  The de-regulation of Electricity and Gas supply has encouraged the use of intelligent tariff meters - smart meters - that can be read electronically.  ABACUS ELECTRICS optical probes are bi-directional communications devices utilising infra-red light.  Connecting to a computer or hand-held terminal they permit galvanically isolated communication with electricity and gas smart meters.

ANSI Type 2 probes are used with tariff meters designed to the American National Standard ANSI C12.18-2006 (also Australian Standard AS 1284.10.2-2006).

 The ABACUS ELECTRICS ANSI USB Optical Probe model A9U-P-U04M-2A has a new home with TransData Inc.  It is available to purchase now.

IEC probes are used with tariff meters with optical ports designed to the European IEC62056-21:2002 standard (formerly the IEC1107:1996 standard).  Probes of this type are used with electricity meters throughout Europe and with gas meters/volume correctors worldwide.
