Communication

Information gathered by the PMM is transmitted via a Packet Power radio network operating

in a subset of the range between 860 and 930MHz (the exact frequencies vary with region –

please contact Packet Power for details). The network operates in a mesh topology. Each

device in the network must be within range of at least one other device in the network. The

effective range of the radio in the PMM varies depending on several factors, including the

environment in which the product is used. Typically, the device has an effective range of 50

to over 100 feet. The PMM will not transmit effectively if it is installed in an enclosure that

blocks radio signals.

Every site where the PMM is deployed must have installed at least one compatible Packet

Power Gateway device and associated software to collect data and prepare it for

transmission to approved monitoring and analysis applications.

The frequency with which monitoring information is gathered from a PMM depends primarily

on the ratio of the number of PMMs to the number of gateways. It can range from every

few seconds to 100 seconds or more.

Note: In the event of a loss of power to the PMM, energy consumption information

(Wh) for all three channels and the total is retained in non-volatile memory and will be

transmitted when power is restored.

Sample Label

Note the PMM is manufactured in two different models with different input power source

requirements. The required type of input power is indicated on the product safety label.
