GSM6i module

Product catalog summary
Overview: The GSM6i module is designed for efficient remote reading of Kamstrup electricity meters (models 162/382/351) and can function as a data logger or a transparent communication module. It supports dual-band communication at 900 MHz and 1800 MHz with a data rate of 9600 bit/sec via the GSM data channel. The module is easily installed in the meter's module area and features a 10-day backup for the real-time clock, tariff, and load control capabilities.
Key Features:
  • Remote meter reading via SMS.
  • LED bar for signal strength indication.
  • Central upload of new features, such as tariff switch times.
  • Integral real-time clock (RTC) with status/pulse input, load profile, and event logging capabilities.
  • Relay output for load control.
Technical Specifications:
  • GSM: Supports GSM 900-1800 MHz Phase II+, with Class 4 at 900 MHz (2 W) and Class 1 at 1800 MHz (1 W).
  • Antenna: Dual-band PCB antenna with MCX connector for external connection.
  • Communication Protocol: V.110 with CRC checksum, GPRS Class 8, class B.
  • Power Supply: Supplied from the electricity meter, with power consumption of less than 0.5 W when idle and less than 3 W during transmission.
  • RTC Accuracy: 20 ppm with a minimum 10-day backup.
  • Logging Capabilities: Load profile logging at intervals of 5/15/30/60 minutes, with depths of 3/11/22/45 days. Daily, weekly, and monthly loggers with depths of 45 days, 45 weeks, and 45 months, respectively. Event logger with a depth of 64 events.
  • Tariff and Load Control: Supports 2 tariff switches with 30 optional days and load control at 230 VAC, 100 mA.
  • Status/Pulse Input: Potential-free with fixed limits, supporting cable lengths up to 20 m and a maximum frequency of 16.6 Hz.
Mechanical and Environmental Data:
  • Dimensions: 41x93x41 mm.
  • Temperature Range: Storage and operation from -40°C to +60°C.
  • Humidity: Relative humidity less than 95%, non-condensing.
  • Installation: Inserted into the module area of the electricity meter, with an IP51 density rating when mounted.
Compliance and Approvals:
  • CE mark.
  • EN61600-6 EMS.
  • EN62052-11 Electricity meter approval.
  • CTR 19,20,31,32 GSM approval.

The GSM6i module is also very suitable for isolated metering points with poor radio coverage as well as in areas that are difficult to access. The GSM6i module makes central upload of new features possible, e.g. new tariff switch times. The GSM6i module can be configured to operate as a transparent unit or with logger functionality. In connection with configuration of the electricity meter the pulse input can be changed into being a status input and can be read via SMS.
