Introduction
Concentration and Communications Unit (iCCU)
The Luna iMonitoring iCCU is an autonomous,
wireless-LAN-to-wireless-WAN bridge, and data storage and
collection unit. Data flows via a secure, bidirectional, local radio
link. The iCCU can perform on-board data storage and
processing, and can serve as a LAN repeater. It contains external
WAN and LAN antenna ports. A single, solar-assisted battery
powers the unit which optimizes power based on the current
energy storage. The iCCU supports up to 128 wireless sensors,
and is field configurable and upgradeable.
Compact Flash Radio (iCFR)
The Luna iMonitoring iCFR is a self-contained Type I Compact
Flash Radio for wireless sensing applications. The iCFR uses
a standard interface found on PocketPC
®
s. The unit
communicates with other iCFRs, iCCUs, and iMonitoring’s
sensors over a customizable, wireless interface. The iCFR does
not require a battery since the host unit provides power. Other
features include programmable output power, low cost, and the
ability to configure and upgrade the unit in the field.
Electronic Flow Monitor (iEFM)
The Luna iMonitoring iEFM is an autonomous, wireless
electronic flow monitor which monitors natural gas flow
and provides total volumetric flow rate. Typically, the
sensor acquires five flow readings per day in monitor
mode. Each reading consists of an instantaneous
measurement, an average over the previous hour, and an
average over the previous 24 hours. An iCCU may
interrogate an iEFM at any time within a range of 2500
feet, and a portable device, such as a PocketPC
®
, can poll
the unit within a range of 500 feet.The iEFM performs
on-board data storage and processing, and transmits over
a secure, bidirectional radio link. The unit optimizes power
