexible as possible while at the same time maintaining the highest accuracy and the shortest test times possible. Our test rigs meet these requirements in every respect. Master meters operating with sonic nozzles provide the highest level of long-term stability and precision available in the field of generating flow conditions and registering volume. On top of this, by combining different nozzles it is possible in a very short time to adjust the flow rate for the test run. This means that the typical disadvantages of conventional test rigs with low flow rates, e.g. long test times or a high susceptibility to temperature influences, can be avoided by using sonic nozzle technology.
Gas meter test rigs involve a technical competence which goes far beyond the simple assembly of products. In many countries throughout the world, from China to Poland and Canada to Argentina, Elster and Kromschr5der are involved in the field of testing and are reputable partners and consultants of metrological institutes, gas suppliers and manufacturers. Our rigs are customized to fulfill the specific needs of the customer.
Our supply ranges from individual master meters to complete test rig systems.

Smart metering

Elster range of products and services

Smart metering

Metered for the future.
To promote the protection of the environment, European countries aim to preserve energy resources. Consumers should be aware of and regularly informed of their energy consumption. Smart metering is a new technology that provides regular consumption values using remote readout, making the end user’s individual energy consumption more transparent. The consumer is thus able to systematically gain energy awareness and reduce energy costs. With innovative Elster gas meters for smart metering systems, automated meter reading is possible at any time, for example when moving house or changing supplier. Energy suppliers benefit from the highest possible level of flexibility. There is no longer the need to visit the customers or make estimations in the event of price alterations. Moreover, they are already satisfying the legal framework conditions which state that energy consumption is to be made transparent and readout and billing intervals are to be made shorter. For the attraction of being able to change the personal use of energy sustainably is much greater than in the case of annual consumption billing.

The Absolute ENCODER AE is a modern index, whose absolute meter reading can be read out via remote data transfer. For communication purposes, the AE may be supplemented with various communication modules, which allow for cable-based or wireless data transfer and which contain a battery. The diaphragm gas meter with AE index derives its energy from the mains pressure and thus operates independently of external energy supply. Being incorporated into a data management system, the diaphragm gas meter with Absolute ENCODER presents an ideal basis for a smart meter infrastructure
The electronic index is a smart option for implementing smart metering for diaphragm gas meters. It offers the possibility of querying historical data, displaying tariffs and switching an optionally integrated valve. The modular design allows the communication equipment to be retrofitted or the batteries to be changed even while it is installed.

A universal and open interface concept, the Universal Metering Interface (UMI), has been developed for connecting the communication modules to the meter. This allows the gas meter to be fitted or retrofitted with a communication module under economic conditions. UMI may be universally implemented in measuring
instruments for electricity, gas, water and heat meters, as well as in data concentrators, in-home displays and other units. Regarding encryption, authentication and authorization UMI satisfies the most stringent security requirements

The data is usually read out via a wireless or a cable-based connection. Using Internet-based applications, it is possible for both energy suppliers and consumers to check the current daily, monthly and annual meter readings. In addition to meters for smart metering, Elster’s range of products and services also covers the necessary components for data communication and for networking the different system components.

Smart metering

Elster range of products and services

A smart extension to proven technology As an extension to the purely mechanical diaphragm gas meters, which have been proving their worth for decades, there are numerous variants available for smart gas metering and remote gas data transfer.
Absolute ENCODER AE The Absolute ENCODER index for diaphragm gas meters consists of a mechanical index in which 7 individual digit rollers are opto-electronically scanned and read out. The data is then continually transferred as a data word via a digital interface to the connected communication modules, whereby permanent data transfer security is guaranteed compared with the conventional transfer of pulses. The Absolute ENCODER’s consistent modular design minimizes the efforts and expenditure of installation, commissioning and data provision and ensures investment security for future applications. The Absolute ENCODER AE can be retrofitted with cable-based or wireless communication even after installation in the network.
Electronic index themis The electronic index themis for diaphragm gas meters offers a display and further functions such as local and remote communication, tariffs, load profiles, valve control, data logging, and software update. A wide range of communications solutions are available for the themis index, which guarantee the authenticity and integrity of the data transferred between the communications partners and also allow granting authorization to users. A secure, remotely controlled software update and the modular principle guarantee that the technology is future-proof and that it can be adjusted to meet new challenges retrospectively at low cost if necessary. The electronic index themis is applicable for both residential and commercial & industrial use. Different variants of the electronic index are available: themis-alpha, themis-plus, and themis-log. The indexes are supplied ready-configured, thus vastly reducing installation work.
Valve Ve By replacing conventional diaphragm gas meters, smart meters with additional functionality can be used, e.g. remote connection and disconnection of the gas supply internally within the meter itself. This significantly reduces the costs and labour caused by consumers in default of payment. The integrated valve in the diaphragm gas meter allows the gas supply to be remotely connected and disconnected. The integrated valve detects if the valve is closed or opened and provides a safe re-establishment of the gas supply with a protection against unintentional opening of the valve: Gas supply is only enabled once all of the customer’s gas appliances are closed.
Energy suppliers count on Absolute ENCODER technology
One of the largest energy suppliers in Germany has now put its trust in Elster diaphragm gas meters with Absolute ENCODER technology, following a number of pilot projects. The advantages are obvious: no batteries in the metrologyrelevant part of the meter, absolute meter readings, simple installation without additional costs involved in parameter setting, and an index whose service life corresponds to that of the meter. Furthermore, the interface design of the Absolute ENCODER index offers complete flexibility for installation. Elster is looking forward to being a reliable partner for you for future innovative product solutions
