Abstract:
Device for assisting the connection between a radio transmitter for remote reading of fluid consumption meters, especially water meters, and the output conductors for signals representative of consumption, provided on a meter or a sensor with which this meter is equipped, characterized in that it comprises at least one card (1,1a,1b,1c) provided, on at least a part of its periphery, with means (M1, M2) for holding the conductors of the transmitter and of the meter(s) or sensors of meters to be connected, and, on at least one face, with a diagram (S, S1, S2) of the connection to be effected, the card comprising a marking indicating the combination that it represents.
Abstract:
A communication system (15) is provided that includes both an electromagnetic ('EM') communication device (17) and an optical communication device (18) including at least a machine readable symbol where at least a portion of the EM communication device and at least a portion of the machine readable symbol are formed from the same material. This may be, for example, a conductable ink or a conductable foil. If desired, the EM communication device may include an antenna where at least a portion of the antenna includes at least a portion of the machine readable symbol.
Abstract:
The electronic module (BG) according to the invention incorporates a specified separation edge (SAK, SAK1, SAK2, SAK3) for the mechanical, irreversible separation of a separable part (AT, AT1, AT2, AT3) of the module (BG) from the remainder of the module (BGR), both the separable part (AT, AT1, AT2, AT3) and the module remainder (BGR) incorporating essentially interacting circuit components (ST1, ST2) for an intended electrotechnical operation of the module (BG). By separating the separable part (AT, AT1, AT2, AT3) the electrotechnical operation of the module (BG) can be permanently deactivated. Furthermore the invention relates to a procedure for the partial scrapping of the electronic module (BG).
