INTRODUCTION
The meaning of AMR:
Automatic meter reading (AMR) is the collection of, at a
remote central location, data from consumption meters
located at customers premises via telecommunication
links.
The meters could measure gas, water or electricity flow.
These links could be Telephone lines, powerline carrier
communication (PLCC), Radio frequency CATV etc.

INTRODUCTION(contd.)
Automatic Meter Reading (AMR) is a telephone-based,
calling outbound system, for utility control and reliable,
low-cost meter reading.
With the use of AMR, the need of a person to visit the
consumers site and record the readings of the meters is
eliminated. This also prevents human errors in recording
the reading

OPERATING PRINCIPLE
To operate the AMR, Power Line Modem (PLM) is used,
which transmits and receives data over the power line.
The PLMs operate in a Half Duplex, two-way, Time
Division Multiplex communication mode.
Both the MIU and the DCU contain the PLM device.
The binary data stream is keyed onto a carrier signal by
means of the Frequency Shift Keying (FSK) technique.
The central frequency is shifted +0.3KHz to represent 1 or
0 of the binary data stream. s then coupled onto the power
line by the PLM.
At the receiving end, an identical PLM will detect the
signal and convert it back to a binary data stream. ode.

CONCLUSION
Since automatic meter reading is all about Reading a utility
meter without the requirement for visual inspection of the
meter, it is indeed an easy and fail-safe method for monitoring
consumption details of a customer.
Automatic Meter Reading can detect meter tampering and illegal
drawing of power (hooking/power pilfering).
AMR as a way of improving customer service while reducing
the cost of reading meters.
The Automatic Meter Reading system enables us to save
millions of dollars every year in meter reading costs and also
provide our customers with better information about water use,
more accurate billings, and keep rates as low as we can.
