Monitoring gas meter - Landis & Gyr E6S

zagmund · 2014-04-02 18:14:34

Does anyone know if there is any external monitoring available for this meter? It was supplied last year by BGN, so it's presumably relatively new, although I did see some 6 year old ones for sale on ebay so it may not be that new. From looking at external monitoring options, it seems like the usual suspects are ruled out…

Opto isolators and opto comms are different . A isolator will give you a pulse output

You cannot break into the gas line. It can only be done by a qualified RGII gas fitter - by law.

Bord Gais Networks are the only people to drive this. The new meters do not have the bits fitted but could be retrofitted. Clearly it is highly encrypted because, with access, it is possible to 'adjust' the meter.
