Multi-Energy<strong>AnyQuest</strong> / <strong>EverBlu</strong><strong>Option</strong> <strong>Board</strong>Radio Module for Remote Heat, Cooling & Water MeterReadingThe <strong>AnyQuest</strong> / <strong>EverBlu</strong> option board has beendesigned to fulfil the requirement of utilities andservice companies willing to remote read theirheat, cooling and water meters by radio in Walk byor Fixed Network in order to improve theirproductivity and sell extra services to theircustomers.The integrity and reliability of this data is key foruse in billing applications.The functionality of the <strong>AnyQuest</strong> / <strong>EverBlu</strong> optionboard is optimized for billing purposes. Bystandard reading mode, an end of day value of theheat meters registers is transmitted to the readingsystem.> Key Features- Ease of Installation- Consistent Reliability- Advanced functions- Compatible with <strong>EverBlu</strong> Fixed Network- Compatible with <strong>AnyQuest</strong> walk-bysystemw w w . i t r o n . c o mAs heat, cooling and water meters are animportant investment for utilities, the complete<strong>Itron</strong> CF-family of ultrasonic heat and coolingmeter as well as calculators for split meters andthe Echodis water meters could be pre-equippedconsidering actual or future evolutions towardsremote reading technologies.Benefits of Wireless Solution> Automatic radio meter reading increases thereading reliability and significantly enhances thedata acquisition speed.> The radio reading opens accessibility to allmeters even in the customer is absent or inhard to read locations.> The RADIAN radio technology is the most openradio protocol, resulting from the work of aEuropean user group.CompatibilityThe <strong>AnyQuest</strong> / <strong>EverBlu</strong> option board is compatibleto all <strong>Itron</strong> heat, cooling and water meters of thelatest CF-family range of products:> CF Echo II> CF 51 calculator> CF 55 calculator> CF 800 calculator> EchodisFor retrofit of meters already installed in the fieldthe board can easily be mounted in the metersoption board slot.Consistent reliabilityThe <strong>AnyQuest</strong> / <strong>EverBlu</strong> option board is directlyinterfaced with the calculators micro processor.This guarantees the perfect correlation betweenthe heat, cooling and water meter values and theremote reading index.Powerful and Advanced Features> <strong>AnyQuest</strong>Managed by the RF reading software there is achoice of multiple frames of data:Heat & CoolingEchodis(standard frame)*- Energy- Volume- Power- Instant Flow- Return & Flow temperature- Alarms* other frames available on request> <strong>EverBlu</strong>Heat & Cooling(Daily data)- Energy- Volume- Power- Instant Flow- Return & Flow temperature- Cooling Energy- Alarms- Index- Flow- Operating Time- AlarmsEchodis- 24 hourly index- AlarmsExternal water meter inputsFor combined heat, cooling and water-billingapplications, the option board also provides twoadditional input registers for external water meterswith low frequency pulse emitters.Each input can be programmed independentlywith a pulse value and meter offset.The indexes of these two registers areautomatically included in the standard readingmode as well as in all fixed date reading frames.
