Page 6: Application And Functionality
3. Application and Functionality General Information MCL 5.10 controller (further referred to as a controller) is used in AMR systems for automated remote data reading of electricity, heat meters and other electronic devices and data transmission to remote offices. Device does not store, manipulate or alter meter information. The controller has an internal lithium-polymer battery for power failure notification to the remote data center. - Page 7 controllers menu or via parametrization software in “provider settings”. Alarm system (Plug & Play) When any event or alarm is received from the meter interface, the controller sends all the data received from the meter and the controllers information (IMEI, IP) using http protocol to the url address specified in the settings menu “Plug&Play server address”.
